⚘️It' Friday again. May Allah swt bless and give us goodness in this world and in the hereafter, and grant us Jannathul Firdous.🤲 On the day of Judgement the Prophet will lodge the following complaint. "Then the Messenger will say: "O my Lord! Truly my people took this Qur'an for just foolish nonsense." May Allah swt protect us from this and enable us to read, understand and follow the Quran only. Today, we will discuss two ways to attract clarity our lives. The First way In 33:43 " He is the One who prays upon you, along with His angels, to bring you out of darkness and into the light. And He is ever Merciful towards the believers" This will happen when we - praise Him(Allah swt) morning and evening ÙˆَسَبِّØُوهُ بُÙƒْرَØ©ً ÙˆَØ£َصِيلًا Secondly, In 33: 56 "God and His angels prays upon the prophet. O you who believe, you shall pray upon him, and comply completely." Here, we are encouraged to pray upon the Prophet as God and His an
Now you are ready for the prayer. In our everyday life we focus on so many things. But only in prayer Allah swt gives you a break from all the troubles and problems by making your time to remember Him alone. But instead of remembering Allah swt, the performers of prayers mostly remember their matters about the world. This is where the basis of contradiction will arise. Do not be a selfish performer of prayer. Give your time to Allah swt.
Why I say contradictions? On one hand we belief in Allah swt but on the other hand we do not ask Allah swt to make the belief stronger. We think that we are going to perform the prayer. But we have forgotten that we are just an instrument of Allah swt. Now in this blog you may have learned some skill in your spiritual pursuit.
Sometimes I wonder why I am writing this blog. It gives me nothing but taking so much of my sleep time. The reason is this - I love to write about Islam. Is that love self imposed? I do not think so. The passion in me is planted by my Creator Allah swt.
Do not fear this world. But be fearful of the next world. That will be a better decision of the intelligent believer. Prayer is a skill that can be learned. But the first step to master the skill is to learn to ask.
Ask Allah swt to make your prayer a perfect one in His sight. I am not saying that you recite some Arabic ritualistic recitation – but what I am saying is to bring out your true intention of entering the prayer by asking Allah swt to help you.
Basically prayer or salat is to remember Allah swt. So when entering prayer do not forget to ask Allah swt to make you remember Him 100 percent. You can just say it in your heart as Allah knows what your heart says.
“Ya Allah give me the best remembrance about You”
“ Ya Allah make my prayer the coolness of my eyes”
“ Ya Allah make my heart filled with Your remembrance”
By the way you can ask Allah swt in any language but ask in silence in your heart. By doing this you are not going against to the held procedures of prayer defined by the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad saws.
God will not call you to account for your casual oaths, but He will call you to account for what has entered your hearts. God is Forgiving, Compassionate 2:225
In many verses of the Al Quran Allah swt has mentioned about our hearts. So ask Allah swt with your heart.
