Great wet meadow cloud Canyon, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park, California.Reflections on prayer, faith, Gratitude and the soul
By Sarah Saghir
1. Make the wudu, not war.
2. You can not love God, without him leaving you. He must love you first of all.
3. It is the dua at the table of Iftar that tells us what we really want. It is the ability to remove the nafs, hush the stomach for a few minutes extra, all let the heart speak what he wants.

4. The only mirror we should check up the obsession, it is that reflects the soul. You can not buy a like mirror, but you can find it in you. * Reflect * on the State of your soul. Sit with you and think. But for these reflections on the surface, you need light blessed of God and a pair of eyes open - nay, an open heart. Because sometimes, "it is not the eyes that are blind, but the hearts." (Qur'an 22:46)
Allah ya put the light of the Koran in our hearts. Make it a means for us to see clearly. Ya Wahhab

5. It has absolutely not necessary, my friend - no need to wipe the rain on my face after the prayer. I know that your intentions are good, as you might believe that there are dark clouds hovering over my head, but I host Rainbows indoors, with colors of love, fear, hope, guilt, shame, peace and calm. And sometimes these tears signify that I am desperately looking for rays of sincerity that bring this Prism to life, in the rain.

6. I know that you cannot measure the extent of your blessings; but please tell me you have noticed one thing: the difference between visits and the carefree. You - God deals, causally sitting on a bus, reading his speech, surrounded by full of hungry & holiday passengers - should be so lucky. Tell me that you acknowledge this debt; Tell me you found in its depth, gratitude.

7. When you decide eventually to practice your faith, knowing that God is 100% behind you. It is the only one give you this initial thumbs. And as a first step, it will be easy breezy. feel you 'the rush' and the experience of this "spiritual high".
But then it goes test you (only because he loves you) and now you have to start to swing at yourself, using your core, feet, arms, your will - against the wind, gravity, the difficulties, people, your sins...
You should continue to grow at the pace of the faith that swings, up, down, beautiful. Keep pushing for higher, more close to him. Keep pushing.

8 O Allah, anyone who wishes to khair (good) for me in the secret of the night or in the daylight opening, giving them double what they wished for me. And anyone who wants to sharr (mal) to touch me, forgiveness and stretch the distance and forgiveness between us. Ya Karim,
9. I want to live a life of simplicity, not an easy life.
10. If you pray only when you are in trouble, you're in trouble.
