To A New Beginning, inshAllah.

@ssalamoalekum, 

HAPPY NEW YEAR brothers and sisters in faith!

12 months have gone by. The year1431 A.H is behind us now; 1432 A.H. is the new present - a new beginning, inshAllah. Time has been created as a witness. It records everything but speaks none; a silent witness. It will begin to unravel upon us; turn back and spiral into itself, as the Judgment Day would arrive. And then, it shall testify before Allah (swt) about us - good or bad, that we have to decide.

And so it is about time we take time by the horns; a raging bull that it is, and break its run. It is about time we utilize each passing moment to ponder, reshape, enact and reflect as good Believers - as good human beings. Each Islamic year gives us a new chance - 12 blessed months full of countless opportunities to reshape our destiny. Do we sleep through it in ignorance? Only waking to attend to the menial routine of material life? Or do we live each moment fully and enrich ourselves in knowledge and good deeds at the end of the lunar cycle?

If you haven't done anything for your Hereafter as yet - this is a wake up call. This is a new beginning. Make some wholesome resolutions this year and live through them. Embedded in this blessed year; as all others that have preceded since 1431 years ago, are blessed times that can take you to those gardens beneath which rivers flow. It's a free of cost; all expenses paid trip if you know how to invest now in all the right times and places.

Repentance is always the best way to start and of course a promise to never commit the same mistakes again. Next, is to schedule a proper way of life. There is no shame in making a To-Do list for your daily life because every good Muslim's life is planned.

YOUR NEW YEAR TO-DO LIST

There should be timings designated for:

1. Religious study and reflection
2. 5 times prayers
3. Self Grooming and Care
4. Work
5. Family life
6. A leisure activity

If you are neglecting of the areas then there are major stakes you are risking. They may be your Lord (swt), your loved ones, your future, your financial stability and above all ... your SELF.

May Allah (swt) forgive our past, strengthen our present and illuminate our future with the light of Imaan and Taqwah, inshAllah. Ameen summameen.

Sisterly Yours,
