Mistakes are part of destiny

No one wants to make a mistake and do himself or others mischief.
However, making mistakes is an important part of our trial in the
life of this world. Allah created our trial in the life of this
world in this way. Anyone can make a mistake but what is important
is that he repents after his mistake and strive not to repeat this
mistake.
Allah reveals in the verses of the Qur'an that human beings are weak
creatures who can forget and be mistaken. A person can make a
mistake when he does not think something through, ignores
something, does not take the necessary precautions, is overwhelmed
by his weak points, forgets or is mistaken. This is very natural.
However the important thing is how the person reacts after this,
rather than the mistake itself. However big the mistake is, as soon
as the person decides to resign himself and begins to show the
attitude hoped to please Allah, that mistake disappears -by Allah's
leave. Almighty Allah reveals as such in Surah Al- Imran:
" Those who, when they act indecently or wrong themselves, remember
Allah and ask forgiveness for their bad actions (and who can forgive
bad actions except Allah?) and do not knowingly persist in what
they were doing." (Surah Al 'Imran, 135)
Allah Creates Everything We Do
Everything a person lives throughout his or her life, everything they
do, every situation they face, all of them are created by Allah
with all of the pros and cons. In the verses it is revealed that
not even a single leaf falls without the knowledge of Allah.
(Surah al-An'am, 59). In Surat al-Qalam, it is revealed "Everything
they did is in the Books. Everything is recorded, big or small."
(Surat al-Qamar, 52-53). This means that the person makes that
mistake because Allah wills him to do so; it is in his destiny to
make that mistake. When he acts according to the Qur'an, something
good will happen after that mistake.
For example, a person may break a vase when walking by it because he
is not careful enough or does not look ahead. Or he can bump into a
dinner plate prepared with great effort and knock it off a table. He
may cause the people waiting for him to delay their jobs because he
fell asleep. Now in all these there is a variety of reasons created
by Allah. Allah is the One Who breaks that object. Maybe that object
would have caused a conflict between its owners or broken in a
dangerous way that would harm someone. Maybe Allah will make a much
more beautiful one to be purchased instead. In the same way, Allah
is the One Who makes the food spill on the floor. Maybe there is an
bad ingredient inside that food and it would have made someone ill.
Maybe that food would have prevented that person from eating
something healthier. Also Allah is the One Who does not wake a person
who is late for a job because he fell asleep because maybe his
friends waiting for him need to be late as well. Maybe this will
protect them from some danger or maybe bring the means to carry out
a more important job.
If one does not realize these facts, when he makes a mistake he
would panic and feel anxiety and sorrow. He would feet unease and
dismay. His sadness would increase even because of the effect of
this situation on other people and his troubles increase day by day.
However, it is not in line with the moral values of the Qur'an to
feel sad, dismay and troubled because of a mistake, which took
place in his destiny by Allah's will. Muslims overthrow their
discomort and anxieties as a result of their mistakes again by
turning to Allah and acting according to the moral values of the
Qur'an. They do not fall into depression like people who do not live
by the morality of religion. They do not feel sadness, sorrow or
hopelessness by evaluating their mistakes with an emotional state
of mind. They only experinece a very deep and strong sense of
regret. However this is not an evil kind of regret; it is a Muslim
kind of regret because this feeling of regret helps them hold onto
the Qur'an even more strongly. They pray to Allah even more deeply.
Their religious enthusiasm, determination to live by the moral
values of the Qur'an, submission to Allah, faith in the hereafter
and fear of Allah increase tremendaously. They take very sincere
decisions to become better in every way and become more
enthusiastic and energetic by striving more in this way. They know
that even if they could take the time back, they would still make
the same mistakes. When they criticize themselves and feel regret
for their actions, they do not forget that all things have occured
according to destiny. Therefore they do not "live in a sense of
guilt" as irreligious people do. Allah revealed in the Qur'an as
such:
"Everything they did is in the Books. Everything is recorded, big
or small. (Surat al-Qamar, 52-53)
It is impossible to claim that a person will never make any mistakes
throughout his life and is complete and flawless because human
beings are created as weak creatures who can make mistakes. Our
Almighty Lord is the One Who is forgiving and accepts repentance.
Therefore, a believer needs to take lessons from the mistakes he
made knowingly or unknowingly or because he followed his inner
self. What he needs to do is to regret it and follow the truth and
submit to our Lord and strive not to repeat that mistake. Of course
he needs to be very careful about not making any mistakes and
commit any further sins and protecting the boundaries of our Lord.
But even if he makes a mistake it is a very good quality of faith to
ask for forgiveness from Allah. The names of Allah as "The Acceptor
of Repentance" (At-Tawwab), "The All-Forgiving" (Al-Ghaffar), "The
All-Merciful" (Ar-Rahman) are manifested on the believers who
regret their mistakes, ask for forgiveness and turn to Allah.
Believers Take Lessons From Their Mistakes
As a result of their faith and fear of Allah, mistakes help
believers become more clean morally. Maybe they make a mistake on
one thing, but they remember that mistake all their lives and avoid
making a similar mistake by taking lessons from it.
However, Allah created human beings especially in a character so
that they can use their conscience, feel regret and repent, turn to
Him and ask for His forgiveness and take decisions not to repeat
that mistake.
A person must do all he can not to make a mistake; and strive to act
in a very moral way by using his mind, will and conscience to the
end. But when there is a mistake, he needs to act in the way as
described in the Qur'an.
If that mistake has helped the person to better understand his
weakness in the face of Allah's infinite power and his need for
Allah, then this shows that person's sincere faith and fear of
Allah. If he regrets his mistake and fears to be held responsible
in the Day of Judgment, and if he submits to Allah's mercy and
forgiveness, then he is abiding by the moral values of the Qur'an by
Allah's leave. Such a person prays sincerely so Allah accepts his
repentance and forgives him. He promises to Allah with a true heart
not to repeat that mistake. In one verse, our Lord heralds that He
will accept the repentance of his sincere servants:
"But if anyone makes repentance after his wrongdoing and puts
things right, Allah will turn towards him. Allah is Ever-Forgiving,
Most Merciful." (Surat al-Ma'ida, 39)
The Qur'an is the only measure for believers, so their approach to a
person who makes a mistake is always in line with the moral values
of the Qur'an. A believer knows that every person is a human being
who is weak and who can make a mistake easily. He does not forget
that Allah is the One Who creates everything –by Allah's leave- and
he can distinguish a sincere mistake from a deliberate one. When a
person is sincere, his love or respect would not change because of a
single mistake - by Allah's leave.

