Not Just Du'a But Change Your Lifestyle

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

Who would make the effort to remember Allah's blessings except the person whose heart keep turning back to Allah?
هُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُرِيكُمْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ وَيُنَزِّلُ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ رِزْقًا ۚ وَمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ إِلَّا مَن يُنِيبُ ﴿١٣

It is He who shows you His signs and sends down to you from the sky, provision. But none will remember except he who turns back [in repentance]. (13)
[Qur'an, Al-Ghaafir 40:13]

Lots of people make du'a. Hajj/Umrah is full -- millions of people making du'a. No masjid is empty in Ramadhan especially on the 27th Ramadhan -- lots of people making du'a.

Allah said make du'a to Him. But first clarify your lifestyle just for Him, not just your religion, but your lifestyle -- family, social, business, income, goals, career, love, hate, aspirations, future plans, etc. Where are they as far sincerity to Allah?

Disbelievers don't hate us making du'a but when our life turn to Allah they really dislike it.
فَٱدْعُوا۟ ٱللَّـهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ ﴿١٤﴾ رَفِيعُ ٱلدَّرَجَـٰتِ ذُو ٱلْعَرْشِ يُلْقِى ٱلرُّوحَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِۦ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ لِيُنذِرَ يَوْمَ ٱلتَّلَاقِ ﴿١٥﴾ يَوْمَ هُم بَـٰرِزُونَ ۖ لَا يَخْفَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّـهِ مِنْهُمْ شَىْءٌ ۚ لِّمَنِ ٱلْمُلْكُ ٱلْيَوْمَ ۖ لِلَّـهِ ٱلْوَٰحِدِ ٱلْقَهَّارِ ﴿١٦

So invoke Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion, although the disbelievers dislike it. (14) [He is] the Exalted above [all] degrees, Owner of the Throne; He places the inspiration of His command upon whom He wills of His servants to warn of the Day of Meeting. (15) The Day they come forth nothing concerning them will be concealed from Allah. To whom belongs [all] sovereignty this Day? To Allah, the One, the Prevailing. (16)
[Qur'an, Al-Ghaafir 40:14-16]

May Allah enable us to completely submit to Him. Ameen.

Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
