Imaan booster notes. (Notes from yasmin mogahed talks)
You cant live without oxygen for a minute. Your body cant survive spiritually without salaah 5 times a day. It keeps you alive. Just like a doctor when he prescribes you medicine to keep you alive. You must take 5 times a day.
If you dont pray it must feel as thought you cannot breathe.
If you really love someone but they speak a language unknown to you and they gave you a love letter. You would take the time to read and understand it wouldnt you?? So learn arabic or atleast memorise the translations to the surahs you read in salaah. This will help you get closer and communicate to the one you love. Allah
Azkar daily. Your relationship will strengthen through this.
Must protect and clean body. You cant say you wont bath for a week. Heart constantly dirty from sins. Constantly make istigfar and ask for forgiveness.
Your daily actions show who you love. Who your master is, Who you are a slave to. If its music, tv, children etc you run to when you get home then thats your master.
If you rather be in a masjid with Allah or a talk then that shows who you love.
You have a void in your heart if you watch TV or listen to music. (Shaytans voice). Must get off. Tells you to do zina. Tells you not to lower gaze. Life is for living not wasting time watching a screen.
Who are your companions. TV?? you will rise with your comapanions on the day of judgement.
Shows your attachment to Allah is shockingly bad. Especially if you are worse in good actions then before. Ie pray less then before. Memorise/read quran less then before. etc.
We forget when we sin we must make taubah (ask for forgiveness.)
