Which door is the best to pray when you're going through a hard
time and when you are at your lowest, okay, there's numerous
doors to be honest, there's actually numerous doors in this
first hour though, those doors which I think one of the best two
hours that you could do is to sit and read Quran with meaning
because you're going to come across so much in the Quran that
is going to help you
through this maze that you find yourself in because essentially
when you're at your lowest you it's like a maze, you don't know
which way to go. And you just feeling
at loss you're feeling
you're just feeling like you're worthless sometimes. So you start
reading the Quran, you understand what Allah is saying. So I'm
talking about a more holistic approach as opposed to just like
putting your hands up and making a few dollars that you have no idea
what you're saying. Then there are those doors in which you praise
Allah Allah, Allah Illallah who have evil Haleem La ilaha illallah
Bhullar Sheila Aleem La Ilaha, il Allah Ragusa disability hora,
Bullock, Sheila Veeam, you know, there is no God except Allah, Lord
of the Throne, Lord of the heavens, all of these things, they
really give you an understanding of the greatness of Allah subhanho
wa taala. When you focus on that, then you understand our smallness,
is then put into perspective. Right now shaytan is making our
slave hood, he's making us feel bad about it, because he wants us
to feel great in the wrong sense. So if you put ourselves that way,
just servants of Allah. Right? So that's number two. Number three,
there are other donors like husband Allahu anatomia, Lucky
ALLAH is sufficient for us. And he's the best patron that works
miracles, right? So an abundant reading of that. Number four,
Allah Who journey female see, but the harder. This is, of course, if
you're in a masiva, right, if you're in some kind of calamity or
difficulty, then you say, oh, Allah reward me for this calamity
that I'm in, in the sense that reward me by giving me patience.
You know, with all of this difficulty that I'm going through,
then give me give me give me patience on that and elevate my
status because of that, and give me in return for it something even
better. You actually say that to people who have just lost a loved
one. Right? You You're basically saying of them Allah who has your
luck, may Allah increase your reward? Why? Because you've just
lost something. Human humans, when they lose something, they they
become vulnerable, when they become vulnerable than they have
to be patient unless they cry out and do wrong, right? Generally,
you'll be patient that's the timing, you can be patients and
patients has a huge rewards.
So I think there has to be a holistic approach is not like some
kind of spell that you just read the door and you're done. Right?
It needs to be with meaning. And that really is what helps because
you're in a vulnerable state you need to boost yourself up. And
then there are there are traditions which mentioned that
when your heart is broken, then you're very close to Allah and
Allah subhanaw taala will answer you otherwise inshallah. So really
any heartfelt da tahajjud is going to be really the most mighty
dollar that you can do along with all of these in sha Allah
