Prophet Muhammad (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) [Abu Daud]
Explanation here.
“When one of you sleeps, the Shaitan ties three knots at the back of his head and says for each knot: have a long night, so slumber. When you wake up and mention Allah, one of these knots is untied. When you perform ablution, another knot is untied; and when you establish prayer, all of the knots are untied and you become alert and pleasant. Otherwise, you become wicked hearted and lazy.”
—Prophet Muhammad (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) [Sahih Bukhari]
“Tonight when you’re at His door, stay put and keep knocking and whispering those prayers. He will open the door for sure (Insh’Allah).”

A boy said to his father: “I saw a girl and I want to marry her. She is so beautiful and she has gorgeous eyes. The father answered his son: of course son, let’s ask for her hand in marriage.”
… When the father saw the girl, he admired her beauty and he told his son: “You don’t deserve this girl, she needs someone who has experience in life and she can depend on, someone like… me.”
The boy was surprised by the attitude of his father and he told him :
“She will marry me, not you”. They started to fight and finally they decided both to go to the police station to solve their problem.
When they tell their story to the police officer, he told them:”bring the girl so we can ask her about her opinion about this. ” When the officer saw the beauty of the girl he said to the boy and his father:”you both don’t deserve her, she needs someone who has prestige like me.”
The 3 men started a fight and decided to go to the minister to solve their problem. When the minister saw the girl, he said: “She deserves to be married with a minister like me”. The prince heard about their problem and call them all to help them solve it but and when he saw the girl he said : “This girl will marry me” .
All the 5 men started to fight. Finally, the girl said “I have the solution! I will start to run and whoever catches me first, he will be my husband”. When she started to run, the boy, his father, the police officer, the minister and the prince started to run to catch her. Suddenly the 5 men fell into a deep hole.
The girl looked to them from the top and she said
“Did you know who am I?”
I am the Dunya, THE LIFE!
People want to run to catch me, they are racing to have me.
By doing that, they forget their religion, until they end up in their grave and won’t have me…
You cannot worship until you love
You cannot love until you feel
You cannot feel until you understand
You can’t understand until you learn
You cannot learn until you have been found
Can’t be found until you seek
You will not seek nor find until you yearn
And you will not yearn till you remember
So remember,“La Ilaha Il Allah”
Everyday, in my dua'a, I pray to Allah for guidance... 'cause I don't want to go back to the wrong way i came from. I'm very afraid of my past where in I used to be a kafir ..
Masha’Allah
Never forget that Allah knows best.
A reminder for myself first.
