The closest we can get to Allah in this Dunya is in Salah, particularly in prostration. We lower our knees and forehead to the earth, to the dirt the lowest of all elements. Not only does it instill humility in the depths of our souls but it also reminds us where we are from. We have been created from the earth, born in the wombs of our mothers, taking the journey of life and soon to taste death, returning us to the depths of the earth. Whereupon reality will become crystal clear…

Riyadus Saliheen
So it’s been a while since I’v updated, I just can’t make up my mind on what to post about. I came on my blog and I ‘noticed’ that I last posted on January 5th, that’s when I signed in on to blogger.com. And since I’v been reading/teaching from Riyadus Saliheen (with commentary) on our weekly sister’s halaqah’s I thought I’d share a bit and summarize from each chapter inshaAllah. I’ll start with a short summary of Imam Nawawi’s biography, which I will post later today inshaAllah, I just have to check a few things before I post, so keep checking for updates!
