Hazrat Ali ( ) Reported:

Hazrat Ali (رضي الله عنه) reported:

A slave who had made a contract with his master to pay for his freedom, came to me and said: "I am unable to fulfill my obligation, so help me." He said to him: "Shall I not teach you a supplication which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) taught me? It will surely prove so effective that if you have a debt as large as a huge mountain, Allah will surely pay it for you. Say:

اللّهُمَّ اكْفِنِي بِحَلَالِكَ عَنْ حَرَامِكَ، وَأغْنِنِي بِفَضْلِكَ عَمَّن سِوَاك‏َ

"(O Allah! Grant me enough of what You make lawful so that I may dispense with what You make unlawful, and enable me by Your Grace to dispense with all but You)."

—Riyad as-Salihin 1486

We all as Muslims try our best to pray the five obligatory Salahs! Now as important that is, we must strive to attain a deeper connection with Allāh ﷻ in our prayers by knowing the meaning of our utterances. So here is the translation of the DUA which we begin our prayer with.

سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ

“Glorious You are O Allah, and with Your praise, and blessed is Your Name, and exalted is Your majesty, and none has the right to be worshipped but You.”

Let's be mindful of our duas, recitation in our prayers. In Sha Allah, Allāh ﷻ will be pleased with our efforts.

Anytime you see a goodness in me, it's all because of the MERCY of Allāh ﷻ that He ﷻ has chosen me to be committing these acts. Whether it's patience, kindness, steadfastness, intelligence, good character, justice— the list goes on. It's always Allah's mercy. It's the only truth. Any achievement you see of mine is already decreed by Allāh ﷻ. Nothing is in my hand and nothing will be. Even the choice of my Sajdah is already been decided by my Lord ﷻ up there. Subsequently, it opens a new door of gratitude since nothing could ever be possible without Him ﷻ. Allāh ﷻ the Lord of the WORLDS. Not just the life which is born on earth, the lives of the millions of worlds which are incomprehensible to our limited mind. Yet, Allah ﷻ is the most Merciful towards me! It's very good to be reminded of your position and humble yourself before "Al-Malik".

‎The Prophet ﷺ said,

‎“Whoever guides someone to goodness will have a reward like one who did it.”

Nothing makes me happier than listening to my cats' breath while they're asleep. I've always wondered what it's like to be lulled to dreamland by listening to someone's breath, and my cats right here, did not disappoint. Hitting all the right spots, bringing me joy like nothing. Why ASMR when I've got them? Calming my nerves and making my heart dance with joy. These little fluffballs just got to exist and I'm more than willing to sacrifice my entire life for them. They're my home, my refuge, my sanctuary. Thank you so much Allāh ﷻ for blessing me with such cute creatures.

اللهم لا تجعل رمضان يمر كالريح. قُدِّر لنا التطهير، غيّرنا للأفضل، اغفر لنا ذنوبنا، وقربنا إليك
