    Get Your Du'ahs Answered Immediately!

    Get Your Du'ahs Answered Immediately!

    Haaaappy Thursday Cousins!!!
    You already know what time it issss, another week, another episode of the CCP!
    It’s officially episode 1 of the Ramadan Series! We hope you are all having a blessed month so far, whether you are spending with family, friends, or alone, may Allah grant you all a wonderful and reward filled month 🤍
    This week, we spoke about the steep decline in energy since we’ve started fasting and how it’s impacted our ability to do the most this month. We want to always remind ourselves first and you that you don’t always have to compare yourselves to what you see online. Doing so can either encourage you to do more (which is great) but sometimes it can discourage you and make you feel like what you’re doing is never enough. As long as you have your sincere intentions, do what you can even if it’s something small and in sha Allaah your rewards will be multiplied for you during this blessed month. 
    While we’re in the month of Ramadan, don’t forget to make du’ah for all the Muslims who are experiencing hardship around the world and ask Allah to free Palestine from the shackles of isnotreal. 
    Make du’ah for yourselves and ask for all that you have desired, we ask Allah to accept your fasts, prayers and du’ahs.
