سبحانك ربي

Sit down and reflect of your shortcomings, where you want to improve, the type of Muslim you want to be and use Ramadan to start the process of becoming this person, know that Allah will help you and that it is only He who can help us and guide us.

Ka'b ibn Mālik رضي الله عنه said,

"Whoever fasts the month of Ramadhān and he says to himself that he will return to sinful disobedience when Ramadhān is over, his fasting is rejected.

Dear Allah,

I pray for my future husband. I pray for his heart. May you continue to mature him and reveal yourself to him in mighty ways. I pray that he would love you passionately. May you and him have an incredibly deep relationship. I pray he is willing to open his heart to you. I pray he comes to you in prayer and is vulnerable about the things he is facing in his life. I pray he relies on you for help and guidance. Fill him with your wisdom. I pray a blessing over his heart. I also pray for protection. Please remove any temptation or evil that is attempting to make him fall, get hurt, or turn from you. Guard his heart and cover him with your peace. If there are any situations or circumstances that cause him pain, I pray that you would heal him. Make his heart whole. I pray my future husband would have a strong understanding of who you are and how you are moving in his life. I pray his heart is full of discernment and is sensitive to your holy spirit. I pray he is willing to address his emotions and doesn't push them away. Soften his heart so that he is always willing to yield to you in humbleness. I also pray that he would embrace all that you have for him and that he is passionate to serve you joyfully. May you continue to experience intimacy with him. I pray he loves you with all of his heart, all of his soul, all of his mind and all of his strength. May you unite us in the best way and make each other a way of getting closer to you.

First: Recite the Qur’an with reflection, and understand its meaning and what is intended by it.

Second: Draw closer to Allah by performing the supererogatory acts of worship after fulfilling the obligatory acts of worship.

Third: Constantly remember Allah in every situation, with the tongue, the heart and the actions.

Fourth: Give preference to what Allah loves over what you love when being overcome by desires.

Fifth: Contemplate the beautiful names and attributes of Allah with the heart, and roam in the gardens of this knowledge and its fundamental concepts. The one who knows Allah, will inevitably love Him.

Sixth: Observe and recognize His kindness, benevolence, favors, and blessings, those that are hidden and those that are apparant.

Seventh: Completely submit your heart in front of Allah the Exalted.

Eighth: Seclude yourself during the time of the Divine Descent and turn to your Lord, and recite His Speech. Contemplate with the heart and adorn yourself with the manners of a worshipper in front of Him, and conclude all of this by seeking forgiveness and repenting.

Ninth: Accompany those who truly, sincerely love Him. Collect the best fruits of their speech just as one would pick only the best fruits. Remain silent except when you know it will better your condition and benefit others.

Tenth: Stay far away from everything that will come between your heart and Allah the Exalted.

‎“An evil deed committed in Ramadan is a greater sin than an evil deed committed outside it.”

"We are a people who Allah has honoured with Islam. And whenever we seek to be honoured through other than it, Allah will bring us humiliation."

أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِمَا يُذْهِبُ وَحَرَ الصَّدْرِ صَوْمُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ

Shall I tell you about what will rid the heart of impurities? Fasting three days of every month.

يا روحي ‎Fulfill the promise of your Lord ‎Drop laziness and work for His sake

‎Our heroes have surpassed us

‎To a Jannah, whose width like the heavens and the earth

‎For how long will we stay behind ‎And suffer with regret

I am terrified of them.

It's an affirmation that they don't love and respect you enough to look away.

That they don't care that Allah is watching them.

When the eyes are not loyal, how can the heart be?

O Allah, grant me a husband who will respect me, a husband who will honor me with his whole being.

Grant me a husband who fears You as if he is seeing You and who lives for You until he meets You.

“No servant is complete until he places Allah before his desires.”

"Seeking forgiveness is the greatest hasanat and its field is so extensive, whoever finds that he has shortcomings in his ibadah, sayings or actions, or that his sustainance has decreased or that his heart is unsettled, then let him make istighfar"
