How sincere are we to Allah?
Early morning we wake up.
To the toilet we go, wash up our face and take wuduk.
Pray Subuh.
Sit on the prayer mat.
Read His love letter.
Zikr.
Tasty breakfast.
Two rakaah of Dhuha prayer.
Go to work.
Driving a smart little car.
Listening to songs.
Beautiful scenery along the way.
Work.
Pray Zuhr.
Eat.
Work a little bit more.
Go back.
Everyone is rushing.
To see their family at home.
Pray Asr and get ready for dinner.
Eat.
Pray Maghrib.
The time between Maghrib and Isyak.
Hmm what to do?
Pray Isyak.
Another chapter of His love letter.
Al Mulk. The first ten ayah of Al Kahfi.
Scroll facebook, instagram, twitter etc.
Reply to unreplied comments.
Sleep.
Pause.
Reflect.
Along the way,
How sincere are we to Allah?
How frequent do we think whether our act will be seen by Him as a good deeds or just another trash?
How much are we scared of unaccepted deeds?
Do we forget our ultimate purpose?
Who do we seek to please?
#deep
Ikhlas.
It's awesome and it's difficult.
May Allah grant us sincerity in our every single movement. May our deeds being presented to Allah in the most beautiful way.
Few tips shared by Abdul Rahman Chao in http://www.muslimlinkpaper.com:
1. Sincere Supplication
Guidance is in the hands of Allah only. Whomsoever Allah guides will never go astray. The hearts of believers are in hands of Allah. He controls it fully. Why not directly ask the one who controls your heart to make you sincere in all of your actions?
2.Doing Actions Privately
Actions that are done privately are more likely to be sincere. With people around, it is very difficult to be sincere. The believing servant of Allah should always try to hide his good deeds as well as sins from the eyes and ears of people.
3.Reflecting on the Actions of the Righteous
Do not look at the people around you for inspiration. Look to the people of the past from the pious predecessors. Reading the biographies of the companions of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) and stories of the righteous will increase one’s sincerity for Allah.
4.Fearing Allah’s Rejection of Your Actions
Belittling one’s good deeds will lead to perseverance and self struggle in sincerity. Preservation here means that one should not be proud and be in admiration of ones good deeds. Believing that one’s actions might be rejected by Allah will remind oneself to struggle even harder next time in assuring pure unadulterated sincerity.
5.Ignoring What People Say
One of the biggest trials to sincerity is when the heart leaps with joy when it hears the praise of other people. People will always praise the righteous and condemn the evildoer. Ignore praise and fear from evil sins. Ibn Jawzi said: "Leave what people say and erase one’s honor from their hearts through good deeds and sincerity and concealment of oneself is what raised the elevated people." The erasing of one’s honor from people heart means to not heed to how people might honor you. Although one should always strive to be loved by all, it is dangerous to think that the honor people have for you will do you any good in getting your actions accepted by Allah.
May Allah guide us along the way.

Tips of Being Awesome #3
Assalamualaikum!
Ok here's the next tips.
Tips of Being Awesome #3: Control our focus
We tend to get easily distracted with something that we think is important but is not. Take a moment and recall back, in a day what is the thing that occupy our mind the most. Is it really important? It's an individual decision.
Here let's talk as a Muslim. As a Muslim, our priority is only one. Allah. His blessings, His forgiveness, His love. These are the most important thing in a Muslim's life. We know that this world is just a station before we reach our final destination, and for us to arrive at our final destination successfully, we need Allah's forgiveness, blessings and love. Yeah we do.
Unfortunately, the mind does not revolve around this matter frequent enough. If we like a guy or a girl, we tend to think about them almost every minute. What is he doing? Will I meet her today? Does he like me? What does she think of me? Or, if we are very obsessed with a movie or a game, we just could not stop thinking about it. Well, I think this is not awesome.
Let's control our focus and aim only for Allah.
Hey that does not mean we should not think of our family, career, work, future etc. We have to think about it but in a different way. Connect them all to Allah. Find a reason to gain Allah's blessings in all these aspects. Do the best in each one. Focus.
May Allah helps us to purify our mind.
Innsyaa Allah.

Tips of Being Awesome #2
Assalamualaikum!
Yes let's continue with the next tips of being awesome!
Tips of Being Awesome #2: Always be patient, keep your cool.
To be really patient is not easy, but never is impossible.
All we need is practice.
Whenever you feel really angry, just take a deep breath and let it go. Remind yourself of the rewards that you will earn by being patient, remind yourself that you are more than that, remind yourself that you are awesome.
The real patience is at the first moment of anger, not after we have exploded. Keep on practicing this habit until you feel perfectly calm at the first moment of anger.
We tend to be easily angry towards family members compared to the outsiders. It's very common.
The prophet said, "The best among you is the best to their family, and I am the best one to my family." [An authentic hadith reported by Imams At-Tirmithi, Ibn Hibban, and Ibn Majah]
We should start being patience with our family members first. When your mother nag, be patient. When your younger brother break your stuffs, be patient. When your sister finish up your favourite cookies, be patient.
It's not easy yes I know.
But practice make perfect, peeps!
Oh another thing is, by not scolding people we'll save up a lot of energy. And that energy can definitely be used for the solution of the problem that is causing our anger.
Let's practice this to be an awesome muslim!
May Allah ease, ameen.
