Ramadan

Let us admit that not only didn't we reach a bit of the acts of worship that prophet Muhammad did, but also the feelings he had towards Allah, the way he cringed to Allah when praying and his forethought when he listened or read verses* of Quran.

Where do we find ourselves in the prophet's companions* ? Where in them when their hearts and bodies shivered* when they stood in the hands of Allah?

We don't feel by heart neither the greatness of Allah Almighty, or even his mercy. To view the other side of the coin, how do we seek pleading* and meditation* if we don't even build the base? How do we seek them if we don't work on enriching our souls with feeling Allah's majesty and greatness? How do we seek them if we don't keep on training our hearts to supplicate* to the creator.

If we have the souls, hearts, and bodies entreating and asking for Allah's satisfaction and contentment*, then we'll have hearts connected to Allah in every moment and each second.

When even our intestines are begging Allah to forgive them; when we have each bone of the 360 bones craving for* Jannah; when every blood capillary is yearning for* pardon; when literally all our organs pray for Allah, we can feel content that a goal has been reached successfully.
