Intentions & The Call to Prayer "When you taste the deen, you keep on wanting more" "Give a taste of the fatihah, it's nikmat, blessings after blessings. Increase the sweetest thing in life" Khusyuk > Humility ( the quality of having a modest or low view of one's importance)  / Neediness "In spite of the prayers that we've been doing and its lacking quality, He still brings us again and again to our prayer mat, to Him, to pray" "What is beloved to him in this world, is the coolness of his eyes" Place the prayer firmly in the family They are struggling because the soul is not getting the 5 times does of light Preparations: Try praying as early as possible for every prayer during that day. Prayer in the first part, it brings the redha of Allah SWT, the middle part brings the mercy of Allah SWT, and the prayer at the end of its time brings the forgiveness of Allah SWT. The first part, the amount of time it takes to hear the azan,

 Ya Rabb,  Thank you for knocking on this little heart of mine when the lack of motivation strikes. When spirits are dampened, motivation runs low, schedule gets occupied with endless dunya affairs. As much as i struggle with handling myself, my emotions, my thoughts, and my guilt that comes together with it, i thank you Ya Rabb for always knocking on this heart of mine to remember You. To remind me to remember You, to remind me to take a break from all these worldly matters. That solah is not a form of a chore but a mindful pause to life and a mood enhancer. Sincerely,  Your struggling ummah who just wants to do better in the dunya and akhirah 

The thing about being a human is that as Muslims, our Iman changes just like the pattern of weather. The beauty of it? It allows us to see far beyond days where we are tired, exhausted and lack of willpower to communicate with him. I always have this fear, that what if one day i completely lose the willpower to believe in Him Syukur Alhamdulillah, in everything that i do, i seek His blessings. To allow me the ability to do the things i wish to pursue and to provide me ease through obstacles. On days where i am tired and can't bring myself to keep up with my daily prayers, i pause. I pause for a moment knowing that i can do this. But the devil in me sometimes overpowers me, with my laziness and lack of willpower to get up and perform my abulation I am thankful for all days, where i can sense that He believes in me still to continue to perform my prayers on days where i am busy. I count that as time for myself, me time to be exact. Me time consist of talking to him. I use

Where do you draw the line between what feels good and what is actually good for you ? Lines have become blurred with the rise of the "treat yourself" mentality and other hashtag-worthy philosophies. I'm totally guilty of subbing an hour of retail therapy, face masks and treadmill for happy hour in the name of "self-care". Both activities serve me in different ways at different moments in time. But like many things, without moderation and balance, certain habits can cause some pretty major implications Self-care is more than just - taking care of ourselves. Yes, sometimes that means ordering dessert or not leaving bed on a Sunday. But in order to holistically - through mind, body and soul - show we value ourselves, there has to be balance. And balance is challenging. It takes effort. Prioritizing our time and checking in with ourselves are the first steps. The more consciously you focus on the balance, the better you will ultimately feel. And isn't that

it has come to a point, where words can’t describe how you feel towards a person, actions come into play. i am in awe of your actions, your choices, your efforts and your dedication every single day in making me feel loved. you own that warmth in you that never fail to make me feel like i’m hone oh akid, if only you knew how badly i would want this to be a one way trip home. to continuously prove to you that i am deserving of you of your love and your time. i would want to prove to you that a love like this, isn’t just going to be temporary but to lengths where you’ll feel it in between your bones and your aching nerves. that a relationship between two souls can be gentle and kind, pure and raw, unconditional and effortless. but on days where i want to give you my all and make you feel so much, a part of me will question. am i deserving of you and do i ever deserve your efforts you have done for me. based on all the things you have done for me, no thank you no sorry can ever top of

It has always been something about the night sky that has successfully witnessed the true joy of this relationship and how it all started. I begin to love the night even more as days goes by knowing that everything was made possible when the moon is out and when the sky gets dark, how conversations flow, how presence is warm enough to be felt, and how for once the night never seemed so dull. But as days goes by, i begin to grow even more fond over how my mornings got brighter and better. The impact a person has in your life can either grow you or break you. in my case, it grows. A part of me, cracks wide open, like a newborn spirit, burning in deep coloured flames. a person, has successfully nurtured my inner well being, turning myself into a person with many fractured parts, alive I never knew a part of me existed until i met you. Over time, i've grown to love you even more than my capacity of loving a person. Why so, is because, i never knew i would be able to love a pe