Enthusiasm to talk about Islam gives people liveliness

Why do believers feel the need to tell others about Islam enthusiastically?
Why is the reason believers are constantly enthusiastic?
Allah commanded that there is a group among believers who call
people to the good and right:
"Let there be a community among you who call to the good, and
enjoin the right, and forbid the wrong. They are the ones who have
success." (Surah Al 'Imran, 104)
In the direction of this verse of Allah, sincere Muslims seek to
tell people about the beauty of the morality of the Qur'an and the
wrongness of living in a disagreeable way with this morality and
channel them towards Allah's religion. Since they live the beautiful
morality of religion, and know that this brings a very comfortable
life to people, they want others to experience the same peace and
beauty. What is more important, since they are aware how real hell
is, they want all people to live a life that would please Allah and
so avoid eternal torment in hell.
It is very important for even a single person to see the truth,
because for this person there is the eternal life of either the
garden or the hell as a return for his deeds in this world.
Therefore they face all sorts of sacrifices, even it means that a
single person will be saved from hell and reach Allah's grace. When
needed they can spend their months and years day and night in order
to familiarize this person to the morality of religion and embrace
this superior morality. In the same way, they can put forth all of
their financial means for a single person's hereafter with
enthusiasm and desire. Their enthusiasm gives them great physical
and spiritual strength. They continue to speak about Allah's
religion in the best way until the end of their lives. However it
needs to be clarified that believers continue their preaching with
the same enthusiasm even if not a single person finds faith as a
result of their efforts. This is because their responsibility is
only to speak about the religion. Allah is the One Who will give
people guidance. However in the Qur'an it is revealed that in spite
of the sincere and profound effort shown by our Prophet (saas),
many polytheists in Mecca did not believe and Allah reminded this
situation to the Prophet (saas) with the verse, " You cannot guide
those you would like to but Allah guides those He wills. He has
best knowledge of the guided." (Surat al-Qasas, 56) .

