Assalaamualikum Friend,
I hope you had a wonderful week Insha'Allah!
This week, I decided to focus on various topics including Tawba & Istighfar, the Tafsir of Surah Layl, Aisha RA, Spirituality, and much more.
Often times, in the hustle & bustle of life, we tend to focus so much on the Dunya and unfortunately, we don't give spiritual nourishment to our Soul.
So the question begs, how do you know whether you are headed in the right direction or not? How does one make sure that they gain closeness to the Creator without losing out on Dunya? Read on to learn more!

Don't Gain the World & Lose Your Soul |
|
Okay, so how does one gain the world and lose the soul? Does this mean that you are so distracted by the Dunya that you forget to nourish your soul? Does it mean you are too concerned with worldly matters that you forget your Akhirah? Does it mean that you gain all the materialistic goals but lose out on your spiritual goals?

Tawbah & Istighfar (Repentance & Forgiveness) |
|
Allah (SWT) created human beings with a weak nature. It’s our duty to seek sincere tawba (repentance) and perform istighfar (forgiveness) as frequently as possible, Insha’Allah. It’s inevitable that we are tempted and fall into sins, and Shaytan is always inciting us towards performing sins.
