Well islam is special because it asks you to follow one God, very simple way that you dont need any1 else in between. It is special because it brought a book which is not been proven wrong even after 1400 years instead each new finding shows its originality from a divine being. It is special because it gave a history of true impliance resulting in one of the most successful and greatest societies.

Now finding a job or being successful in any thing is a different matter. If you are a good muslim you know your duties toward your Lord and towards people. So you be fair in your dealing resulting in a peace of mind and most probably peaceful life. Now some times good people live a hard life, reason behind this is been told in so many places in Holy Quran, 'Alif Lam Mim. Do men think that they will be left alone on saying, We believe, and not be tried? And certainly We tried those before them, so Allah will certainly know those who are true and He will certainly know the liars'. (29:1-3) Being good and upright is easier than doing same in hardship so Allah swt tries His servants.

Another reason could be our collective efforts, we muslims are not what we should be except very few blessed ones. So Allah swt has put us in a state where we need to realize the wrong done by majority of us and change it. If we are good muslims, Allah swt blesses us with goodness of this world and the next but if we stray away then its destruction in both.

So what are you trying to say brother????????

"Please tell me of the things in your personal life that make you know you are on the right path. I would like to read your words, close my eyes, and put myself in your place and experience the beauty you see."

This is what brother ginghis requested. And we are replying accordingly.

Please don't spoil this thread!
Wassalaam.
Allah is Sufficient as a Walee (Protector) and Allah is Sufficient as a Naseer (Helper).

What a nice and beautiful thread this one is. the participants sound so honest and sincere. Its assuring that Muslims quickly respond to do the best they can inorder to explain Islam for non muslims. One thing, though, i notice that almost all the responses are talking about personal experiences and feelings about islam and what islam does for an individual. Also the resposes are all emotional or sentimental. and these emotions, i think, are also experienced by followers of other faiths as well. I've had friendships with many non-muslims; budhists, christians, and hindus, and they have similar experiences such as the ones revealed here. they So what is it then that makes Islam so special, or more special?

and if we talk about finances, and economic well being, or ease of finding a good job or finding any job, then we can surely see that non-muslims are doing much better in those areas than muslims, dont you agree?

Insha'allah,

I have put myself

in your place.

Sajdah,

in the firm, smiling

hand of Allah.

Wretch that I am

is comforted,

by his word.

Unfailing in its truth

and the light

I could not see

Until I had given

all of me.

Yes they are intangible, and if some one has not experienced a like "feeling" a lot of this beauty is lost to them, but for those who have felt and experienced, we can share and understand and sometime never have to speak a word.

Bismillah irrahman irrahim

Assalamu alaikum

Alhamdulillah i employed my deen in my work too. I am not sure whether you heard of the phrase, halal earning or not but it means working for every penny. I always work to my best capacity, whether the supervisors are there are not because at the end of the day i am answerable to Allah swt. So after my first job i only had to send my CV at a place and alhamdulillah my references are so good that i get the job.

Another place where i have seen change is in relationship with people. Islam tells us to like for others what you like for yourself, forgive others if you want Allah swt to forgive you and if you want Allah swt to be your best mate, be best of mate of your friends. I think life gets much easier and very beautiful mashaAllah.