Believers' Enthusiasm and Excitement Is Very Different From An
Understanding of "Enthusiasm Based On Self-Interest"
The enthusiasm of believers is due to their love of and committment
to Allah. They have directed their love passionately not to this
world, but to Allah Who created them from nothing, grants them
their livelihood, gives them life and is all-merciful and
all-compassionate.
The most important reason for this is that believers evaluate things
with an open mind. They are aware that Allah is the One Who gives
them life, protects all living and non-living things on earth and
that all beings other than Him are dependent on Him.
As a result of their love of and committment to Allah, they strive
to please Allah throughout their lives. The desire to earn the good
pleasure of Allah is the most important source of believers'
enthusiasm and joy. The desire to earn the good pleasure of Allah
and go to the Garden Allah prepared for believers gives them an
endless strength, enthusiasm and joy.
People who do not live according to the moral values of religion
seem to be very ethusiastic when their own interests are concerned.
However, when there is a situation conflicting with their
interests, they lose all of their enthusiasm and excitement. Because
they do not have sincere faith in Allah and the hereafter, they
forget many commandments of the religion at such a moment. They do
not think that the life of this world is created as a trial, that
He will test people with many good and evil-looking incidents and
that He will reward those who show good patience. Because of the
sickness in their hearts they fall into suspicion and (Allah is
beyond that) they doubt Allah's help. Instead of trusting in Allah,
they fall into despair and begin to make assumptions about Allah. So
the sickness, which they attempt to hide in their hearts, begin to
reflect in their speech. In the Qur'an, it is revealed that such
people will suddenly lose their enthusiasm in such situations and
begin to susppect Allah's promise as such:
"When the hypocrites and people with sickness in their hearts said,
'What Allah and His Messenger promised us was mere delusion.'"
(Surat al-Ahzab, 12)
Of course, they behave like this because they do not have strong
faith in their hearts. These people cannot comprehend that every
thing they face is created as a trial and they are distinguished
from those with sickness in their hearts by their reactions to the
trial. Believers who have sincere faith experience the peace and
enthusiasm of being submitted to Allah with a solid trust and of
knowing that Allah's help is close.

What Is the Source of Believers' Enthusiasm?
"The believers are only those who have had faith in Allah and His
Messenger and then have had no doubt and have struggled with their
wealth and themselves in the Way of Allah. They are the ones who are
true to their word. (Surat al-Hujurat, 15)
As it is revealed in the verse above, in the Qur'an Allah defines
believers as, "Those who had faith and had no doubt and have
struggled in the way of Allah". This attribute of believers no doubt
explains the enthusiasm in their hearts very explicitly. Likewise,
believers strive for the values they believe in doubtlessly,
regardless of what happens, only with the strength given by the
enthusiam of their faith.
Another reason that keeps believers' enthusiasm alive is that they
live in between fear and hope as revealed in the verse, "... And
invoke Him in fear and aspiration. Indeed, the mercy of Allah is
near to the doers of good." (Surah Ar-Araf , 56) "Living in between
fear and hope" means:
Believers could never be completely sure whether Allah is pleased
with them or not, and whether they showed morals that could be
rewarded with His Garden. Therefore, they are aware Allah's
torment on the Day of Judgment and constantly strive to make their
morals better. At the same time they know in their conscience that
they strived as much as they possibly could in order to earn Allah's
good pleasure, contentment and love. Thus they have great hope
that they could reach the grace and Garden of Allah Who is
infinitely merciful. Since they experience these two feelings, hope
and fear, at the same time, they never find their efforts
sufficient and never consider themselves exempted from mistakes and
deficiencies. As it is revealed in the verse, "... And those
who...fear their Lord and are afraid of the evil of [their] account
." (Surat Ar-Rad, 21) , they are aware of Allah's torment every
moment. They embrace Allah's religion with enthusiasm and show
great effort. Their fear of Allah withholds them from being
intimidated or slacking off and keeps their enthusiasm alive
constantly. Knowing that Allah heralds those who believe and do good
deeds with His Garden sparks and revives them. In return for this
continuous enthusiasm, Allah promises believers this good tiding:
"Give good news to the believers that they will receive immense
favor from Allah." (Surat al-Ahzab, 47)
Believers Are Enthusiastic and Determined in Their Prayers
A faithful person comes through with meticulousness and enthusiasm
in his prayers. He performs his prayers five times a day as well as
ablution and fasting as commanded by our Almighty Lord throughout
his life with enthusiasm. As it is narrated from Bin Omar (ra), the
Messenger of Allah (saas) said:
"Islam is based on five cornerstones. Witnessing that there is no god
but Allah and Mohammad (saas) is the Messenger of Allah. Performing
the prayer, giving alms, going on a pilgrimage to Allah's house Kaba
and fasting in Ramadan." (Bukhari, Faith 1, 2, Interpretation of
verse (2) 30; Muslim, Faith 19-22. Moreover look at. Tirmidhi, Iman
3; Nesaî, Faith 13)
The enthusiasm of believers is completely different from the
enthusiasm of those who do not live the moral values of religion.
Next to their temporary excitement, believers' is a continuous
enthusiasm based on faith in Allah.

