I want to share a personal incident with you all which might not be very significant to you, but it has made me acknowledge the value of kindness.

I am not an ice cream enthusiast at all. Mostly, whenever I prefer to get an ice cream, it's either because of the peer pressure or rare cravings.

A week ago, I craved for a chocolate ice cream post iftar right when I heard the generic Walls jingle around the corner. So, I stepped outside and went to get the ice cream. To my utmost surprise, the chapman was an old yet amiable man who was extremely polite. When I requested for my desired ice cream, he immediately produced it with a smile so bright that could brighten up anyone’s day. I smiled in response and paid him with the bucks I had in my hand.

As I have mentioned that I am not a frequent buyer of ice creams, so I had no idea about the price hike concerning the ice creams and I had brought money equivalent to the past price. I apologised to him and said that, “Uncle wait, let me get the rest of the bucks from my house.” He said, “It’s fine beta! You can keep it. Think of it as a father’s gift to his daughter.” It was so so heart warming that I was out of words,

Well, later on, I really felt bad that why I couldn’t get enough money, so the next day, I waited the entire day for iftar and right when I heard the jingle, I practically ran to the door. Upon seeing me, he smiled at me with the same gentle warmth and said, “Beta! Do you want the same ice cream again?” I said yes and told him that before I get a new one, I would like to give him the remaining money for yesterday’s ice cream. Though he didn’t want that, but I handed it over to him over and he gave me so many dua’as. It really felt amazing that day.

Long story short, now we have made this little routine where he comes to the street and I have made sure to get an ice cream daily. Everyday, he welcomes me with his amazing smile and right when I leave, he gives me lots of dua’as. Some days, my baby cousins accompany me and are also very impressed by his kindness. I know many of you will be thinking, “Well! What’s the big deal in this whole thing? After all, it’s just an ice cream or that I should be having enough money that day.” However, for me his kindness is the crux of the whole incident. The way he treated me so kindly that day made me believe that kindness still exists in forms so trivial that we mostly end up overlooking them. My intention isn’t to preach anything, but I just to give you all a subtle reminder to value the kindness which you receive in little efforts, at unexpected places and in faces who are strange but gentle enough to turn your bad days bright because that’s the essence of humanity. As Purnam Allabadi says:

حُسنِ اِخلاق اے عُروسِ حیات

سب سے اچھا سنگھار ہوتا ہے

Level Of Education At Islamic Boarding School

Children spend 7 to 8 hours daily in school, learning new things, gaining knowledge, and becoming companions. Children tend to copy and learn from their nearest companions, especially in elementary education. Public schools are common among people. But do you know about Islamic schools?

The levels and the value of education in Islamic Boarding Schools and public schools are different. This is the reason why people ask themselves whether they send their children to public school or Islamic school.

To make you aware of the Islamic school, we are going to tell you the level of education in Islamic schools here.

Levels of education

If we talk about the education level, both Islamic and public schools offer the same educational program. You do not need to worry about the quality of education. Your children will learn the good academic program of Islamic education.

Presence of an Islamic environment

For children who want to learn about the religion and cultural values of Islam, it is important to understand the Islamic presence. The environment in Islamic education is surrounded by values, beliefs, and ethics, especially among youngsters who are now developing the core matters to shape their future and understand what to do.

Raising and exposing the younger ones in the right manner to conduct and remove the deficiency in most other schools. It is key to building Islamic fundamentals and good manners for your children.

Learn to read Qur’an

Usually, Islamic schools put focus on giving education on the holy Quran. Something also provides you on behalf of yours. Teaching the Holy Quran is the responsibility of the parents.

It is important for kids to must learn and understand the Quran in Islamic boarding schools UK in order to get the proper guidance in Muslim life. Once the kids learn and understand the fundamentals of the Quran, you are sure that your children will turn into decent and ethical people when they grow up.

Learn the Arabic language

Normal schools do not provide knowledge of Arabic language classes. So for students in normal schools, the chances to learn the Qur'an language are impossible. At the same time, private lesson and education are expensive and results in a good language base. During Islamic schools, long efforts and time contribute to learning Arabic, where your children have become masters.

Learn the basic Islamic values

The best thing about education at Islamic schools is that your children learn about Islamic knowledge and beliefs. They move towards the Islamic religion and values. The kids get the chance to learn Hadith, Dua’a, and Quran recitation and explanation.

Forcing naturally to your kids to learn about the Islamic religions in this school will keep you away from the headache of finding private teachers, so they can be made the extra effort and give extra time to your kids.

