The recitation of this du’a was after Musa (as) was forced to escape from the city, into the desert, and headed towards Madyan.

After a long journey, Prophet Musa (as) came across a group of male shepherds who were watering their flock at a well. Keeping their distance, he noticed two women waiting in the back with their sheep. Why? For whatever reason, they felt it was safer to wait than to mix with the men who were gathered at the well.

They explained to Musa (as) that their father was an old man and unable to feed their flock, so they had to take on this duty. Now keep in mind that Musa (as) himself was disheveled and exhausted from his travels, he likely did not have much to eat or to drink. Still, he empathized with their situation, “So he watered (their flocks) for them; then he turned back to the shade…”(28:24) as he turned back to the shade he recited this du’a, Rabbi innee limaaa anzalta ilaiya min khairin faqeer meaning, “My Lord, indeed I am, for whatever good You would send down to me, in need.”

Musa (as) acted in an honorable manner to help these women in a foreign town amongst strangers. He prayed to Allah, asking him to provide more opportunities to do good acts like the one he just did. Also note, after having helped the women he did not stay and mingle, it says “watered (their flocks) for them; then he turned back to the shade”. Musa (as) in this du’a also uses his state by saying that he is faqeer meaning in dire need, or in poverty.

LESSON FROM THIS DU’A

What we can learn from this du’a is if you have any skeletons in your closest you need to pray to Allah and ask yourself what good can I create in the world today?

For Musa (as) the death of the man weighed heavily on his consciousness and he took on the responsibility for self-redemption. Whatever opportunities presented itself to do good was viewed by him as blessing from Allah to right his wrongs.

Ask yourself, how can I make it so that my being here has made the world a better place and not worse?

This does not mean we need to build a foundation helping millions of people, what’s important is that we just start somewhere. What you can do today with what you have is enough, don’t put starting off to some arbitrarily defined point in the future. Avoid the chatter in your mind that wants to procrastinate, “oh, once my kid graduates from high school” or “oh, once I have this, that and the other thing, then I can…”. This is a very dangerous way to rationalize not doing anything because you it’s very easy to begin to believe it.

WE ONLY HAVE A LIMITED TIME ON THIS PLANET

The average person will have 900 months on this planet (that’s 75 years if you do the math) and our childhood occupies 216 months of that (684 months left), this does not include all the months that are lost to sleeping, watching TV, commuting, and working which probably takes up another 70%.

This leaves us with 205 months.

That number scares me.

I tell you this because we should feel a sense of urgency to act now. As the proverb goes, “the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second-best time is now”.

The sooner you plant the more of a chance you give yourself that the seed can grow and flourish into something much bigger than you ever could have imagined. But even if reality did not match your ambition how could you be saddened by the fact that, (1) you put yourself out there and tried and (2) that you still touched the life of one individual for the better?

And so, we learn through Musa (as), the best way to act and bury your bad deeds is to pile on a much greater ratio of good deeds. Every chance to do good is an opportunity that Allah has bestowed upon you, so you should take it and run. Wake up every day and try to see all the opportunities around you, be grateful to Allah you get the privilege to be of service today.

And I'm playing Enderal again

Now I'm plaing for a phasmalist again, this is my third prophet

They are from left to right: a psychologically unstable young scientist, a widow-huntress with the character of a caring mom and a rabid werewolf pirate

It's funny that I'm writing a little fan fiction on Enderal not about Tarael and the prophet-scientist, whom I ship, but with a huntress, because who but a wonderful woman with a big heart will help rehabilitate after such a shit

it's clearly not worth waiting for help from a dude with addictions and depression:/

oot zelda doodle i liked :’-)))

#tloz #ocarina of time #oot #zelda #my handwriting is very very bad so i actually added alt text/image description #which i should already be doing with everything anyway. i wanna go thru and update some old stuff with that too #but yeah anyway. all the stuff this series presents about being Fated To Be Something or Fated To End Up Somewhere #even if that thing or place is ultimately Horrible and the consequences primarily occur off camera or post-canon after the Happy Ending #characters who end the story with pretty much nothing and also you find out later they inadvertently cause a far worse disaster #than even the one they gave up everything to prevent #oot zelda’s infinite number of issues and almost guaranteed lack of happiness or normality for the rest of her life #even after ‘fixing everything’ in literally the best possible way she could figure out how. given everything she knew #and then blaming herself for accidentally allowing everything to go wrong in the first place. by trying to fix it #and she was literally just a kid going insane from prophetic visions while simultaneously being disbelieved by everyone around her #except impa but she’s a whole other situation entirely. with a whole other set of baggage on the other end of the spectrum #i just rambled sos so much oops. anyway yea oot zelda #its fine. i throw up when i think about her. its fine

My toxic trait is getting two days of rest and immediately feeling like I could pick back up my Enderal fancomic and finish it (I'm a cartoonist with four hours of freedom a day)

Mark and Cesar in The Thing au!

