Self Love 💚

 

“Self-love is an ocean and your heart is a vessel. Make it full, and any excess will spill over into the lives of the people you hold dear. But you must come first.” - Beau Taplin

Here are some ways to practice self-love in Islam:

💚 Be honest with yourself: Be honest about your feelings and what you can handle. Don't beat yourself up when things go wrong, but instead reflect on what you can improve. 

💚 Respect yourself: Respect yourself for who you are, despite your faults and shortcomings. 

💚 Trust in Allah: Trust in Allah and rely on him. This can lead to more self-confidence. 

💚 Practice zikir: Zikir is a practice of remembering Allah through prayer and expressions of gratitude. This can help you feel more peaceful and at ease. 

💚 Make time for self-care: Take time for quiet meditation or reflection to bring you closer to Allah. 

💚 Recognize internal beauty: Beauty is more than just physical appearance. It's about your character and attitude.

Nine Tips to Stay Khushu' During Solah

REMINDER 

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

Concentration In Solah Is A Pillar To Perfect Our Solah.

1. Before standing up for Prayer, try to deal with all the minor urgent matters that demand your attention. If you are pressed by hunger, eat first; if you are pressed to attend to the call of nature, relieve yourself first; if you are the parent of an infant, feed him or her, or keep him or her busy so the child will not distract you.  

2. Perform your wudhu’ (ablution) well, paying due care and attention, stop talking while performing ablution. 

3. Approach the Prayer with zest and passion as if it is the last prayer in your life before dying, it could very be as none of us is given a guarantee of being alive till the next solah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught us that we could do nothing in this world that could ever surpass Prayer in merit and excellence.  

4. Visualize that in your Prayer you are going to have a special audience with ALLAH, Lord of the worlds, and that you are enjoying a direct communion with HIM, which is very true.  

5. Picture the scene of the Last Day when people will be lined up into two groups, one destined for Heaven, and another for Hell, and ask yourself where you would be placed. 

6. Focus your mind on what you are reading in your Prayer and recite simple surahs that you understand their meaning and ponder on the meaning while you recite.  

7. If, despite your best efforts, your mind is still wandering, seek refuge in ALLAH 

8. Pray to ALLAH and beg HIM to grant you true the joy of concentrating on your Prayer and protection against the wanderings of your mind. 

9. Place your eyesight to the one spot where you will be making your sujud while you recite and avoid taking your eyes from that sport. Remember always that you are standing in front of ALLAH the Mighty offering such solah hoping for HIM to accept from you. 

With the above, insyaAllah we can defeat shaiton in offering our solah properly. May ALLAH (Al-Muhaimin, The Protector) protect us from the tricks of shaiton during prayers and forgive us our mistakes. Aameen Ya Mujeeb
