*Spiritual adjustments*
*Humans are created from clay. So adjustments is possible to our daily routines.*
عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أخْبَرَنِي أبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أنَّ أبا هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه، قالَ: قالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «ما مِن مَوْلُودٍ إلّا يُولَدُ عَلى الفِطْرَةِ، فَأبَواهُ يُهَوِّدانِهِ، ويُنَصِّرانِهِ، أوْ يُمَجِّسانِهِ، كَما تُنْتَجُ البَهِيمَةُ بَهِيمَةً جَمْعاءَ، هَلْ تُحِسُّونَ فِيها مِن جَدْعاءَ» ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أبُو هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه: ﴿فِطْرَةَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي فَطَرَ النّاسَ عَلَيْها لاَ تَبْدِيلَ لِخَلْقِ اللَّهِ ذَلِكَ الدِّينُ القَيِّمُ﴾ [الروم ٣٠]»صحيح البخاري**_Rasouloullah Swalallahou Alaihi Wasallam said: “All babies are born on the natural instinct of Islam. So afterwards, the parents convert the child jew or Christian or fire worshipper…Then Hazrat Abu Hureirah r.a. mentionned the ayah: “This faith being the nature designed by Allah Ta’ala on which He has created mankind(Surah 30:Verse 30)._*(Sahih Bukhari)
*That is why Muslims does not need any ceremony to make the child muslim. The child need only islamic education and instructions. But a Christian or a Jew has a converting ceremony of their children: baptism.*
*Our natural instinct is on the way of living of Islam. That is why, our body and mind are at peace when following Islam. Prostrating to our Creator, the Creator of the universe, the only Manager of earth , skies
, our body functions and the sea
. We make His tasbeeh-We praise Him-joining all creatures that are all making His Tasbeeh.*
سورة الإسراء (١٧): آية ٤٤]تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ السَّماواتُ السَّبْعُ والأرْضُ ومَن فِيهِنَّ وإنْ مِن شَيْءٍ إلاَّ يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِهِ ولكِنْ لا تَفْقَهُونَ تَسْبِيحَهُمْ إنَّهُ كانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورًا “*_Every single atom/existence proclaim His Purity with His Glorification.”_*(17:44)
*All this to tell you that you can make adjustment closer to sunnah your daily routine of waking up, sleeping , your ibaadahs and conviction on Allah Ta’ala because simply it would be on your natural instinct and also your mind and body would be in its proper place, at optimum equilibrium.*
*So try to be on bed after esha leaving all your screens, be up when the sky is still dark in the early morning and join the choral of tasbeeh that every single atom, every singe leaf and every single bird , fish and animal is doing around us. Prostate yourself longly, with weeps and istighfaar to thank Him of blessings on you.*
*Rasouloullah Swalallahou Alaihi Wasallam was sinless and yet used to spend a night long of salaah with weeps and crying for forgiveness and then would say : “_Shouldn’t I be a grateful servant of Allah?_*(Bukhari)
حَدَّثَنا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ الفَضْلِ، أخْبَرَنا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، حَدَّثَنا زِيادٌ هُوَ ابْنُ عِلاَقَةَ، أنَّهُ سَمِعَ المُغِيرَةَ، يَقُولُ: قامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتّى تَوَرَّمَتْ قَدَماهُ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ ما تَقَدَّمَ مِن ذَنْبِكَ وما تَأخَّرَ، قالَ: «أفَلاَ أكُونُ عَبْدًا شَكُورًا»صحيح البخاري
*So adjust yourself to the sunnah pattern of waking up, sleeping, eating, 5 times daily salaah timing, living on halaal, going in the path of Allah and be content and satisfyingly thankful on what He has given you as health, wealth and partner.*
*Human being is a plug that can only be plugged into the corresponding imaan and sunnah socket. Only then that mind, body and soul feel at peace and content and in its proper place. So if not clicked onto imaan and sunnah then you feel your life like an unfit stranded plug
lying around.*
