Many months are passing, many days are flying by. This world is like a wind and the people are like the drifting leaf. It passes through many phases until it stops on a sudden object.
This obstruction [of enjoyment / desire] is of the Day of Judgment where nothing shall move without the command of Allah; all shall be accounted, with every phase of action recorded.
The wind scatters the people in different ways. The leaf passes through high and low until it reaches the ground of sorrow [Death]. The emotions are affected by the wind of this world.
But many seekers are strong and withstand the winds of Duniyah. They are like the mountains of strength; they stand strong and are built to withstand any wind. But their hearts remain soft inside to absorb the remembrance of [Sunnah].
Their hearts follow the wind of the Prophetic call, they travel to the places where he Sallallahu Alayhi Wassalaam goes, they are the prophetic followers in every way they are the seekers of success which brings the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wassallam’s happiness.
One should try to fast during the day and be submitted in worship at night.
One should perform Two Rakaats of Salah Tul Tawbah. Begging Allah for forgiveness for all shortcomings one has done in the past and seek forgiveness in the future with every breath.
Two Rakaats Salah Tul Shukr, thanking Allah for all the blessings of this life, as one can never be thankful enough.
Two Rakaats of Salah Tul Istikhara, beg Allah to guide us upon this life as one is always in need of their guidance.
Two Rakaats of Salah Tul Haajah (prayer of need), one should Beg Allah to keep us under the blessings of His Rahmah, bestowing us what we are in need of, what is good for us so we may die in the best of states.
After performing the Salah, perform these Tasbi Amaals:
10 x Durood
10 x La ilaha illallah
لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا ٱلله مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ ٱلله
10 x La ilaha illa anta subhaanaka inni kuntum minzaalimen
لاَّ إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ أَنتَ سُبْحَـنَكَ إِنِّى كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّـلِمِينَ
10 x Astagfirullah Alazi la ilaha illah Hu Al Hayyul Qayyum wa atubu ilayh
أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْحَىُّ الْقَيُّومُ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ
10 x Radi tu bilahi Raban wa bil islami deenan wa bi Muhammad [Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam] Nabiya
رضيت بالله ربا و بالإسلام دينا و بمحمد نبيا
10 x Wa la Howla wa la quwata illah billah
لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِٱللَّٰهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
10 x Durood
One should imagine the letter of his request is being sent to Allah Azzawajal, the request of forgiveness, thankfulness, guidance and helplessness. Beg forgiveness for all shortcomings in the remembrance of Allah.
Imagine your hearts calling Allah, as the blessed names of Allah are striking your body, awakening your entire soul in the realms of Allah’s remembrance.
Imagine the blessed names of Allah are flowing through your body, feeling the presence of Allah, so one is never alone. So never leave this presence. Do not leave this night as only one night of worship in your life, but make it a beginning of the start towards the closeness of Allah.
One should also try and perform 10 minutes of Munajaat. Conversing with Allah, telling Allah ones problems, and hardships that he may be going through, also seeking to eliminate the obstacle of ones disobedience in order to become closer to Allah.
Imagine the light of Allah’s name washing your body, washing away all the hardship and clearing the path to see the closeness of the righteous path. So run towards the kingdom of Allah, who awaits for your presence. Those who run with their souls will be the ones who shall achieve the pleasure of Allah.
The souls can only run / fly through purification. [Darkness is what drags the soul down. The grease of sin and the weight of disobedience are like rocks of grease always dragging a person down, so they become lazy and non responsive to the call of guidance]
So begin the flight towards Allah’s kingdom. Those who fail to travel shall be left behind [in darkness] they shall sink to the pits of Hell. [Those who fail to purify].
They only enjoy for a short period until their lives have expired. But those who fly, never wish to stop, they attain closeness before death.
For the seeker, death is the gift of meeting the Lord of All, Allah [Azzawajal].
One should perform the following Zikr during the night
1. ‘Allah, Allah’ - for 20 minutes
ٱللَّٰه
Call Allah with every part of your body. Imagine you are in the presence of Allah. Call Allah with all His qualities; imagine the blessed names are absorbing inside your heart. Imagine the blessed names are enlightening you and disintegrating darkness into radiance and fragrance of Remembrance. Those who call shall receive a special light of the names of Allah, surely for those who deserve.
2. ‘Radi tu bilahi Raban wa bil islami deenan wa bi Muhammad [Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam] Nabiya - for 20 minutes
رضيت بالله ربا و بالإسلام دينا و بمحمد نبيا
Thank Allah with submission, that they have received the greatest of gifts. It is to be able to know ones Lord [Allah was a hidden treasure who has revealed himself to us].
To be pleased in the religion of Islam and to have the greatest of guidance bestowed upon the Prophet [Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam].
Beg Allah that your heart is pleased in all the decisions of Allah and to die in the state of thankfulness of these Azkhars, so that one day Allah can be pleased with you.
Beg Allah that He becomes pleased with us in both worlds.
Imagine you are in the presence of Allah, in submission to the words of your request that our Lord maybe pleased with us.
That one has not pleased Allah the way one should.
Those who submit with true heart, they shall be the ones who will be raised on the day of Judgment as those who have sacrificed their lives for Allah, for surely Allah will please them.
One should also do the tasbi Amaals
100 x Astagfirullah Alazi la ilaha illah Hu, Al Hayul Qayyum wa atubu ilayh

Send Durood upon Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wassalaam) and his companions so you may attain the closeness to his Sallallahu Alayhi Wassalaam’s ways. Thanking Allah for the guidance received, begging Allah to keep you in the footstep of His ways.
Imagine you are walking towards Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wassalaam’s) Kingdom, following his footsteps until you reach his arms.
[How will you be if you were to see the Beloved. How would you go towards them? Will you walk or crawl? What will be your reaction as you move closer to the kingdom of their blessed arms? Will you be smiling or crying what will be your actions?]
Those who want the kingdom of Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wassalaam’s) closeness shall reach his arms in both worlds.