“Self-care” is an expression we often see being used. Starting as a medical term coined in the 1950′s for mentally ill patients, it became a concept borrowed for political reasons by women in the civil rights movement, before moving to San Francisco bay where the public’s attention drew towards a holistic approach to fitness and healthy life style. Today, the term is used more than ever as a way to tell a person to take emotional breaks, to overcome compassion fatigue, burnout and others. While the concept of taking care of yourself physically and emotionally is beyond important, it’s not exactly a concept we should be throwing around easily either. Especially when constantly using it as an excuse to isolate yourself from people that care for you.

The prophet (saw) suffered countless human loss in his life but had the capacity to listen to a bird complain about its nest, and a cat complain about its treatment. After burying over six children and many other loved ones, he was still able to smile. He even felt a deep connection and love for people he never met... us. Yes, he is a prophet, sent as a mercy to humanity, but even so, he was also sent as an example, as a human - just like us. How did he manage to stay strong without resorting to depending on the tactics of self-care that we generally turn to?

First, his escape route was prayer. And while no one can match his level of focus and devotion during prayer, we can still learn from it and perceive the importance of inherently depending on prayer in our daily lives. And this route never made him ignorant of the problems faced by everyone around him. Instead, it enabled him to become more involved physically and emotionally with his surroundings. It made him stronger. At the same time, the five daily prayers are structured in a way to balance our work and spiritual matters in life. They serve as necessary frequent breaks between the day and give us time to find tranquility in the moment. It’s a form of self-care that is constant, an essential ingredient in the recipe of every single day of our lives.

A part of prayer is making dua’a. This includes changing our mindset about our personal goals and the world around us. For example, a dua’a found in Surah Furqan ayah 74 is, “Oh my Lord, make our spouses and children a comfort to our eyes and make us leaders of the virtuous.” This journey in life is not just about ourselves; it’s also about the people around us. Taking care of our family, neighbors, friends is our responsibility -- not just a means of doing good deeds to make us feel better about ourselves. We have a greater purpose in life, and every single person is accountable. Asking God for help is a perfect starting point to making us fulfill this purpose with the capacity that we have. We should always ask the question, “how can I get myself to a place where I am able to take care both of myself and others?” Self-care is only one miniscule step in a long, worthwhile, journey of actively taking care of the people around us.

Another important point to digest is that ‘isolation’ from people is actually not inherently bad. On the contrary, the prophet used to isolate himself during the night time to organize his thoughts, especially before prophethood, and this brought him a lot of benefit. A healthy lifestyle, spending time outside (i.e playing sports), breathing in nature, silence, reading, and spending time alone are crucial to our well-being. Especially as work of school assignments pile up on out desks, it’s hard to stay focused constantly. These intervals are necessary to our livelihood, programmed inside of us. We yearn for love and change; we enjoy silence after noise; we see poetry in the darkness after spending time in light; we want peace. However, this is not only self-care; it is human nature. It is crucial to our health and peace of mind. Today’s version of ‘self-care’ however, has turned into something more - an industrial concept that seems to imply that humans are capital, that family is hardship, and that empathy, or feeling sad, are harmful.

Finally, most importantly, the key to finding the great potential and strength in ourselves is gratitude. Not just experiencing occasional flickers of the feeling - but rather, turning gratitude into a lifestyle. Sincerely reserving time to deeply contemplate the blessings we can count before we start noticing our worries grow smaller. One specific self-care practice includes something called “gratitude exercises.” Islam introduced the practice of internalizing the word Alhamdullilah, and saying it after every meal, after every injury, after every success, long before 2019 updates of this “secular” method popped up on our search engines.

Before we start using self-care as an excuse to deliberately allow ourselves to become emotionally exhausted over matters that have practical solutions, we should look towards the stories of the prophets, prayer, and gratitude. We should also look into ourselves. What exactly is bothering me, or causing me to feel a certain way and how can I fix it? Of course, self-care is important -- but it should not include the act of creating a personal bubble that disjoins us from others. And it shouldn’t simply involve a hobby that makes us happy, or an action of worldly-gain. And it most certainly shouldn’t cause us to view empathy and sacrifice for the sake of others as qualities that are more harmful to us than virtuous. Most importantly, self-care should not be done just for our sake. It is actually a serious requirement of our religion that should empower us to do effectual good for others without expecting reward from anyone else except God, who will, with his grace and mercy, shower us with blessings both in this short life and the eternal hereafter.

