And One More Thing #21: Still

Ramadān Reflection

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

Stillness⁣

⁣Everyone is talking about stillness and mindfulness. And we see how important it is to quieten the voice in our head or just process what we need or we feel or it is what we need to just keeping ourselves from screaming⁣

⁣Stillness⁣

⁣The believers are successful. They are those who are humbly submissive. The pray with Khushoo...⁣

⁣Khushoo is humility⁣

A stillness that shows⁣

Both inwardly and outwardly⁣

⁣The way we stand in front of Allah ﷻ will depend on how we stand in Salah in this world⁣

⁣Stillness⁣

⁣It is standing still, heart in hand, head bowed, humbled before your Lord in prayer⁣

⁣And sometimes you can't control it⁣

So you need to keep bringing yourself back⁣

Go against your nafs⁣

Remind yourself with every “Allahu Akbar” that Allah is greater (than any and everything)⁣

⁣It is okay if you struggle with bringing khushoo from the inside out, start from the outside in...⁣

⁣Don’t allow your thoughts to wander or you limbs to move unnecessarily. ⁣

⁣Yes that means no more scratching or yawning.⁣

⁣Just Stillness!⁣

⁣May we be pleased with ourselves and our Lord on the day we have to stand in front of our Rabb. Amin.⁣
