Hope you enjoy!

We begin in the Name of Allah ﷻ, the Most Merciful and Compassionate,
We ask that He ﷻ sends Peace and Blessings upon our noble and beloved
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

How many people have prayed the night prayer while everyone else was asleep and continued praying until they broke down?

If you do that and still tell me you'll sin afterward, come and hold me responsible. Because if you dedicate just one night to Allah ﷻ, it will change your life for eternity. I'm telling you, it will change your life.

I know people whose entire lives changed in one night. They stood in prayer, cried, and talked to Allah ﷻ until they found themselves. And when you find yourself, you find God. God is in the heart of every human being. But if you're lost yourself, how can you find God? It's like the bumper sticker that says, "Don't follow me, I'm lost." If you're lost yourself, how are you going to find God?

May Allah ﷻ grant us tawfiq to turn to Allah ﷻ.

أقول قولي هذا وأستغفر الله لي ولكم، فاستغفروه إنه هو الغفور الرحيم
