I ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to illuminate our hearts with his light and to drive out the darkness of fear and depression and despair. As we face a hostile world it must be clear that the only source of support and protection that we can rely on is Allah. So let us repair our bridge to him. Here is what I suggest for all of us. Number one, visit the goals we set. If you did not set goals do it now. Check how you are doing with respect to achieving those goals. Number two, identify the blocks and retardants to your success and remove them. They will be for example time wasters, pointless conversation about things not in our control, low achiever friends who will drag you down to their level, distractions in your day combined with the inability to say no. Learn assertiveness and practice it. Number three, apply the start stop continue standard. What do I need to start which I'm not doing? What do I need to stop which I am doing? What do I need to continue consciously which I am doing which is good? And see on each if we are on track what are the measurable changes in our lives. Remember that metrics are evidence of existence. If you can't measure it, it doesn't exist. Good intentions that are not followed by action are useless. And four, finally having identified these turn to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala especially in tahajjud. Make tahajjud further on yourself for the rest of your life inshallah and ask for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's help to get closer to him because that is the purpose of Ramadan. Allah said, was judh waqtarib. Allah said, make sajdah and come close to me. Sajdah is the ultimate quintessential icon of obedience. You want to come close to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala? There's only one path and that is the path of obedience. And that's why in the middle of the ayat relating to fasting Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala revealed, wa idha saadaka li baadiyanni fa inni qareeb wujeebu daawat ad da'ee dha da'aan fal yastajeebu li wal yu'minoo bi la'allaghum yarshudoon Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said, when my slaves ask you O Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam about me, I am truly near to them. I respond to their da'aan when they call upon me, so let them obey me and believe in me and they will be guided to the right way. La'allah, which is translated as perhaps in the Quran, is at the level of yaqeen. So whenever you hear la'allahu yarshudoon, la'allahu turhamoon and so on and so forth, there's no element of doubt in that. Even though Allah said la'allah, there's no element of doubt in that. Now see this, the mercy of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, the slave only asked, wa idha saadaka li baadiyanni, the person is only asking about Allah and Allah says I'm close to him. I'm close to him. And when the slave is close to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, he is in need, so he asks Allah. And Allah says, Allah assures him. wujeebu daawat ad da'ee dha daan Allah said I will give you. But two conditions, fal yasta ji boolee wa joomeen ubee. Obey me and believe in me. Obedience is the key and obedience with knowledge of who Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is engenders and strengthens belief. Obedience is proof of Iban. When the heart of the slave is illuminated by the noor of the glory and magnificence of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, it is filled with gratitude to him for all his blessings. The first and most critical of them is tawheed and then his immediate response is to make istighfar and seek forgiveness. The surest sign of khashyatullah is the frequency of istighf...
