Dry Bough


Whether it is the terror of oppression and barbarity or the fear of the destruction wrought by natural catastrophes, in all situations, seek to discern their underlying causes with discernment. Instead of squandering time on superficial measures, utilize all your abilities in accordance with the guidance of the Quran and Sunnah, and proceed with steadfastness upon the Straight Path.

Allah says in Surah Al-Shoora:

"And whatever strikes you of disaster is due to what your own hands have earned; but He pardons much." (Ash-Shura 30)

The Qur'an also provides the remedy:

"And turn to Allah all of you, O believers, that you might succeed."
(An-Nur 31)

When a community, ensnared in the harrowing depths of sin, turns toward God in sincere repentance, acknowledging its transgressions with remorse, and through tears of contrition purifies itself, renewing its covenant with God, this state is denoted in the Quran as Tawbah (repentance). Repentance, in this context, serves as the definitive remedy for safeguarding oneself from the various afflictions, trials, and existential fears.

With mindful presence, invoke God, directing your heart, mind, emotions, and thoughts toward the Divine. Engage with full focus and intention, fostering a profound connection with Allah, and let every aspect of your life serve as a manifestation of this sacred relationship.

The Prophet (P.B.U.H) shook a dry twig with great force, causing all its leaves to fall. He then remarked, "The sins of those who establish prayer fall away in the same manner as the leaves of this dry twig have fallen." Following this, the Prophet (P.B.U.H) recited the following verse from the Quran:

"And establish salah at the two ends of the day and during the hours of the night. Verily, good deeds expunge misdeeds. This is a reminder for those who take heed."(Hud, 114)

When a profound connection with Allah the Almighty is established, the human heart attains a state of inner tranquility, and an enduring cascade of serenity envelops the individual. Within the domain of spirituality, Qiyam al-Salah is conceptualized as the act of forging and maintaining an unbroken bond with Allah in every circumstance and action. Through the practice of Salah, one seeks proximity to the Divine, for the devotee is at their closest to the Lord during the act of prostration.
