Getting hooked up? - With Allah.
On the authority of Abu Hurairah (R) who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: Our Lord descends each night to the Earth's sky when there remains the final third of the night and He says: 'Who is saying a prayer to Me that i may answer it? Who is asking something of Me that i may give it him? Who is asking forgiveness of Me that i may forgive him?'. - Bukhari.
How to keep remembering Allah?
Assalamu alaiukum 😃
I don't know if this has already been duscussed and i haven't really bothered searching for it either, plus i just wanted to let some thoughts out.
Basically like everyone i have my highs and lows when it comes to my imaan or taqwah. Hopefully as does everyone else i would love to keep my imaan and taqwah at a high all the time.
One of the ways i think my imaan is affected is by how often i do good deeds and how much and what sins i commit. It certainly helps keep Allah on your mind when you're busy with doing good deeds but sometimes i feel like i've run out of things to do and i just get bored. I've also felt an imaan boost when giving up things which are sinful or i may in doubt of.
What my main concern is, is how do we remain god concious and in that high state of imaan all the time or is it impossible?
Like in the midst of our daily lives, like at work, uni or amongst friends how do we remember Allah. Even though i may not be sinning i lose focus of my purpose in life and just comfortable in the dunya.
One thing i've learnt through this Ramadan that's just gone by is that if i do have any problems or need let things out i should turn to Allah in dua. This has helped me immensely and it really does help me remember Allah.
One problem though, i can't stay in dua all day although i wish i could but then again this life wouldn't really be much of a test then.
I know there's no one answer for this and i have found many ways of living in this dunya but still doing things for the akhirah. I just wanted some of your advices and thoughts that may be able to help me on this journey.
I could listen to lectures or read a book but that only gives me a temporary boost, i need practical advice that has helped you and maybe i can do the same for you guys.
Anyway jazakallah khair and may Allah guide us all. Ameen
