#Holy Prayer

[cleric-posting]

Please, in the name of all that is holy, don't let The Victorians eat me.

I pray that you are surrounded by people that will pray behind your back instead of talking behind your back.

The Prophet ﷺ Said,

لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ أَكْرَمَ عَلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى مِنْ الدُّعَاءِ

"There is nothing more honourable in the sight of Allah than dua (supplication)."

[Tirmidhi 3370]

No request is too small... PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING!

I don't know who needs to hear this but hear me out, just because I consider myself a christian doesn't mean that i'm better and completely 'good and holy' and that my life is perfect. of course not. I'm still a human being after all. I still struggle with temptations, I still struggle with basic problems just like the rest of other people. I have emotions as well, I'm trying to be better and control my temper. my beliefs might be different from yours and that's fine. I respect you, and I am not gonna jugde you. Just keep in mind that i am a human, a human who makes mistakes, a human who's not always right. i have emotions too, and I also face struggles. just cause i follow and believe in Jesus Christ doesn't mean 'I'm completely holy and perfect '. I have flaws as well.

When God gives you a new beginning, don’t repeat the old mistakes.

[thewordfortheday]

“We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.” (Romans 8:26)

Have you ever felt you haven't prayed enough or felt dissatisfied? We struggle to focus, we are distracted, we wrestle with wandering minds and we feel frustrated. This doesn't mean you are failing in some way, it only indicates that there's desire for more. More time spent in His presence, more of Jesus in your life, more of a deeper fellowship with His Spirit. Instead of getting discouraged and giving up, ask the Holy Spirit to help you and guide you into a deeper relationship with God. Then your prayer life will be more fulfilling and even exciting.

how to maintain a tahajjud routine

trying to wake up for tahajjud + fajr is something that i've been trying to do consistently, especially as it's winter and the days are shorter. this can be hard with my uni studies/lectures and other commitments when I just want to sleep for longer and not wake up. however, these are some things that help me form a routine:

sleep early this means that you're getting enough sleep to not be as tired when you wake up. try and go to sleep around the same time every night so that when you do wake up for tahajjud, your body adjusts over time to this new routine. i tried to be asleep by 11pm and my body naturally started to wake me up around 5-5:30am because of this, alhamdulillah.

setting multiple alarms i am that girl who will wake up her whole house with alarms before it even wakes her up. if i want to wake up at 5:45, i set them for 5:40, 5:45, 5:50, 6:00 and eventually i get tired of snoozing them all and just get out of bed.

repeating 'prayer is better than sleep' in my head sometimes it is so tempting to say 'i'll get up in 5 minutes...' and then that 5 minutes turn into 2 hours. when having the urge to say this to myself and close my eyes, i try and battle it by repeating that phrase in my head which reminds me the blessings of salat and helps me get out of bed.

waking up 30 minutes before fajr by the time i finish praying tahajjud, it is fajr time and i get to complete the first prayer on time as well. this will make it feel easier as you're not waking up in the middle of the night and then going back to sleep and missing fajr or having to wake up for it again - you get to pray both around the same time.

doing something after fajr before a nap sometimes it's hard to go back to sleep after fajr on the days where I start university late/it's the weekend but i still want some rest. i started to do some reading after fajr to make me sleepy so that in an hour or two, i'd go back to sleep for another 2 hours and wake up feeling well rested and continue with the rest of the day. i'm always the most productive on these days. of course, it depends on your life schedule and what is going on in your life as well.

reading about the blessings of tahajjud understanding this makes me want to pray tahajjud even more as i know the benefits and beauty of waking up in the middle of the night when everyone else is asleep and Allah has descended to the lowest heaven in the third part of the night. it makes me want to wake up and be close to Him.

these are just what work for me. if these do not work for you, try and see what does and Insha’Allah you will form your own routine. may Allah make it easy for us all, Ameen.
