Slow down, Stand still, Experience

When was the last time we let our mind be silent? When was the last time we reflected on our emotions, thoughts, and actions? When was the last time we coaxed our heart, mind amd nafs to be quiet, and instead reach out and listened to what Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'Ala is telling us

The first step to making da'wah is love, not self-righteousness or the want to "save" others.

What we should first do is to love, to build real solid relationships, to make lots of du'a, and to always act as the Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wasallam has told us to.

It may take a day. It may take months. it might even take years. But in the end, guidance is from Allah.

Not from you, and definitely not from me.

It might be much easier to do things the way we want them to, but it is much more beneficial to do things the way it needs to be done.
