It’s Time to Reset
Jummah Mubarak, sis! You've been on the move nonstop this summer — from one place to another, packing, unpacking, adjusting, and navigating all the changes. But have you paused lately? Truly paused? Sometimes we get so caught up in the momentum of doing that we forget to just be.
As you prepare for your next prayer, take a moment — an intentional, quiet moment — to slow down. Let each movement in your salah be more than a gesture. Let it be a surrender. Linger a little longer in sujood. Stay a few extra minutes after your salaam. Sit with your thoughts, your emotions, your gratitude, and your needs — and offer them to your Lord.
Because the true reset? It's not found in a vacation, a beach day, or a change of scenery. The real reset is with Allah (SWT). Your heart will find its calm, not in catching flights or checking off to-do lists, but in those quiet, sacred moments of connection with your Creator.
So no matter how far you travel — across cities, states, or oceans — your closest destination will always be the prayer mat.
May this Jummah bring you tranquility, clarity, and nearness to Allah, ameen.
"Indeed, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest."
— Surah Ar-Ra’d (13:28)
“Alaa bidhikrillahi tatma'innul quloob” — the hearts that long for clarity, healing, and stillness will find it in dhikr, in prayer, in reconnecting with their Lord.
So the next time you rise for salah, don’t rush through it. Slow down. Let each takbir, each sujood, each du’a be a moment of sacred reconnection. Linger in your prostration. Stay a little longer in your du’a. Pour out your thoughts to the One who listens without tiring.
No matter how many cities you cross or suitcases you carry, your soul needs something deeper than movement. It needs grounding. And the truest, most lasting reset will always be with Allah (SWT).
Even the busiest heart can find calm — if it turns back to Him.
May this Jummah bring you serenity, strength, and sincere nearness to the One who knows you best. Ameen
