Assalumu Alaikum beloved Imam, Alhamdulillah, you are great scholar of Deen as I watch your lectures over the internet. I was confused of the English translation of the verse 18:36 which one is correct when I compare it with other English translation which states; ” And I do not think the Hour is coming. And even if I am returned to my Lord, I will find something better than this in return”. The meaning of the last sentence is different as the man is expecting better in return though he didn’t believe in the Coming of the Hour. I don’t understand Arabic so please clarify this difference in the English translation.

Salam ‘alaikum, Jazakum Allahu khairan. SubhanALLAH, ALLAH ‘azza wa jall answered my du’a through your article, imam!This was very very unexpected. I don’t think I can fully articulate what I am feeling at the moment.

Btw, a small correction needs to be made in the 6th line of the fourth from last paragraph.It should be Him and not him.I am quoting the line below for your benefit:

We learn from this that indifference (Ar. zuhd) is not about neglecting the world, but appreciating what we have and attributing it to God’s grace and favors—using it to serve him and society.

Having faith (iman), or the lack of it, usually dictates how we live our life, how we treat others and how we react in times of trouble

Thank for this article Imam Suhaib.

I would like to ask a number of questions regarding two of the points that here mentioned.

The first is in regards to following the “straight path”. In this age of social networks and the internet, the media has done a great job at really confusing us into believing in anything. I suffer from this issue. Many a time I will hear something on the news or over the web, sometimes faith related sometimes not, and I’m in constant confusion to whether to believe this issue or not. There are some issues that I know to be of islamic standing but continue to question their legitimacy due to the different contradicting sources of input I am exposed to. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy conversing with people with other opinions on a multitude of issues. But it’s like I feel my base is of shaky infrastructure.

The other question deals with the issue of communities. What is it in community that we should seek? Communities many a time feel unwelcoming to those who seem a bit different in opinion and thought. Do you have any advice with regards to trying to get absorbed within a specific community without losing what makes a person himself?
