Today is a subtle invitation for us to change, and make a positive difference.

Bismillah.

I ask of you, dear reader, to read this thoroughly, visualize and practise.

"You begin to feel the urge to do something good. Then you begin to hear voices in your head, going at ten times the strength of your desire now. "What will the people say?", "I'm not that good anyway", "They will call me pious and start looking at me like a saint" , "My faith is not for display" and many many more. But realizing that this is the work of your enemy, you take a conscious action to seek refuge in The Protector as you visualize your passion igniting while your enemy gradually dissipates. You tell yourself, "I can make a difference today. I can make a difference today. I can make a difference today. For the sake of Allah. For the sake of Allah. For the sake of Allah. To seek His Pleasure alone."

Nothing's gonna stop you now, for you are doing this not for a creation but The Creator. With the strength you mustered, you took that step and never looked back. In the Name of Allah...

Repeat this to yourself.
Change begins with ME.
Change begins NOW.
Change begins as I take SMALL STEPS.

You don't have to necessarily make a big difference at one shot. because you can make millions of small differences anywhere your soul touches.
It may be insignificant in their eyes but it may just be the opposite in the sight of The Most Majestic.

This, like every other post, to myself first.

I'm Speaking to You, O Traveller

Imagine yourself as a traveller, on a journey. You have absolutely no idea how long this journey will take but you are very sure of your destination.
You know that no matter how many times you get lost, fail to ask for directions because you think you knew or stay immobile because you're just too tired or don't know what to do, you also know that there is something, much more greater than everything that's setting you back now, awaiting.
You know you're not alone on this journey, there are so many others who are heading towards the same destination. And the people around you, some are faster, some are a bit far behind. Are you going to continue walking alone? What if every difficulty faced can propel you nearer to your ultimate destination?
