Our Most Vital Need

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate
Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

The most vital and essential need of us in this life is guidance. Guidance only comes from Allah.

لِّلَّهِ ٱلْمَشْرِقُ وَٱلْمَغْرِبُ ۚ يَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍۢ مُّسْتَقِيمٍۢ

...."To God belong the East and the West; He guides whomsoever He will to a straight path.' Qur'an Al-Baqarah 2:142

If Allah doesn't guide us, where will we wind up? So, ask Allah for guidance much. Allah loves to be asked and dislikes not to be asked. And the next time you perform your prayers and get to this asking, truly mean it, and not let your mind wanders off to other than the One from Whom you are asking.

ٱهْدِنَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيم
صِرَٰطَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ ٱلْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

"Guide us in the straight path, the path of those whom Thou hast blessed, not of those against whom Thou art wrathful, nor of those who are astray." Qur'an Al-Fatiha 6-7

May Allah guide us all. Ameen. Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