In the Qur'an It is Pointed Out That All Prophets Strove With Great
Enthusiasm and Excitement For Telling Others the Word
Even though every prophet has been faced with a number of
difficulties while telling the word to people, they have never been
intimidated. On the contrary, they have tried every way to show their
communities the right path. In the Qur'an, the Prophet Noah
(pbuh)'s sincere efforts in this regard are pointed out as such:
" He said, 'My Lord, I have called my people night and day but my
calling has only made them more evasive. Indeed, every time I
called them to Your forgiveness, they put their fingers in their
ears, wrapped themselves up in their clothes and were overweeningly
arrogant. Then I called them openly. Then I addressed them publicly
and addressed them privately. I said, "Ask forgiveness of your
Lord. Truly He is Endlessly Forgiving. " (Surah Nuh, 5-10)
As it is revealed in the verses, the Prophet Noah (pbuh) preached the
moral values of the religion with enthusiasm in order to familiarize
the people's hearts to faith where he lived. He told about the
greatness of Allah day and night. Whenever they heard about the
right, they turned away from this call obstinately. Thanks to the
Prophet Noah (pbuh)'s enthusiasm and excitement to preach the moral
values of religion and carry out Allah's command, he was not
affected by their actions and continued his mission with a solid
determination. Despite their arrogance, he searched for different
ways to make them like the faith. He wanted to save them from the
irreligious system in which they live by telling them about the
existence of Allah; sometimes openly and sometimes secretively.
However, it is important not to forget that the Prophet Noah (pbuh)
and those who preach Allah's religion with great enthusiasm and
sincerity will be rewarded for every word they speak and effort
they show on this path –by Allah's leave- because as it is revealed
in the verse, " Those who make repentance, those who worship, those
who praise, those who fast, those who bow, those who prostrate,
those who command the right, those who forbid the wrong, those who
preserve the limits of Allah: give good news to the believers. "
(Surat at-Tawba, 112) , Allah heralds those who command the good
and forbid the wrong.

It is also reported that any believer who is diseased or ailed, should
rub the ailed organ with his hand and repeat the following (holy
verse) with sincerity:
وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ ٱلْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
wa nunazzilu min alqur'¡ni m¡huwa shif¡'un wa ra¦matun lilmu'min¢na
"[And] We reveal of the Qur'¡n that which is a healing and a mercy for believers
وَلاَ يَزِيدُ ٱلظَّالِمِينَ إِلاََّ خَسَاراً.
wa l¡yaz¢du al¨¨¡lim¢na ill¡khas¡ran
though it increase the evil-doers in naught save ruin."
If he does, he will be restored to health no matter what his disease
would be. Confirming this, the holy verse corroborates that it carries
healing and mercy to the believers.
An ailed person is recommended to purchase one ¥¡`( [1])of wheat, lie

He may then sit, gather the wheat grains around him, repeat the same
prayer, divide the wheat grains into four shares, give each share to a
poor man, and repeat the same prayer. Once an ailed person does all
that, he will be restored to health, Allah willing.

It is reported that when a child is ailed, the mother may ascend to a
roof, throw the head cover away, expose the hair of her head under the
sky, prostrate herself, and say the following supplication:
اللَّهُمَّ رَبِّ انْتَ اعْطَيْتَنِيهِ

O Allah, so (please) renew Your donation to me on this day.
إِنَّكَ قَادِرٌ مُقْتَدِرٌ

You are verily all-powerful and omnipotent.
The mother will not raise her head from the prostration but that her
child is restored to health.
Al-Shah¢d, may Allah have mercy upon him, has reported that whoever is
tensely ailed may recite S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah forty times on a glass of
water. He may then pour the water on his body. He may have a measure
of wheat near him and hand over each beggar a measure and ask him to
pray Almighty Allah to cure him. If he does so, he will be restored to
health, Allah willing.
"Medicate your patients with alms." This saying is reported through
considerable chains of authority.
With reference to removal of diseases, al-Shah¢d has also reported
that the right arm of a patient may be held while reciting S£rah
al-F¡ti¦ah seven times. After that, the following prayer may be said:
اللَّهُمَّ ازِلْ عَنْهُ ٱلْعِلَلَ وَٱلدَّاءَ
all¡humma azil `anhu al`ilala waldd¡'a
O Allah, (please) remove ailments and maladies from him,
وَاعِدْهُ إِلَىٰ ٱلصِّحَّةِ وَٱلشِّفَاءِ
wa a`id-hu il¡al¥¥i¦¦ati walshshif¡'i
restore him to health and cure,
وَامِدَّهُ بِحُسْنِ ٱلْوِقَايَةِ

