Let us Promise something

Fun by Billow 926

I felt down, lazy and upset the entire day of Eid. There were countless messages and no phone calls. Countless wishes and no heart felt hugs. So much talks and no meanings. Inside we left each other a bit in our WhatsApp groups, talked each other down a bit and back bite each other a little. No not you, or that friend or my relative, I am telling you about me. I did not find honesty in my Eid wishes. Inside I felt bad for paying superficial homage, but above, on the surface, it was a fake smile, dodging arguments and hurting friends. Eid was not lived how I wanted it.

Let us lit 🔥 back the days of Ramadan everyday until next year’s Ramadan. Let us find the same mornings and same gatherings at night. Let us become the same tribe we were just 2 days before, the rest of the year. Until next Ramadan let us promise ourselves we will carry the ornaments of this blessed month of love, smiles and happiness over our heads like a jewel. Let us feel great once again and make these 2 promises:-

1. Wake up for Fajar in time

2. Do hard-work everyday

Wake Up Early

Sunrise by Frank Mckenna

Fajr left us at 0350 hours. Here in Gujranwala, it has moved 25 minutes further late into the day. It was going fine, but now that we have hampered our day a little, let us stay committed to this new timing of 0415 hours. Everyday, let us make a promise, we will rise 30 minutes before Fajar. Take a good shower. Recite some, walk some and talk some. Let us start our day, with a smile and a vision.

It did not happen yesterday. I was late from Fajar. I felt the parts of me losing away from me. I was at loss. I ended up cribbing, hurting and pinching. The day, the 30 minutes of morning, impacted my entire life cycle. The missing of Fajar prayer timings, lead me to chaos and I did not find fire inside me.

Let us join hands, walk in a group, together, like a clan, and move to victory. Where we find more wealth, more life and more fun. The part we find missing today, let us move to it, everyday together. Let us push myself, yourself, others and bring us to our morning prayer. Before the rise of the sun, let us win it all. Let us quench our thirsts. Let us walk like a fighter, to our dreams, together like a band of brothers. Instead, we win it, let us take the promise. Let us become a moving momentum. Let us be the momin, the muslim, the lover and the fire, that heals the inside of us and conquers it all.

Make a promise starting today, that you will not miss your Fajar prayer until next Ramadan. One Promise and you will find it all fixed in a year.

People overestimate what they can do in an year. And they underestimate what they can do in a decade.

Do hard work

Rich Life by Olav Tvedt

It is not easy. Life is difficult this way. Without Ramadan and without the night prayers together, life is tough. It is getting out of your hands. Unlike Ramadan, time is going away. You are losing it today. Believe me, one more day wasted equals an entire Ramadan wasted. You won’t be able to make up to it. You won’t be able to find the same zeal, passion and love; you found in this month. If you stop, today, you will not get back on track tomorrow. Get back up on your feet. Get back up, moving. Get back up, running and hunting the weak, the poor and the troubled. Gat back up, to roll yourself out, like you rocked and rolled in the month of Ramadan.

Become a roar, once again. Become a song, that is loved, embraced and accepted once again. Let us get out, break the shackle and rule once again. This month will come back. You will find the abundance rolling back. Just don’t feel down. Just don’t argue long. Just don’t find the happiness where it doesn’t exist. Just stop there. Halt there. Look back. You just had the abundance. Few days down, you will have it all. If you do not give up, you will find it all under your feet, beside you and around you. The wealth, the money, the charisma, the grace of Prophet, inside your heart, if you live like you lived in the month of Ramadan.

Let us make a promise, we will work hard. Harder than ever. We will keep our phones from hampering our work. We will keep the noise of the TV from hurting our streaks. We will keep the people from lowering us down. And we will not look up, until we have done the hardwork due for the day. Let us make this promise and live towards a guy, you see in yourself who is driving this expensive car to a beautiful home and a lovely wife.

Conclusion

Launch Pad by Olav Tvedt

This is the same day. Same sun. Same birds and same chirps. Everything is same. You have everything available to you like it did yesterday. Nothing has changed. If you did not take a jump yesterday, it will not change today. Take the jump today. If you did not find happiness yesterday, crave it starting today. If you missed on your goals yesterday, crush your goals today. If you failed yesterday, hit success today. Rock, like a rockstar. Roll like a moving stone. Gain the momentum. Jump and get hurt. Talk and fail. Launch and feel ugly. Act and repent. But do something that moves you today. Do something that saves you from another pit, another thud and another day of living a lazy day.
