Spiritual Guidance for Personal Growth

This dunya is a matrix, but there's only three main things you

need in order to

escape it. Number one, pray Tahajjud.

Wake up just five to ten minutes before Fajr and pray Tahajjud,

because Tahajjud is

like the arrow that never misses. You will get what you want, bi'ithnillah,

as long as you wake up and pray Tahajjud.

During Tahajjud too, try to stay in sujood for a little bit

longer because

sujood is our natural state where we are closest to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

Number two, do Istighfar at least one thousand every

day.

Istighfar cleanses your heart, mind, and soul.

When you think about it, a lot of us feel like our dua

is very impossible for

us, or like we're not worthy of the things

that we are asking for, and as a result,

we don't get it because there's so much guilt stored inside of our heart.

There's so much shame and guilt stored inside of us.

And the answer and the missing link is Istighfar.

It removes guilt, and it makes your heart more open to

receive.

And as a result, your duas are more able to get easily accepted.

And number three, have taqwa. Have taqwa.

God consciousness. Worship Allah as if you can see Him.

In the Quran, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us,

"Wa may yattaqillaha yaj'al lahu

makhraja." "Wa yursuhu min haythu la yahtasib." Whoever has taqwa of

Allah, Allah will make a way out for them, out of any difficulty, out of

any situation, out of any calamity, from places they do not even

expect. This is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's

promise.

So worship Allah like you can see Him because doors will start to

open from places that you can't even imagine.
