Assalam alaekum waramatullahi wabarakatu, dear sis,
Trust you are well, striving and thriving, In shaa Allah.
All is well over here, Alhamdulillahi. As we countdown to the Pockets of Time workshop on Sunday, in shaa Allah, we are tying up all the loose ends and prepping like never before to give you the best workshop we can! It really is a great honor to conceptualize and execute an idea inspired by Allah and for the sake of Allah. May Allah make it super beneficial for all the attendees and speakers too! WE ARE EXCITED, I TELL YOU!
This weekend really was just meal prepping, doing house chores, attending class and trying to calm down and breathe before the day - which we have been planning for, for 6 whole weeks - kicked in. On Sunday though, I felt like I needed a boost and decided to watch a Khutbah by Suleiman Hani on The Pursuit of Balance - a topic I am forever interested in. That talk was everything! I was switching between Evernote and the Yaqeen app as swiftly as I could, trying to get all the gems saved. There could not have been a better reminder of my purpose on earth. By the time I was done, I had whipped out my journal and done an assessment of all the activities I was spending time on, FAM! We cannot leave these things to chance. My review and reflections also led me to draw up some questions for you to reflect on:
Have you ever wondered how intentional you are?
Have you ever attempted to take stock of all you have?
Have you then wondered what you are using that to seek the Aakhirah?
Have you ever actively thought of the deeds you will present to Allah?
Now, have you thought of what you are leaving behind?
It is so easy for our minds to quickly go to all the things we do not have and our never-ending list of wants. Let me give you one thing you do have right now, TIME.
Every day, you have 24 hours, how are you using it to secure your Aakhirah?
When we put together The Pockets Of Time Workshop, it was with a clear intention to help you find time for things that are matter, we know what a huge blessing time is and we know how it can help us secure our Hereafter, In shaa Allah. We know that this is one resource that, when used well, it can at least give us a fighting chance on the Day of Judgement. We know we cannot go there perfect, we will never be, but we can go to Allah with how much we tried.
This is our final call for you to join us to try.
Join us on Sunday, Oct. 30th, 2022.
I pray that Allah blesses you with barakah in your time and makes it easy for you to use your hours to strive in His cause. Aameen.
I leave you in Allah's care,
One of us at Ibadahplug.
