The Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) encourages optimism and the use of positive, hopeful language. He mentions that saying optimistic words like 'I can', 'I will succeed', or 'I will be forgiven' can be beneficial, as they align with the belief that Allah’s mercy is vast and that positive words could be a form of prayer that is answered.

In Islam, negative speech, such as saying 'I regret marrying you' or 'I regret having you as a child', can have harmful effects, as it could potentially become a form of bad prayer or curse. These words can be unintentionally 'amened' by angels and manifest into reality, damaging relationships and even the speaker's own life.

What is the Islamic perspective on bad luck or 'sial'?

Islam rejects the concept of bad luck ('sial'). There is no such thing as a day, place, or event being inherently unlucky. Everything in life is part of Allah’s plan, and there is no room for superstition. For example, the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) explained that there is no such thing as misfortune that comes from specific places or times.

What does the Quran and Hadith say about forgiveness and returning to Allah?

The Quran and Hadith stress the importance of repentance (Tawbah). No matter how great the sins committed, Allah's mercy is greater, and anyone who sincerely returns to Him in repentance will be forgiven. Even in the face of repeated mistakes, a person’s sincerity in returning to Allah is key to receiving forgiveness.

What does the concept of 'Alfa'al' (optimism) mean in Islam?

'Alfa’al' refers to optimism in Islam, which involves speaking hopeful and positive words, trusting in Allah’s mercy and goodness. This attitude is encouraged by the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) as a form of good prayer. Optimism is seen as a form of supplication and a good belief in Allah’s plan for one’s life.

How does Islam view the relationship between good and bad words?

What does Islam teach about illness and recovery?

What is the Islamic stance on the importance of intention (niyyah) in actions?

In Islam, intention (niyyah) plays a vital role in the reward and success of actions.

For example, intending to perform a good deed like praying or giving charity is rewarded, even if external factors prevent it from happening.

How does Islam view the concept of fate and the relationship between human effort and divine will?

Islam teaches that both human effort and divine will play essential roles in a person’s life.

Optimism is vital, as a person is encouraged to keep trying and have faith in Allah’s plan, regardless of challenges.

What does Islam say about the pursuit of worldly success and material wealth?

Islam encourages the pursuit of worldly success and material wealth, provided it is achieved through lawful (halal) means.
