Take a Minute; Breathe…

Sitting alone in a quiet room, I close my eyes..
I am trying to relax;
I am reading Durood;
Slowly I feel my mind beginning to relax;
I feel peace coming over my entire body;
I whisper softly, “Allah-Hu-Akbar”
I continue, the world is slowly slipping away with each new breath;
I feel the power of each word, my body is totally relaxed;
I start reading, “Al- Mu’min” (The Giver of Peace);
I continue reading it over and over till I let everything go, nothing bothers me, Allah is my protector, I am at peace with myself.
Allah-Hu-Akbar, I discover my renewed self, I am revitalized, regenerated and fully soothed.
I am ready to face the world. I feel true peace.

Our lives have become so busy and stressful. We rush through everything, even our salaah. This life is a gift and we can only appreciate the true beauty of it if we keep reflecting and getting our priorities into perspective. We just need to take a minute, stop and breathe. Remember Allah, and Allah will remember you.
