Greetings on this lovely day of Jumuah (Friday)
I have this thing with effort and reward. I practice it alot. Must be something I picked up growing up. Anyway, it serves me well as it works as motivation to keep me getting things done and working hard.
So it’s no wonder that this image shared on a family Whatsapp group hit home for me. It acted as a reminder for me to do my bit : all I need to do is these four things :

So it’s no wonder that this image shared on a family Whatsapp group hit home for me. It acted as a reminder for me to do my bit : all I need to do is these four things :
1. show gratitude
2. ask of Allah
3. ask for forgiveness and
4. constantly praise Allah
-and then sit back and enjoy a response from ALLAH Alone!
There are some simple tasbeehs to read for each of these, so this is how I plan to implement.
Gratitude: سبحان الله (Subhanallah) Glory be to God
Ask of Allah: لاَّ إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ أَنتَ سُبْحَـنَكَ إِنِّى كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّـلِمِينَ ( La Ilaha Illa Anta Subhanaka Inni Kuntu Minaz Zalimeen) “…There are none worthy of worship besides You. Glorified are You. Surely I am from the wrongdoers.” (21:87)*
Forgiveness : أستغفر الله (Astaghfirullah) I ask Allah forgiveness
Forgiveness : أستغفر الله (Astaghfirullah) I ask Allah forgiveness
Praise: الحمد لله (Alhamdulillah) Praise be to Allah
Maybe I can read them all every day, so maybe depending on the situation and my need I will increase recitation of a particular need. Either way, I am promised by my Lord a certain response from HIM if I do one of the following. WOW, that’s not just something, that’s everything!
Prayers and reminders I hope to heed,

*Dua of Prophet Yunus (May Peace be upon him), when he was swallowed by the whale and read this very powerful dua which I just love. Feel like it gets me out of any sticky situation, Alhamdulillah!