Brief descriptions below the cut:

Mark (34 years old): The mechanic at the station. He's friends with Cesar, and they have been friends since high school. Not super social with his peers, and only really talks to Cesar casually. (Though their friendship is. strained at times. they're trying to work things out though.) Doesn't trust new people easily. Mark's also estranged from his family, aside from maintaining contact with his sister and contacting her sometimes.

Cesar (35 years old): The Dog Handler at the station. Because of this, he spends a lot of time with the dogs. (definitely an animal lover.) A bit more social than Mark, but not incredibly so. He's nice, though definitely speaks his mind on things going on, and isn't afraid to be kind of rude about it if necessary.

Hello!^_~ Last week I had no idea what to draw and I went into Enderal and I wanted to have a picture from the main menu on my wall(o′┏▽┓｀o) , but I couldn’t find it in a higher resolution to make a poster, so I decided to draw itφ(*￣0￣) and she I like it that way (but remembering the ending makes me sad（；´д｀）ゞ) In no way do I claim the authorship of this picture, since it was taken from the game ;D

Sadaqah Jariyah – a blessed gift( share knowledge)

DU’A ASKING ALLAH FOR HELP

رَبَّهُ أَنِّي مَغْلُوبٌ فَانْتَصِرْ

Rabbahooo annee maghloobun fantasir

“My Lord, Indeed, I am overpowered, so help.”

Surah Qamar Ayat 10

This du’a is a perfect example for us to learn how we could use our emotional state to call for Allah’s help. Allah responded to Nuh’s prayer and closed the case for all those who disbelieved and denied.

To increase the power of your du’a you can also use your emotional state or circumstance. For example saying, “O Allah, I am faqeer (فقیر‎)” meaning from poverty or in a dire circumstance. In the Qur’an Allah tells us he responds to those who show complete submission and dependence on him for change (see Surah An-Naml Ayat 62-64).

“Is He [not best] who responds to the desperate one when he calls upon Him and removes evil and makes you inheritors of the earth?”

The one quality we see in all the Prophets (may peace be upon them) is extreme determination.

They were obsessed and showed no quit in them even though faced many setbacks. In the end, nothing could deter them from doing what was required of them.

All the Prophets fought and struggled against perversion and deviation.

They faced constant ridicule, torture, and banishment and came into harm’s way for being vocal in what they believed. We hear the word Prophet and imagine a person of high status, respected, and beloved, and there is some truth to this, but this admiration was earned.

Their mission was to guide and help people and they worked tirelessly towards this mission. Imagine the critics that would show up today if you, by yourself, told an entire community their current beliefs and practices were wrong.

This is something Prophet Nuh (as) had to personally deal with.

After the death of Prophet Adam (as) the people over the years began to drift away and commit shirk (i.e. worshipping idols, statues, and creating associations with Allah). Allah, in His Mercy, sent guidance to the people through Nuh (as).

The Qur’an tells us the people who were receptive to this message were the poor. The others were said to have plugged their ears, some even became hostile towards Nuh (as) and took it upon themselves to berate and humiliate him.

‘The people of Noah denied before them, and they denied Our servant and said, “A madman,” and he was repelled.’ (54:9) They even threatened Nuh (as) “They said, ‘If you do not desist, O Noah, you will surely be of those who are stoned.’” (26:116).

From the tafseer Maarif-ul-Quran 54:9, “Abd Ibn Humaid reports from Mujahid that when some of his people found him somewhere, they would choke him, as a result, he would become unconscious. But when he recovered, he would pray to Allah, ‘O Allah! Forgive my people, for they do not know the truth.’”

In Sahih Bukhari 6929 and Sahih Muslim 1792, it was narrated by Abdullah: As if I am looking at the Prophet (ﷺ) while he was speaking about one of the prophets whose people have beaten and wounded him, and he was wiping the blood off his face and saying, “O Lord! Forgive my, people as they do not know.” Although the Prophet goes unnamed in this hadith the belief is that it could be referencing Prophet Nuh (as), and Allah knows best.