My God, if You do not forgive in this honored month - except the one who has sincerely purified himself for You, in his fasting and his prayers - then who is there for the negligent sinner, when he drowns in the sea of his sins?”

HI, APA KHABAR?

بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

bi-smi llāhi r-raḥmāni r-raḥīmi,

"In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful."

ٱلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ ٱللَّٰهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ

I’ve created a blog before but it’s too unorganized. So here I’m creating a second one where I could focus on a specific post.

So hi! I’m Malaysian 🇲🇾 btw. Welcome to my second blog where I share some Islamic reminder, quotes and I hope you’ll find something that you can relate to. Who knows, there could be other souls out there who my be needing a daily reminders, just like me.

If you’re looking for regular updates on what I wear and put on my face, there are thousands of other blogs for that. Instead, I want to share my journey on what I practice and istiqamah as a muslim, it could be some daily platform that I read and follow such as blog, telegram, twitter, website or some dua’a and tafseer that I recite (if I remember to do it) or story on how I stumble while perfecting my Deen (and what I did to overcome the situations). Sharing what kind of hikmah or wisdom I picked up from the mistakes that I encountered during my life. Focusing a more meaningful posts so that others could hopefully relate to and grow from, InshaaAllah.

To be precise ‘Istighfar and Istiqamah’ which initially means Istiqamah(Steadfastness) and Istighfaar(Seeking Forgiveness). The title itself reminds me to stay true to that vision and more importantly, to myself.

Day 26 - How to increase your Taqwa during Ramadan

The origin of the word Taqwa is from the Arabic root letters wa’ ka’ ya (meaning shield) and its verb is from the word “Ittaki”. Ittaki means to be careful or to be protected or to be cautious. Taqwa is an internal compass on the path that leads towards Allah. The broader meaning and character of Taqwa is to develop one’s behavior, so as to be cautiously aware in the worship of Allah and attain nearness to Him and in so doing, perfect oneself. In other words, Taqwa is the shield against wrongdoing

1. Healthy Mind Filter your thoughts Our minds are filled with multiple things all at once. Consciousness of Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) begins with your thoughts; to filter thoughts will be the first step towards taqwa. Replace unnecessary and negative thoughts with healthy, positive thoughts.

2. Stay Away from Major and Minor Sins

Shamelessness can block your ability to attain taqwa, therefore, stay away from all forms of shamelessness. Be aware of the major and minor sins. If you make a mistake, follow it up with a good deed and make tawba.

The Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) said: “Have taqwa (fear) of Allah wherever you may be, and follow up a bad deed with a good deed which will wipe it out, and behave well towards the people.” (At- Tirmidhi)

3. Perfect Salaah

Once you have cleared your thoughts and stayed away from sins to the best of your ability, you can build greater concentration in salah. For example, perfect your salah by praying on time and reciting different surahs and understanding their meanings.

4. Pray Sunnah Salah and Qiyam-al-Layl

Salah is your main connection with Allaah (سبحانه و تعالى), increase your connection by praying additional salah. For example, wake up for Qiyam-al-Layl and pray the sunnah salah before Fajr. Set an alarm clock, and most importantly sleep early to wake up for Qiyam- al- Layl. If Qiyam – al-Layl is difficult for you, then at least make a routine to pray other sunnah salah, InshaAllaah.

5. Make continuous Dua’a to Allaah

Make time during the night or day to converse with Allah (سبحانه و تعالى‎). If you aren’t asking for something specific, just thank Allah for His blessings and favors He has granted you. We can never thank Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) enough! The time of Qiyam is a good time to make dua to Allah, as well as other times the Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وسل) mentioned (on Fridays, Fajr, after Asr and Maghrib, etc.) Always remember the Ummah in your duas, especially with all the sufferings we are facing today.

6. Incorporate Sunnah into your life The Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وسل) has taught us many duas to help us be conscious of Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) throughout the day. Memorize some daily dua. For example, say the dua when waking up in the morning and when leaving the house.

For waking up: ‘All praise is for Allah who gave us life after having taken it from us and unto Him is the Resurrection.‘

For leaving the house: ‘In the name of Allah, I place my trust in Allah, and there is no might nor power except with Allah.’

7. Being kind to family The Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وسل) said he is the best to his family members. We should try to follow his steps and be kind to our family as well. Especially your parents; they are our keys to Paradise.

8. Reading Quran in Arabic and in a language you understand Quran is the tool which Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) has given us so that we may attain taqwa. If Arabic isn’t your first language then read Quran in a language you understand. Understanding the words of Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) will make you more conscious and fearful of Him.

