Assalamu alaikum.
If you're new here, welcome to our series “Dhul Hijjah Strong”
May Allah subhanahu wa t'ala make this beneficial for you.
In the last newsletter, there was a journal prompt. Did you answer it?
How is your heart? Be honest with yourself. Are you happy where you're at spiritually? If no, why not? What can you do better?
This prompt was so that you could look inward and do some reflection.
The best 10 days of the year are fast approaching and I know you want this time to be different. To be full of eeman. To be full of love of Allah. To do all good deeds consistently. To benefit immensely from them.
But for you to achieve this, you have to look at your heart.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “In the body there is a piece of flesh: if it is sound the whole body will be sound and if it is corrupt then the whole body will be corrupt.”
Is your heart in a good place? What can you do to make it better?
To show up 100% to Allah, you have to take care of your heart.
Here are some videos for you to watch to help;
Wipe the dust off your heart by Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan (It’s Ramadan-themed but still very beneficial)
Purification of the heart. Signs of a pure heart by Dr Haifaa Yuonis
I hope these videos are beneficial & I pray Allah grants you and I a qalbun saleem (sound heart)