They were obsessed and showed no quit in them even though faced many setbacks. In the end, nothing could deter them from doing what was required of them. They kept plugging away, day after day, without losing hope or faith. In the Qur’an, it says, Nuh (as) endured patiently and preached Islam for 950 years. In the Qur’an it tells us, Nuh (as) endured patiently and preached Islam for 950 years. In that time the numbers of believers did not increase, “and We certainly sent Noah to his people, and he remained among them a thousand years minus fifty years, and the flood seized them while they were wrongdoers” (29:14) (remember this next time you want to quit because you haven’t seen progress in the first 2 weeks of starting something new).

One generation after the next they waged war against Nuh (as) fighting back against what he taught. Even his own son rejected his call, when the city was being flooded Nuh (as) cried out, “O my son, come aboard with us and be not with the disbelievers. [But] he said, ‘I will take refuge on a mountain to protect me from the water.’ [Noah] said, ‘There is no protector today from the decree of Allah, except for whom He gives mercy.’ And the waves came between them, and he was among the drowned.” (11:42-43)

Having this context allows us to understand the emotional pain Prophet Nuh (as) must have experienced when he recited the du’a, Rabbi inni maghlubun fan-tass-ssir, “My Lord, Indeed, I am overpowered, so help.” This is also a perfect example for us to learn how we could use our emotional state to call for Allah’s help. Allah responded to Nuh’s prayer and closed the case for all those who disbelieved and denied. The following ayah in the Qur’an reads, “Then we opened the gates of the heaven with rain pouring down” (54:11).

I would say that, considering his history, he's not that wrong, but even I have doubts as to whether that would be right. But at the end of the day, this is just a joke that's been in my head for a while, sooooo…eh.

Oh hey, an attempt at a comic? Made by me? That I didn't give up during the process or lost all motivation? What was my only attempt at this, 2019? Damn, it's been a long time.

I thought about leaving this here without editing or any colors, just the natural ones from the paper and pencil. But something in my head said "HAHAHA, no" so I went back to work. I had to put this idea down on paper this time (literally). If another year passes without me being able to execute this idea, I would lose my mind.

This scenario was inspired by this video by Jehtt, inspired by the original meme by Windii. Credits to both of them.

For a long time I wanted to joke - especially on the anniversary - that I wanted Sammy to only have less than 5 seconds in the next game (or in other words, take his screen time in DR, and shorten it even more). You know, just for the funnies (unless..?) But,thanks to the news released at the beginning of January this year about The Cage, I legally can't do this joke anymore…this year. Don't worry, after that comes out (and finally gives Sam the screen time he wants,hopefully) and we start to crawl into the Bendy 3 production era, I'll make this joke when I can.

Anyway, happy birthday Sammy Lawrence. You may not be my favorite character in this franchise, but there are some things I can actually appreciate about you. Plus, you made me laugh a few moments before (you know what I'm talking about) so there's that.

And happy 7 years to Chapter 2, and by extension, Susie, Norman, Alice, the Searchers, (Johnny????), and Beta Ink Bendy. (I would mention Jack too, but he was only introduced with the release of CH4, so technically it's not his birthday yet, but I'll consider him here).

And now? May I be able to do something for CH4's anniversary. Wish me luck,cus I'll need it.

(it might be really late now, but it's still the 18th where I live, so it's still his birthday, so I still won)

#bendy and the ink machine #batim #bendy and the dark revival #batdr #sammy lawrence #porter batdr #batdr porter #crookedsmileart #another fun fact: I thought of this comic with Wally in mind instead of Porter #Problem is I don't have any designs at the moment of Wally as his ink counterpart;and I didn't want to have to think of a design for him no #So I switched to Porter;I think it still fits #my relationship with Sammy is complicated #Sammy; as the human director of the music department? He is ok. He's not my favorite of the human cast; but I don't dislike him. He's fine #Sammy; the prophet? Eehhh. I prefer the human.#Like there are things I can actually appreciate about him.#Certain details that I find interesting. And his appearance in CH2; for what it is; it's not bad at all.#But in general? I'm not very interested in this guy (at least;this version of him) And his post-CH2 appearances don't really help his cause #I still believe they had no plan to bring Sammy back later in the story #but because of his popularity they decided “yep;let's bring him back”; problem is: I don't think they knew what to do with him after CH2 #and one might argue that they still don't know #Hopefully;The Cage will finally give Sammy the screen time he so desperately needs.#and maybe; then; I can finally start to like him a little more (okay; let's not go that far now)#Maybe his deaths in the franchise aren't his happiest moments; but they were definitely mine #HAHAHAHAAHHA (/j.....unless)
