Nothing Makes Me Happier Than Listening To My Cats' Breath While They're Asleep. I've Always Wondered

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.

Ya Allah ﷻ, don't make me attached to any pleasures of this ephemeral world. Ameen Sum Ameen.

Yahya ibn Mu‘ādh رحمه الله said:

‎“O son of Ādam, your religion will continue to be torn apart, ‎as long as your heart is attached to the pleasures of this world.”

‎[Hilyat-ul-Awliyā’a, 10/52]

اَفَمَنْ يَّمْشِيْ مُكِبًّا عَلٰي وَجْهِهٖۤ اَهْدٰۤي اَمَّنْ يَّمْشِيْ سَوِيًّا عَلٰي صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ

"Who is ˹rightly˺ guided: the one who crawls facedown or the one who walks upright on the Straight Path?"

—Al-Mulk 67:22

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.

One of the greatest virtues of praying Taraweeh in the mosque, behind the Imam.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:

"Whoever prays Qiyam with the Imam until he finishes, Allah (SWT) will record for him the Qiyam of a (whole) night."

—Sunan an-Nasa'i 1605

SubhanAllah! Indeed, Allāh ﷻ is THE MERCIFUL.

‎The Prophet ﷺ said,

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