Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

All Thanks be to Allah (ﷻ) for the endless gifts He Bestows upon us.

Not everyone will wake up from sleep, return safely to the comfort of home from work or school, are able to eat, walk or have good health and wealth.

What we take for granted as ordinary in everyday life, are in fact priceless gifts of life.

Every breath is a precious gift.

Certain gifts, Allah (ﷻ) in His Wisdom, keeps hidden in worship, exclusively, for true believers to enjoy.

The chosen few who delight in the exquisite sweetness of worship, are truly blessed.

Acts of i’badah, like fasting and prayer, are in reality, invitations to physical and spiritual salvation, for this world and the hereafter.

Allah Almighty does not need our worshipping. Glorified be He (ﷻ).

His (ﷻ) invitation to prayer calls us to come and stand in His (ﷻ) Presence, to be honoured and dressed with all we need to reach to true happiness and safety.


Our Holy Prophet (ﷺ) says in a Hadith,

“The position of solat (prayer) with respect to all worshipping, is like the position of the head, in a human being.”

Leaving solat is likened to losing one’s head, hence losing precious life itself.

Make time for real life.

Build the day around prayer and build prayer upon cleanliness.

As advised and practiced by our Shuyukh, be ‘prayer-ready’ by being in wudhu (ablution) at all times and hasten to prayer, when the time arrives.

Allah (ﷻ) presents a banquet of all we would love - help, protection, relief, sustenance, wisdom, and more, at every time of prayer.

‘Help from Allah and a near victory.’

ﻭَﺃُﺧْﺮَﻯ ﺗُﺤِﺒُّﻮﻧَﻬَﺎ ﻧَﺼْﺮٌ ﻣِّﻦ ﺍﻟﻠَّﻪِ ﻭَﻓَﺘْﺢٌ ﻗَﺮِﻳﺐٌ ﻭَﺑَﺸِّﺮِ ﺍﻟْﻤُﺆْﻣِﻨِﻴﻦَ

Wa u’khraa tuhibbuu nahaa, nasrun min Allahi, wa fat'hun qareebun wa bashiril mu’mineen

"And also (He will give you) another (blessing) which you love, Help from Allah, and a near victory. And give glad tidings to the believers"

(Quran Surah Saaf : Verse 13)

May we be more pleasing to Allah (ﷻ) with each passing day and may we be blessed to be beacons of the guiding Light of Muhammad (ﷻ), to the small circle of people around us.