9. Implement Quran For example, if you were to read surah Al-Humazah, a lesson to take from this surah is to avoid speaking badly of others.

Ibn `Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said, “Humazah Lumazah means one who reviles and disgraces (others).” Mujahid said, “Al-Humazah is with the hand and the eye, and Al-Lumazah is with the tongue.”

You could try to avoid disgracing your Muslim sisters and brothers by avoiding backbiting.

10. Check Yourself Daily Most importantly do not stray from attaining taqwa of Allaah. Mistakes may be made, but that is why Allah is At-Tawab and Al- Ghafur. You can always turn to Allah and make dua. Allah (سبحانه و تعالى)) says to fear Him as much as you can.

“So fear Allah as much as you are able and listen and obey and spend [in the way of Allah]; it is better for yourselves. And whoever is protected from the stinginess of his soul – it is those who will be the successful.” (Surat At-Taghabun 64:16)

Destroyer of all pleasures: death.

How temporary is life, and how certain is death?

Its something I’ve been pondering over for sometime - almost a daily routine of some sort.

Its both beautiful and dark.

It breaks me, but rebuilds me - its a reminder that’s redefined my relationship with death. Death is a reality for all of us, its more certain than the next breathing moment. Its changed my mindset on levels.

Anyway, I leave you guys with that - I’ll be leaving tumblr, temporarily for now. Who knows if I’ll be back. If I die, you’ll hear about it from my best friend, and if that happens, please keep my family in your ad’iyah. Especially my mum. Then make dua’a for me. May Allah keep you all steadfast, answer your ad’iyah and give you whats best for you in this world and the akhira. When the going gets tough, remember the temporariness of this life, and pray 2 rakat. Maybe your heart will find some peace. May Allah ease your affairs and bless you all with happiness and goodness.

Assalamu 3alaykum wa ra7matullahi wa barakatuh.

