19 Ramadan
Use the last ten days like it is your last .
Most n best taqwa . Use these two words for your Deen , sabr, Adaab , akhlaaq. So try to be the best to design your heart in this month. Adorning your life with the most sunnah in your life.
Ramadan is month of Quran . Revealed in this month. Recite more . Feel more Quran , understand it. Not only more Quran on your tongue . Feel Quran more , most. How? Pick some sentences and try to understand it. Read it over again. So wen you read the Arabic , you feel it. How we are like that with Surah Fatiha , we need to familiarize ourselves with the Quran .
Look few verses before and after a specific vs , so wen you read it , you feel it. Then you use it in your salaah. Get new passages for your salaah. Once you read n understand it n read it in salaah, you will enjoy this new recitation.
Try to see in your recitation, how much you can read. How far you go, before you start getting enjoyment from the recitation . How long can I read Quran or salaah for ? Try in these ten nights to see .
Sahabah used to recite particular verses in sadness , joy etc . Whatt do you plan for thetuhajjud of the odd nites? How many Rakaat? Which Surah? Etc. no answer ?
What about your fav clothing ? So increase your connection with the Quran !
Take names of Allah! Asma Ul Husna . Call upon Allah , cry out to Allah using the names ! Learn the names ! Wat about Rahman n Raheem . Do you know the meanings ? About the sifaat of Allah. Gaffar and gafoor. When your happy, which name of Allah do you call upon?
Learn , feel , explore ! Esp in this month.
Allah rolls the wave of his mercy upon his believers on these last ten nites. U feel the most of the coming wave in Rajab n Shaban
In anticipation of the wave of Ramadan. U have to get into the zone . It's not just about getting hungry . It's about wanting never to disobey , it's about wanting allahs loving gaze . True lover of Allah. Always intending to obey Allah . Ask Allah to let these feeling to continue . How? Get taqwa in this month.in your heart, then Allah will grant u this loving gaze out of Ramadan.
If in front of family men , u cover your face ,
( wat will make Allah love me more? ) if u do not hide the beauty of your face , u leave the door open for non family men to cast a gaze of longing at her .if she covers up, Allah will cast his gaze at her , subhannallah.
Do your best, do your most! To attain the taqwa ! Control anger, have sabr, remove envy n jealousy so allahs gaze can fall lovingly on your heart . Wen u become mutaqqi , then u feel allahs loving gaze on you.
Fasting 12 hours a day, is like doing 12 hours of Ibadah. That's y we feel more in Ramadan . Allah is showing us how it feels to be zaakireen . (One who remembers Allah )
We don't feel as close and don't make dua soo sincerely sometimes out of Ramadan.
Regret over Deen , not dunya . It motivates u to do good . Don't waste tym on haram n futile activities .
Then u will start wanting future for aakhirah . For sun nah , for more Quran , for Tuhujjud out of Ramadan. For jannah .
Relationships with zikr.
Best n most zikr . Become a zaakirah, a waliyah , u have the potential .
Ramadan is not just month of fasting but it is a month of Wilayah. Allah wants us to become auliya of Allah. This should be your mission! For the auliya, no fear in them ever not do they feel any sorrow !(sins are forgiven , so fear, Shaytaan , theirs nafs can't sway them so they have no regret)
Zikr means to forget the dunya and remember Allah !
Dunya means ghairullah . Anything other than Allah at all . So practice this type of prayer in Ramadan . Start this in these days. Try to forget the dunya in your salaah. Understand the Deen. Y we pray 5 times a day? allah wants us to disconnect from dunya 5 times a day, so u can forget everything except Allah . ( don't let your wealth , don't let your children distract u from the remembrance of Allah ) . Anyone who lets the bounties that Allah blessed us with , to forget Allah, Allah says they will be from the losers . Concept of life is opportunity to remember Allah properly .
Salaah supposed to detactch the heart from dunya .
Fast from Ghaflah. I want to always remember Allah for 24. Hours . Allah described them as zaakirat.
Fanaah ( make zikr of the name of your rabb, n focus on that name soo much that u forget everything else) worse case heart, zero percent focus on Allah , u fasted , u stayed away from sin, so now heart starts getting more attached to Allah. So connection with dunya becomes lesser . How ? Though your fasting , Ibadah . Extra effort needs to be made . One hundred percent attached to allahs rememberance and zero to this world .
Wat was rasool saw doing in mountain in cave . He wanted to seclude himself from the dunya . Surah kahf( they tried to remember Allah in a community Secretly. So then they climbed the mountain n went into the cave .)
Limited period for us is last ten days . Rasool saw went into seclusion inside the masjid . He could feel the Incredible mercy of allah that descends in this month. Fanaah is a temp training period . Then the next process is called baqa , where u reconnect with your role in dunya , but u keep the rememberance of Allah even while u are engaged in the world . Engaged fillah , lillah !
Rasool saw was in baqaa all the tym.
Try to get fanaah in this month n then strive for baqaa out of Ramadan. Wish for these , dream for these . Goal for u, aim for this .
Who gets guidance of Allah , those who have a heart.
Wen u make zikr , your heart is ready for the recitation of the Quran . Combine both in these last days of Ramadan . Don't let these feelings leave us after Ramadan .
1. Make Taubah from our over eating , lack of compassion , etc not just from sin .
2. Tazkiya . Do tazkiya of sahaabah . Sahaabah continued these teachings , continuing for generation to generation . The feelings of Quran is always transferred from teacher to student .
Make the niyyah to join this training . Sun nah methods of purification .
Zikr through which we can erase the Ghaflah . Every day make tilawat of Quran .
100 times istigfaar
100 times durood daily.express from the heart.
In your heart always remember Allah n his names n have feeling for him, feel that Allah is close to u . Allah can see u , hear u etc.
Nothing can distract me from there feelings .
Muraaqabah : every day for few minutes , take some tym , make the intention to remember Allah . Close eyes so u can't see the world . Close your mind from yourself n connect to Allah . Forget everything except Allah . How do u remember Allah. Make zikr of 'Allah ' with heart . As if qalb is calling name of Allah .
Just make niyyah now that u want to be lover of Allah , zaakirat,
Bay ah . To express nothing more that commitment that I want to follow sun nah , to learn tazkiya . Taking someone as a guide , hoping that your heart becomes filled with complete rem of Allah.
