To Bring Us To That End

A wise reminder from an awesome friend :)

The Opener:5

It is You we worship and You we ask for help.


"Ya Allah I don't want to do what I want to do anymore. I want to do what You want me to do. Because what You want me to do is better for me than what I want to do for myself. Because You are my caretaker, You love me more than I can imagine and Your love is coming all the time. Ya Allah You have been so good to me I surrender to You, I sign up."

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.

The Heart: Ownership versus Companionship

May Allah guide us along the way. Ameen.

Confuse

Life gets a little crazy at times.
I used to feel that everything was right in track.
Too bad that feeling didn't last long.
Suddenly things fell apart.
Time to decide which way to go.
What to be gathered.
And what to be left behind.
Confuse.

In this situation,

Allah Cures The Heart

A mukmin
A believer
Their concern every single day is on how to please Allah
They sleep the best sleep
They wake up the best
They eat the best
Their heart is the best
Their comfort is the best

When you please Allah,
Allah puts happiness in your heart
Allah makes you content
Allah brings you satisfaction
Allah will make you from amongst those who are happy
Allah will relief your stress
Allah will take away your depression
Allah will make you concern at matters that are worthy to be concerned

Our only way of happiness is to please Allah

Turn to Allah and Allah will turn to you
Be with Allah and Allah will be with you
Rely on Allah and Allah will give you everything.

Real Love

Searching for real love is hard.
Found.
Maintaining real love is even harder.
Struggling.
The only reason is to be in real love forever.
To die with true love in the whole heart, body and soul.
So we struggle.
Happily struggling.
It's awesome, when whatever is to be done for The True Lover.

#Pray hard.
May Allah bless our life in this world and in the hereafter.
Guide us along the way.
With His blessing  and love, grant us His jannah.
Ameen.

Khusyuk

Let's have this habit in us:

#Focus on Allah outside our solah so that it's easier for us to focus on Him inside our solah. Talk to him, make constant dua to Him and build a personal relationship with Him.

InnsyaaAllah. Ameen.

I love You so

I pray to God
My heart, soul and body
Every single day of my life
With every breath I solemnly promise
To try to live my life for You

O Allah, You did revive my soul
And shone Your light into my heart
So pleasing You is now my only goal
Oh I love You so
I love You so

Now I know how it's like
To have a precious love in my life
Now I know how it feels
To finally be at peace inside

I wish that everybody knew
How amazing it feels to love You
I wish that everyone could see
How Your love has set me free
Set me free and made me strong

O Allah, I'm forever grateful to You
Whatever I say could never be enough
You gave me strength to overcome my uncertainties
And stand firm against all the odds

You are the one who did revive my soul
You shone Your light into my heart
So pleasing You is now my only goal
Oh I love You so
I love You so

My love, my life, my days, my nights,my wealth, my prayers-all for You
And I swear that I will never put anyone or anything before You
My love, my life, my days, my nights, my wealth, my prayers-all for You

#innsyaaAllah. Ameen.

Sincere

Sincerity
Known by many
Understood by some
Practiced by few
A sincere heart
Like a glass
Clearly seen
Unhidden intention
Obvious
A heart of sincerity
Worry of what the Master think
Care not of what the slaves say
For a sincere heart
Sincerely knows whom to please
Always remember of the One
And at peace

"Be somebody in the eyes of Allah even if you are nobody in the eyes of people"
