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.

Our first and true home was Paradise: a land that is both perfect and eternal. So the yearning for that type of life is a part of our being. The problem is that we try to find that here. And so we create ageless creams and cosmetic surgery in a desperate attempt to hold on-in an attempt to mold this world into what it is not, and will never be.

I loved. I lost. So I learned to love what is never lost. Then even what I loved that can be lost was through what cannot be lost...so it was never lost.

The body that we tend to is only temporary, while the soul that we neglect is #‎ eternal .

Salah is the first thing we will be asked about on the Day of Judgment, and yet it is the last thing that is on our mind.

You put your head on the ground, and in that moment everything was okay.

Its shocking how many people believe hardships are a punishment from God! Every hardship is good for you-if it brings you closer to Him!
