Devotion
A Threefold Reflection
From insight, to imagery, to supplication.
Metaphor — The Setting Sun
As the sun slowly disappears beyond the horizon, another day of our life also disappears and never returns. We notice the sun setting, yet often forget that our lifespan is setting as well.
Lesson: Each sunset is a reminder that our remaining time is decreasing.
Prayer
“O Allah, grant me a good ending, and take my soul when You are most pleased with me.”
Muḥāsabah
Self-Examination
An honest look at where our heart's energy is truly directed.
Ask yourself honestly
- 1
What am I preparing more for: my next worldly appointment or my meeting with Allah?
- 2
Which occupies more of my thoughts, time, and resources?