and remission of his evildoings.
اللَّهُمَّ وَصَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
all¡humma wa ¥alli `al¡mu¦ammadin wa ¡li mu¦ammadin
O Allah, (please) bless Mu¦ammad and the Household of Mu¦ammad.
If this does not work, S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah may be repeated seventy times,
and it will be effective, Allah willing.
Imam al-B¡qir (`a) is reported to have said, "Whoever is not healed by
S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah and S£rah al-Taw¦¢d, nothing else will heal him.
Verily, these two S£rahs cure of all ailments."
Imam al-¯¡diq (`a) is reported to have said: Allah will certainly cure
any ailed believer who says the following verse sincerely while
rubbing his ailed organ with his hand:
وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ ٱلْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
wa nunazzilu min alqur'¡ni m¡huwa shif¡'un wa ra¦matun lilmu'min¢na
"[And] We reveal of the Qur'¡n that which is a healing and a mercy for
believers."
Imam al-Ri¤¡ (`a) is reported to have said: For all ailments, you may
say the following prayer:
يَا مُنْزِلَ ٱلشِّفَاءِ وَمُذْهِبَ ٱلدَّاءِ
y¡munzila alshshif¡'i
O revealer of cure and remover of remedy,
صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ
wa mudhhiba aldd¡'i
(please) bless Mu¦ammad and his Household
وَانْزِلْ عَلَىٰ وَجَعِي ٱلشِّفَاءَ
¥alli `al¡mu¦ammadin wa ¡lih¢
and reveal cure upon my ailment.

Ailments duas- Mafatih Baqiyatus salehat

Imam al-¯¡diq (`a) is reported to have said: Any diseased person who
repeats these statements forty times immediately after the Dawn Prayer
and then rubs the painful part with his hand, Almighty Allah will free
him from the disease and restore him to health:
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
bismill¡hi alrra¦m¡ni alrra¦¢mi
In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَالَمِينَ
al¦amdu lill¡hi rabbi al`¡lam¢na
All praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
حَسْبُنَا ٱللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ ٱلْوَكِيلُ
¦asbun¡all¡hu wa ni`ma alwak¢lu
Sufficient to us is Allah, and most excellent is the Protector.
تَبَارَكَ ٱللَّهُ احْسَنُ ٱلْخَالِقِينَ
tab¡raka all¡hu a¦sanu alkh¡liq¢na
Blessed be Allah, the Best of all creators.
وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاََّ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
wa l¡¦awla wa l¡quwwata ill¡bill¡hi al`aliyyi al`a¨¢mi
There is neither might nor power save with Allah, the Most High and All-great.
I, the patient, waited for dawn, performed the obligatory prayer, and
sat in my place repeating these words while I was fearful lest the
pains would return to me. Keeping on this state for three days, the
disease was gone. My father, after I had told him about this, thanked
Almighty Allah. When he informed one of the physicians about the
restoration of my health, the physician, who was non-Muslim, visited
and examined me. When he was sure that my disease had gone, he
converted to Islam, bore witness that Mu¦ammad is the messenger of
God, and committed himself to the teachings of Islam.
Al-Kaf`am¢, in his book entitledal-Mi¥b¡¦, has mentioned that whoever
is diseased, may rub over the place of his prostration (in prayers)
with his hand and then rub the ailed organ after each obligatory
prayer seven times. He may then say the following prayer:
يَا مَنْ كَبَسَ ٱلارْضَ عَلَىٰ ٱلْمَاءِ
y¡man kabasa al-ar¤a `al¡alm¡'i
O He Who has pressed the earth on water,
وَسَدَّ ٱلْهَوَاءَ بِٱلسَّمَاءِ
wa sadda alhaw¡'a bilssam¡'i
blocked the air with the sky,
وَٱخْتَارَ لِنَفْسِهِ احْسَنَ ٱلاسْمَاءِ
wakht¡ra linafsih¢ a¦sana al-asm¡'i
and chose for Himself the most excellent of all names,
صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
¥alli `al¡mu¦ammadin wa ¡li mu¦ammadin
(please) send blessings upon Mu¦ammad and the Household of Mu¦ammad,
وَٱفْعَلْ بِي…
waf`al b¢…
do to me…
وَٱرْزُقْنِي وَعَافِنِي مِنْ…
warzuqn¢ wa `¡fin¢ min…
grant me sustenance, and cure me of…
