Assalaamualykum Sister,

I am not a student but I do feel I have been where you are and still do at times.

This is not easy as many people are without it, no amount of money can pay for the peace of heart and mind.

Firstly sister I would say, give Sadakah charity, and then in your dua, ask Allah for your peace and make you strong from with in. I used to sit on my prayer mat in the evenings when it was all quiet, and talk to my nafs, explaining to it that this world is nothing, we need to return one day, and I do not want to be counted amongst the losers.

This helped sister, it brought a few things home, also you may have un resolved issuesin life, for example: you said you started madrasah classes which i left halfway to attend my lectures, maybe you could find time to start them again. Make sure your parents are happy with you, and they send their blessings on you always, inshaAllah.

Being a muslimah does not just stop at wearing hijjab, covering observing salaah, not that I am saying these are less in anything, they are fardh to do, there are also plenty of things that are attached to Islam also. InshaAllah I hope this made sense and I will pray that you find your sakoon again, I will do dua that we all have this, and that Allah is always looking upon us with forgiving eyes, Ameen

I think I´ve been there too many times. Sister, remember to calm down and be clear in thinking, since Shaytan wants to create confusion, chaos, instability and other mental calamaties that are so hard to avoid when studying where you study, and facing the pressure you face.

Remember, be positive. This is essential. Do not let Shaytan break down your will-power, and repent sincerely to every little sin you comitt. Be modest in speech. Be modest in clothing. Be modest in thinking. Let an Islamic revolution fight down the worries and the anxiousness of the Shaytaan.

Recite and ponder over the meanings of Sura al-Nas, and Sura al-Falaq.

And keep your ties to other pious Muslims strong, and to your family. Support from other humans, brothers or sisters, that could understand you and share the light of Iman that is present in their blessed hearts is of great joy and benefit!

Be calm. Calmness and a mind clear as the purifying water are essential weapons to wash your soul from spiritual ailments.

I am not studying at any university, but I am a student. And I will probably face your troubles when I study at the University myself, Insh´Allah.

Wa Allah Alam.

I think knowledge of your religion helps a lot. When i began reading authentic books on Islam, it increased my confidence in religion and i felt an increase in faith. Many of the questions in my mind were put to rest.

The book that really catapulted my understanding of Islam was this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Shariah-Abd-.../dp/184200087X . I thoroughly recommend you get it. It has awesome chapters on all aspects of Islam. It's big, but definitely worth the effort.

If you are in South Africa try to get in touch with Hazrat Ml. Yunus Patel saheb db.

[compiit]

Nah i am in Zambia.but hazrat is my spiritual mentor.i dont want to disturb him.he's stil recovering from the cardiac arrest.i email him often to keep connected. Shukran to all.inshallah wil try and implement all.duas please.

Asalam!
Please help.how do u conduct yourself.what do u pray? Do u have a contented heart.please help.i am desperate to get the sukun and chen of the heart.shukran jazilan.

If you want peace and tranquility then follow the Quranic instruction...
'Surely in Allah's remembrance do the hearts find peace.' (Surah13 : v28)

[HRCPda7R]

Nah i am in Zambia.but hazrat is my spiritual mentor.i dont want to disturb him.he's stil recovering from the cardiac arrest.i email him often to keep connected. Shukran to all.inshallah wil try and implement all.duas please.

Hazrat is Persian word and Hazrat word mostly used in india pakistan afghanistan iran and zimbian lauguage is deferent how you know this word?

[AccusaJalsBub]

Zambians get taught urdu in their maktab system.

As for the uni query, 3 things:

1) Anyone going to uni should lower their gaze, that is the biggest test and a youth in his prime lowering the gaze will have amazing sweetness in the heart.

2) Take out 5-10 mins each day to ponder over the day, and cry over the mistake to Allah. If a person doesnt manage to cry it shows the hardness of the heart but insha-Allah with these 5-10 mins daily, trying to cry to Allah over sins will soften the heart.

3) Gain deeni knowledge.

Finally you can mail Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel, although doctors have told him to take it easy Hazrat is replying to mails.

Who teach the classes you have attended ? Male teachers or female teachers ?

Is your uni women-only uni ?

[compiit]

Jazakallah to All, esp. Bro keepthegazedown. U really helped me survive. Alhumdulilah, lots of taubah and astagfar has been helping me keep spiritually stable.but is the restlessnes because i stopped madrasah, my apaa was reeaally moved.. I mailed hadrat, still waiting for reply, but it will backfire on me as he tried alot to discourage me but i could do nothing about it..
I go to a co-educational uni with male lecturers. Why asking?

[SantaGanstag]

Why is it exactly at your uni that you feel bad?
Maybe its important to find out why exactly there ?

May Allah guide you and us all to his guidance and remembrance and forgive us all our sins, ameen

Good luck sister

[Ephejvll]

Salam,

Your not the only one, I went through that too and I agree its really difficult to feel that peace. When your in the confines of Madrasah its easier to be spiritual because that's what your surrounded by. But when your at uni, that's where the greater test is. Try and go against your whims as much as possible and you'll feel good about overcoming shaytan and his ploys. Before you go to bed, meditate, perform zikr and contemplate on improving the next day.

[Nubtoubrem]

I go to a co-educational uni with male lecturers. Why asking?

Is it really allowed in Islam to send a woman to learn from male teachers where
proper veils are not maintained ? I am curious.

As far as I know, in a woman-only madrasah, the teachers teach the girls while staying behind proper veils . But such segregation can not be seen in Western universities.

What about your uni ? How do you maintain proper Islamic way of learning in a co-educational uni ?

The same could be asked of men too...is it allowed for men to attend universities where corruption is strife and it is difficult for them to keep their gaze lowered? The situation is difficult...

At the end of the day, it depends on how strong minded the individual is, if their intention is sincere and they are there just for the sake of education then Allah will help them and make it easy for them. If they remain focussed then they'll achieve what they want too.

We need Muslim women who are religious and who are also educated, because currently we have a handful of modern Muslimahs representing the wider Muslim women and these are the people who are given a say by the media too.

I want to agree to disagree. I find a lot of problem with men taking their wives at UTH and "spreading" themselves infront of non muslim men for a check up coz they cant afford a private clinic... and yet condemn girls education. Having said that if Amatullah.. you are studying for such a cause (?) then Bravo to you!!! You have my full support. Otherwise no no...

[EliteFranceska]

I am attending a nursing school, so most students are women, and that makes things easier for me. But I find that when I am not at ease, I spend extra time reading. Every night I read something -- if not the Quran, then other works about it, or history of Islam... something to center myself and learn more about how I believe.

I make many mistakes daily, but I remind myself that my intentions are known, and I rely on this to keep me going.

[compiit]

Yes its quite hard to be 'spiritual' at uni.. But i try my very best.i totally cover myself(except the eyes) throughout lectures but during labs i have to remove my gloves.i talk minimum and that only with females. My niyyah is to become a doc to spread islam and to help the people esp. Muslim women.
But still i donot feel right.sometime's i feel that i won't see the end of the course.(i'm not generally pessimistic) where are all these feelings coming from??ALLAHU A'LAM!
Also today was our darul ulum's hifz jalsa, and the bayans and all..i'm feeling like what's the point in studying??real honour is in gaining knowledge of deen!!i'm s000000
hopeless and in the pits!!!!
qibla, mind if i ask where u r from to know UTH??SHUKRAN TO ALL.KINDLY DONOT EXCLUDE ME FROM YOUR PIOUS DUAS.
