I do not feel the ‘connection’ anymore, here’s what you can do.

It never gets default, a habit, you are never ‘habitually’ a practising Muslim. One day or other it is great, you are able to perform all the Faraidh and most of the Sunnahs very lovingly and effectively. But then comes the test part, other priorities kick in, point of focus changes either because of a certain distraction or any certain event takes your attention and you just lose it, you do not feel the same way towards your prayers and reciting Quraan, you don’t feel the same willingness and ‘khushoo’ (delightfulness). Allah says is Surah Muhammad, Ayah no. 31:

And We will surely test you until We make evident those who strive among you [for the cause of Allah ] and the patient, and We will test your affairs

And we will surely test you until We make evident those who strive among you [for the cause of Allah ] and the patient, and We will test your affairs.”

Al Qur’an [47:31]

The point I want to make here is, it is okay, it is completely normal to feel this up and down in your Iman (faith) from time to time. And this is what makes it a lifetime pursuit.

There is only one thing to never forget in this lifelong journey. Never think that ALLAH loves you less, ALLAH forgot you or HE doesn’t care about you, you or your efforts and your incompetent virtues are insignificant in HIS eyes. Never underestimate HIS mercy neither ever underestimate his greatness.

Arabic narration: عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ كُلُّ ابْنِ آدَمَ خَطَّاءٌ وَخَيْرُ الْخَطَّائِينَ التَّوَّابُونَ

Translation Anas ibn Malik reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said,

All of the children of Adam are sinners, and the best sinners are those who repent.”

Sunan Ibn Mājah 4250

Kneel down, cry, ask forgiveness the very moment you remember any of your past mistakes or sins or any sinful plans, without wasting a single blink of an eye, without letting one more breath you take.

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said,

Allah is more joyful with the repentance of his servant than one of you who has lost his camel on a journey in an empty desert while it carries his food and drink.

Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 5950, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2747

May Allah always keep us on right path and never let us go astray for even a single moment. Amen.

Nature-system and Spouses

Do you ever wonder about the nature-system, and do tadabbur (keenly observe) about:

🍀

How God put everything and every person in the most perfect position, He defined for each of them the most perfect responsibilities, which btw if followed and obeyed as is, leads to a perfect society.

🍀

Like a simple relation of husband and wife.

🍀

The man is made the Qawwam (like stated in Quran) here, meaning he is responsible to fulfil all the needs of his wife and children and by all I mean literally all!

🍀

On the other hand the woman is simply not designed/created to work 9 to 5, rather she has given the wisdom and mind to protect his man’s house and children and train her children so well that this beautiful chain and proper set of responsibilities go on to the later generations.

🍀

This theory might sound obsolete or out-dated to most of the people especially the women who are working and especially the ones who are working as well as watching their houses.

🍀

Islam never forbade a women to work, but to be honest tell me what provides more protection, care and royalty to the Women?

🍀

Working for a total someone-else those 8 hours crushing your bones neglecting your health and benefiting someone else’s business with your skills

🍀

Or rather staying home where you don’t have to deal with those stranger’s looks (which actually sucks), stay in cared, protected, respectful environment working to shape futures of your own children, working for people whom you love most need most and loved by most (your husband and children).

🍀

If a woman accepts the responsibilities she is given and let go the extra burden she would realise that,

🍀

Islam literally requires the man to treat her woman like a Queen, nothing less. Period.

Teensy, Naughty Luck

You will often find yourself coming across a dilemma, a confusion or may be an excess of opportunities. Each path looks good, now the question isn’t if to choose good or bad, but to identify which is better. Here kicks in your power of foreseeing, how better you can foresee the impacts caused of either of the decisions made. But suddenly a teensy, naughty buddy strikes in known as ‘luck’, and it is the point where all your predictions go surprisingly right or terribly wrong.