6 Steps to Get You Closer to ALLAH (SWT)

“…for without doubt in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction.” (Surah Al-Rad, 13:28) To be close to our Creator Allah (swt) is a fundamental need of every human being and striving to achieve it can be the healing for our chaotic inner selves which, in turn, leads to: Allah’s subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) love Greater productivity Confidence Satisfaction and joy Therefore, it is essential to exert effort in seeking closeness to your Creator. To begin with, the prescription to getting closer to Allah requires a few things from you: Strong intention to get closer to Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) Patience Consistency Avoid doing nothing Let’s first consider our worth to Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He). If you want to know your worth to Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He), then see what you are doing with your life. Are you pleasing Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) or disappointing Him? Don’t like your answer? Well, there is good news. The fact that you are seeking closeness to Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) means He wants you to remember Him. Being productive is very important as a Muslim. It is a sign of Allah’s subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) mercy that you have come to seek beneficial knowledge from websites like this one. A righteous deed is like a pearl necklace – when it breaks, all the pearls follow one another quickly. Abu Huraira (RA) reported that the Prophet Muhammad ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) said that Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He), the Exalted and Glorious said, “I am near to the thought of My servant as he thinks about Me, and I am with him as he remembers Me. And if he remembers Me in his heart, I also remember him in My heart, and if he remembers Me in assembly I remember him in assembly, better than his (remembrance), and if he draws near Me by the span of a palm, I draw near him by the cubit, and if he draws near me by the cubit I draw near him by the space (covered by) two hands. And if he walks towards Me, I rush towards him.” (Sahih Muslim). We need to struggle to achieve great things. The harder the struggle is, the better the outcome becomes. Getting close to Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) takes time. We cannot expect everything to magically fall into place by doing a righteous deed. You need to depend on Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) and trust that what He has planned for you is the best you can have, for this life and the hereafter. Here are some tips to achieve closeness to Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) (glorified and exalted be He): 1. Dua’a (Supplication) We forget that we need Allah’s subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) help and strength to guide us. When we get too caught up with dunya (this life) we often think we can do it on our own without His help. We have to know that nothing changes without the strength and power of Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He). We need to ask Him for His help, even if it is to get closer to Him, or become better at worshiping Him. We need to seek refuge in Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) in everything. It could be negative thoughts we have, our lack of productivity or even our lack of faith. We need to ask Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) to help us and guide us to the Straight Path. Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) says in the Qur’an: ”And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me – indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me [by obedience] and believe in Me that they may be [rightly] guided”(2:186). 2. Stay Away from Poisons You need to get any poisons out of your life. Poison has many forms. Fix your heart, by staying away from anything that Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) doesn’t love. If you are around friends that make you sin and make you disappoint Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He), then you need to get them out of your life. The Prophet Muhammad ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) said: “A good friend and a bad friend are like a perfume-seller and a blacksmith: The perfume-seller might give you some perfume as a gift, or you might buy some from him, or at least you might smell its fragrance. As for the blacksmith, he might singe your clothes, and at the very least you will breathe in the fumes of the furnace.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari) 3. Get to Know Allah [SWT] Through His 99 Beautiful Names How can you love Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) and want to get closer to Him if you don’t know Him that well? We fall in love with people as we get to know them more and realize that they have a lot of beautiful qualities and characteristics. Of course Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) is above any analogy, but you need know Him more. Wanting to get closer alone won’t do you any good without falling in love with your Creator. Start with the name of Al-Wadud, the Ever-Loving. Allah’s subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) love for you is unconditional. He does not need or want anything from you in return. He loves you so He keeps giving you even if you disobey Him. Ask Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) with His 99 Names. He is the One who is closest to you (Qareeb). So ask Him to bring you closer to Him. Call on Him using the name Al-Wadud and ask Him to love you more and make you love Him more. It’s as simple as that. We tend to overthink stuff and forget that if we seek refuge in Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He), He will make everything easier on us. Abu Huraira raḍyAllāhu 'anhu (may Allāh be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) said, “If Allah loves a person, He calls Gabriel saying, ‘Allah loves so and-so; O Gabriel! Love him.’ Gabriel would love him and make an announcement amongst the inhabitants of the Heaven. ‘Allah loves so-and-so, therefore you should love him also,’ and so all the inhabitants of the Heaven would love him, and then he is granted the pleasure of the people on the earth.” [Sahih Al-Bukhari] 4. Dhikr (Remembrance of Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He)) Remembering Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) is essential in achieving closeness to Him. You can remember him by engaging in dhikr (remembrance) and tasbeeh (praise). Say Astaghfirullah a lot to erase your sins. Say Alhamdulillah so Allah will give you more. Look outside your window and say Subhan-Allah about His beautiful creations. The most elegant form of remembering Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) is by looking at His creations. When you are in between tasks like driving or walking, remember Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He). Listen to Islamic lectures or Islamic poetry that talk about Allah’s subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) glory. Surround yourself with people who remind you of Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He). Attend halaqas or religious circles in masjids or you can even create your own gathering of remembrance. The more you remember Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He), the more He will remember you. See what happens when you are sitting in a gathering that is filled with Allah’s subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) remembrance. Allah’s Messenger [SAW] said: “Whenever some people gather in one of Allah’s houses (mosques) to recite the book of Allah and study it among themselves – then calmness (tranquility) descends upon them, the angels surround them, mercy covers them, and Allah mentions them to those who are with Him.” (Sahih Muslim) 5. Follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) By following the Sunnah of our prophet ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) we will gain the love of Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He). When you gain the love of Allahsubḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He), you will get closer to him. Following the sunnah of the Prophet makes you a better person. You will have better manners and ethics. Read more about the Prophet ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him); fall in love with your Messenger. After all, he was a mercy to all mankind. Allah says so in the Qu’ran: “Say, (O Muhammad, to mankind): If ye love Allah, follow me; Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. (3:31)”. 6. Stay Connected to the Qur’an Reading or memorizing the Qur’an alone is not enough. Understand it and act upon it. Try your best to act the way we were asked to in the Qur’an. Strive for the best. Reflect on its meanings; it will give you answers to your daily life’s complications. When you read the Qur’an and understand it more you will be more likely to reach the level of ihsan. You will want to do everything right. In the form of a man, Gabriel/Jibreel 'alayhi'l-salām (peace be upon him) once entered a gathering where the Prophet ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) was sitting. One of the questions the angel asked was to elaborate on the term “ihsan”, Prophet Muhammed ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) said, “That you worship Allah as if you see Him, for if you don’t see Him then truly He sees you.”(Bukhari and Muslim) Wrapping It All Up Be productive, seek knowledge and take action. The more you love Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He), the more you will do to get closer to Him. The more you get closer to Him, the more He will get closer to you. The more you will want to learn about the sunnah and the Qur’an and want to get even closer to Him, the closer you will become to reaching the level of ihsan. When you reach that level you will feel Allah’s subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) love and you will be satisfied with everything He gives you. You will be productive because you won’t want to waste time without pleasing Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He). You will be confident in anything that you do in your life, because you will have full trust in Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He). May Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) guide us to the path that takes us closer to Him. Ameen.
