Tamara Gray – #AnseTalks Three Goals For This New Year

Okay, so we have three components of this that I mentioned in the

book of the Hijra of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam. And

one of them is the goal was to get the Muslim community safely to

Medina of the original Hijra. The second is the prophet Salam had a

plan, and it was an elaborate plan that included stealth strategy and

the blessing of Allah. So I want to think about that together. And

the Prophet Salam had a companion. So these are three things that are

really important for us, and I want us to think about how we can

have these three things in our lives. Okay, so first of all is

the goal

in this new Muslim year, this new Islamic year, as we make our

hijra, what's your goal? What's your goal for the new year? We're

starting with the followed prayers. That's our first goal. If

you're already there, you don't have any worries about that,

Alhamdulillah, then maybe you can add some prayers. But let's start

by making sure that this is a year where none of us miss our followed

prayers.

Number two, let's really break down the tahajju barrier. Let's be

people of tahajju. Let's see people who are standing Layla and

tawila at night, a long night. Let's be people who are filling

our hearts at this beautiful night. And maybe now it's still

summer. You're going to start slowly, but you'll grow and do

more and more as the fall comes forward next

and then the SEC the third thing is to have a companion, the

prophet Salam had Abu Bakr until Allah.

So

we you need it. We need companions on this way. Alright, so we will

be companions together. We will be companions together. And also, I

want you to, I want you to look around like, look around at your

space. Okay, look around at your friends, your family, and find

someone to be your tahajjud buddy. Join the tahajjud thread for sure.

You're going to find tahajjud buddies there and find a local

tahajjud buddy as well. Maybe if you get up for 10 days in a row,

you're going to share a coffee together, or maybe you're going

to,

I don't know, come together and find other ways to reward one

another, just applauding each other.
