Description
How has your Iman and Ibadah been post-Ramadan? Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali encapsulated the life and outlook of the high-aspiring believers beautifully in these words: “The entire life of this dunya is a month of fasting for the muttaqeen, and their ‘Eid al-fitr is the day of meeting their Lord. And most of the days of fasting have already passed, and the ‘Eid of meeting is swiftly approaching” (Lataa’if al-Ma’aarif) These words should make us reflect - as we tasted the sweetness of striving in Ramadan, and the sweetness of success in Eid, it should serve as a valuable lesson for us to power on through our entire life ahead which are none but a number of days. Let's be honest: It's not easy. Life happens! There are so many things which may distract us from our end goal - work, obligations, life events. And yes, even Eid gatherings. In this episode, recognizing these challenges, we discuss sustainable strategies to maintain our steadfastness upon Iman and good deeds as we did in Ramadan: ✅ What are some mindsets we can realign ourselves with, to keep up that momentum post-Ramadan? ✅ Handling distractions & reverting to bad habits: Now that the devils have been unchained, have we become unhinged? How can we keep our guard up, now that shaytan is roaming free and disrupting our iman? ✅ How do we know if our good deeds in Ramadan were accepted? What are some signs that we can look out for? ✅ How can we capitalize that sweetness of Ramadan - and replicate some of the good environment that induced and encouraged us towards becoming better people? .. and many more! ABOUT US: The Barakah Effect is a podcast where we discuss how to make the best out of our productivity, career, parenting, family, religion and life: How we can juggle all these moving parts, in order to achieve extraordinary success in dunya and akhirah. We are on a mission to inspire communities of high achievers striving for continuous growth and excellence: Here and Hereafter, through barakah as one ummah.
