A dua from a mother to her daughter
Dear Daughter,
May Allah get rid of your Anxiety and Depression. May Allah help you complete your education and be able to be independent as you are starting your journey as an adult. May Allah help you be healthy, and above all, May Allah give you Imman and a long life.
Ameen.

The two Rak'ah before the dawn (Fajr) prayer are better than this world and all it contains.
الصالة خير مه النوم
In the stillness of dawn, beneath the canopy of a new sky, lies a sacred moment that whispers of divine connection.
Fajr prayer, the first light of our daily devotion, is a gift bestowed upon us by the Creator.
It is within this silent communion that we discover the path to discipline.
The Poetry of Stillness
Imagine the world asleep, a realm untouched by the hustle and bustle of daylight.
This is the canvas upon which the Fajr prayer is painted.
In the peaceful hours of dawn, the soul converses with the Divine, an intimate dialogue beyond words.
Discipline Born of Love
True discipline is not born of fear but of love. It is not a harsh master but a gentle guide.
Fajr prayer, in its tender embrace, teaches us the art of commitment. Each morning, we rise from the comfort of our beds, surrendering to a higher calling.
It is a commitment to love, to devotion, and to a way of life illuminated by Allah's grace.
In the quiet hours of dawn, we become disciples of our hearts.
Fajr prayer becomes an act of selflessness where we put our Creator before our comfort.
Through this act, we cultivate the discipline of prioritizing the sacred over the mundane, the eternal over the fleeting, and the journey over the destination.
The Strength of Resolve
We often speak of inner strength as the essence of discipline. Our willpower is polished through prayer.
Fajr prayer, in its quiet determination, becomes the crucible in which our resolve is tested and tempered.
In the dim light of dawn, we awaken not only our bodies but also our spirits.
We stand as guardians of our destinies, protecting our souls against the world's distractions.
Through the daily commitment to Fajr prayer, we nurture the strength to face life's challenges with unwavering determination.
The best of charity is when a Muslim gains knowledge, then teaches it to others.

🤲 Community Du’a From Amina 🤲
O Allah you are the most Magnicient, the Most-Powerful, you are Al Khalil, the Creator. You are the Bestower, the provider, the Sustainer, the O One who holds the keys to all abundance, the Bestower of blessings, the Lord of all worlds, we beseech You with profound humility:
Open wide the doors of sustenance for Mohamed Saleel. With Your divine grace, alleviate the burdens he faces in his work, and illuminate his path to success in this life and the Hereafter. May his achievements be a source of pride and joy for his parents, a testament to Your endless benevolence, O Most Generous One.
Ameen.
