"What you are asking for goes against nature", so I responded, "I am praying to Him who defies nature"

- Imam Ibn al-Jawzi رحمه الله, Captured Thoughts

Most people think Allahu Akbar means "Allah is the greatest." But it actually means something more beautiful. It actually means Allah is greater.

When you repeat it in Salah, it means Allah is greater than whatever else you could be doing or thinking about at this time. When you say it in difficulty, it means Allah is greater than the hardships that surround me. When you say it in sadness, it means Allah is greater than the situation that is hurting my heart. When you say it in your happy moments, it means the Allah who granted me this joy is greater than whatever is making me happy. So whichever situation you say it in, it reminds you that Allah is and will always be greater than anything and everything that exists.

O Allāh, guide me with those whom you have guided, grant me well-being with those whom you have granted well-being, take me to your care with those you have cared for, bless me in whatever you have given, and protect me from the bad of what you have decreed.

“But Allah comes before everything else that deserves to be loved”

- Ibn Taymiyyah

Struggling in your emaan? Do you feel dead inside when you pray, make du’aa, or read Qur’an?

Remember this: It’s okay to show up empty. Just be sure to show up.

And your Lord will fill your heart with the spiritual fuel it needs, eventually.

But you have to show up.

Show up to prayer.

Show up to du’aa.

Show up to Qur’an.

Just the act of showing up is a powerful act of faith.

Allah will take care of the rest.

I ask Allāh that He relieves each and every one of you from every anguish, that He takes away from you every sadness, every sickeness, every evil, and that He writes for you every happiness of this world and the Hereafter; and that He gives you a long life, along with good actions, along with blessings for you in your provision, your wealth and family.

Allahumma Ameen
