So often it hurts us that we are not able to focus in our prayers. Remember, the more you focus on Allah outside your salah, the easier it will be to focus on Him inside your salah. What occupies you in salah, is what occupies you outside of salah. Try to fill your mind and heart with Allah as much as you can throughout your day. Talk to Him, make duaa to Him constantly. This will build your personal relationship with Him. Then, going to salah will be like coming home to an old friend.

Sometimes this world comes between us and what we love. But if we are patient, when this world passes away, there will be no more separation.

Oh my heart, there is another way to love. Do not love the gift for what the gift is. Love the gift for Who it came from.

If you're having trouble waking up for fajr, set your alarm to play Quran. It works!

We will be asked, "what did you love most in this world? What did you spend life doing? What did you run after? Will it last? The things that you chased, will they last? Will they help you, or will they hurt you when the illusion of this life has passed?"

Just as storms change the landscape of the earth, our hardships change the landscape of the heart.

My laughter won't last forever but neither will my tears. We say this life isn't perfect. And it isn't. It isn't perfectly good. But, it also isn't perfectly bad, either.
