How to Forgive Yourself and Move on

By emmysgreetings, eHow Member

First off, it doesn't matter what kind of life you came from or how you were raised, we all as humans make mistakes that sometimes haunt us. Some of us are more open about our past and some of us are not. However; many of us have a hard time forgiving ourselves for our past mistakes and this keeps us from moving on emotionally and sometimes physically. In order to forgive yourself for your past mistakes and move on you must quit pushing those feelings away and face reality.

Instructions

  1.  
    The first step to forgiving yourself is to face reality. Take responsibility for your actions and quit making excuses for them.
  2.  
    Second off; ask yourself what you have done to change your ways and prevent those mistakes from reoccurring? If you fear that you may make the same mistakes in the future, you will have a harder time moving on. In this case, you will be more likely to become numb over time and this can cause many problems in your life, such as drug or alcohol abuse or relationship troubles. So, just remember to face your past and choose to make changes that will keep you from making the same mistakes in your future.
  3.  
    Lastly, try praying about your feelings and ask God to show you the way to move on. If you take the time to not only reflect on your past, but to pray to God and ask for his guidance, you will find it much easier to forgive yourself and move on.

Well another week has arrived and off I go to work.  So much has changed in the surrounding world yet here I go to my Job as usual not much changing there.  What is always strange about this life is that no matter how much it seems things change, things pretty much stay the same. (I do believe someone already said that:))

Well that is another point, can anyone truly come up with an idea or saying that has not been said or done before? There is not anything new under the sun and this I can bear witness to, when you live as long as I have, you testify to these facts that manifest in your own life. To say that this life is short is such an understatement, I can actually remember the smell in the air on my 16th birthday which seemed like yesterday, yet it was soooo long ago, don't want to tell my age here ;))

These things made self evident only strengthens my belief in an afterlife and solidifies my commitment to follow the message sent by God.  It seems pretty obvious that what is written in the Quran is from the Lord of the Universe, it's the only thing that makes since out of what is a senseless existance.

I bear wittness that there is but one God who calls himself Allah and I bear wittness that his last messenger after a long list of men that were sent to mankind to guide to the way back to God, was Prophet Muhammad (saws) from the Quraish tribe of Arabia.

Islamic Medicine and Health Care

Historical and contemporary views

by Ahmad F. Yousif

In contrast to modern Western civilization, the classical Islamic tradition does not separate science from religion. Accordingly, one finds that both the Qur'an and the traditions of the prophet Muhammad are saturated with references to learning, education, observation, and the use of reason in all realms of life—medicine and health care included.
Islam teaches individuals and societies how to live a physically, mentally, and morally upright life. The Islamic legal system, derived from the Qur'an and sunnah (traditions of the Prophet), aims at creating a healthy environment that will have a positive effect on an individual's physical, mental, and spiritual development.
