interesting is what i call it.. not assimilated yet but at a glance i am liking the advice.
1- When I am clean from my mind and from my heart, at such times, I feel myself very close to Allah. This is because, if we have problem in our minds and heart then it may lead us to go astray. 2:10-11, 3:7 [chapter : verse]
2- I start reading AlQuraan by seeking refuge in Allah from Shaitaan 16:98 and these are the words I say for the same as in 23:97-98.
3- I always try to follow Arabic Text, even when I used to read translations, and I used to follow multiple translations [lets say about 8 in different languages that I know by different translators, btw I know only 3-4 languages] to extract the closest meaning of the original text 12:2 and there is no problems in Arabic language 39:28
The best way I found to understand the exact meaning of the words used in Arabic in AlQuraan is to find the same rooted words and check its usage in different aayaats. That helps me a lot.
You can pray how Allah guides you by studying AlQuraan, you don't need to follow anyone 7:3 [rather you can take help from anyone] in the world, cause, Allah guides who He wills and His guidance is the only true and correct guidance 2:120, 39:37. So, better to get direct guidance from Allah.
And no need to pray Salaat in Arabic, you must understand what you SAY [not recite but say] in Salaat 4:43 and you are free to pray your Salaat in your own language, Allah understand all the languages. Through Salaat you can create a link between you and Allah, I believe that you can form such link in your own language strongly, instead of parroting other language. I firmly agree with this undertaking..
In fact, no book on the earth is needed to help to understand AlQuraan correctly. Allah said, there are lot of contradictions in any book other than AlQuraan 4:82 and when Allah is the One who gives you knowledge of AlQuraan 55:1-2, you don't need any other book.
You don't need to get confuse, listen to everyone but ask Allah for help and guidance [it is needed always] toward HIS true path. As I said above, if you are pure from your heart, sincere and honest to yourself, then you don't need to worry, Allah, will surely guide you, but please DO NOT RUSH, there is a time for everything from Allah and wait until Allah judges for you in every case. 10:109 and 20:114. very very true
You don't need to worry for where to take a start, you can read AlQuraan from anywhere, anytime, Allah knows what you need from guidance so, He will show you what you needed depends upon your base knowledge. Believe me, so many times you may get surprise, to get exactly what you were looking for, just by reading AlQuraan randomly from anywhere.
This is all happens because, Allah knows about us, He is our Creator.
I always ask others to study AlQuraan alone cause:
1- We may diviate from the path of Allah if we follow other books as they contain maximum contradictions 4:82
2- What do we need other books for, when we already have everything with us in detail and explained 16:89, 6:38, 6:114
3- We ask Allah for the guidance to the straight path 1:6, Allah said AlQuraan guides you to the straight path 17:9
Hence, no other books needed.
You can start from anywhere, even just by opening AlQuraan randomly from anywhere, that is really helpful, inshaAllah. If you are confused about anything, just seek Allah's help and keep that topic on hold and wait until Allah clarifies it for you 10:109 and 20:114.
Yes you take down notes of what YOU study by yourself to cross reference WHEN you find the similar topic while reading AlQuraan. I used to use marker to mark the words or aayaats straight in AlQuraan [hard copy] itself while reading by adding another sura and aayat number at the side [as side note] where the same word or similar aayat or same topics I find.
InshaAllah, it will help you a lot, again, please DO NOT RUSH it may not lead you anywhere but deviate from the true path of Allah.
My prayer has always been .... Praise Be to God Lord of the universe..Lord God, take me by the hand, Lord God show me where to go, Oh Lord let me not alone, Lest i go astray This is my essence -the voice of my soul.. This IS ME..

mercy
your wonders are great my Lord and your Mercy is intense.
As i watch the boy sleep. chocking with cold..
i am amazed and i ask myself
how does this all work..
indeed i have to agree my lord that
your wonders are great..
Your care for him
your love and protection on him
i thank You very much for it.
some persons are disbelieving but i choose to believe
that you my Lord are his lord
hat You my Lord are sustaining him and caring for him.
i never thought i would get pregnant
i never thought i would have children
when all the trials came to nought
even when i had never had any child before
even when i had never been pregnant before
when all the pressure was building inside me
all the anguish of seeing a period
the initial misery and jealousy in my heart# when i am told so and so are pregnant
the pressure from my husband asking my and patting my belly
asking for a child
even myself i did not think it could happen
though i was hopeful a part of me didn't know how it could happen
but my Lord.. the God of Zachariyah and John in the scriptures - heard my call
May thy name be glorified and praised always
when i see this boy - i know to thank and praise the O Lord
for indeed it is a mercy from you unto me.. this boy
and i thank you for this mercy and more from thee o lord.

lonely
Yes my Lord, I miss a sanctuary where I feel I can connecct to you. A place where I can pour my heart to you without shame or. Fear where I can speak to you.. And know that I am safe and secure.
I miss the mosque, not that I used to frequent it a lot but I would go when I had the chance- but in reality I didn't feel connected to you there anyways.. But I miss someplace like a mosque... I miss group worship..not that its do or die. But sometimes its a nice feeling to know that you are not the only person in the world.
God you are the only one devoid of partnership, you stand alone in your creation, you don't need anyone at all

Help me my Lord.. overcome my demons
Dear Lord,
truth be told that i am lagging behind in my obligations and i am ashamed to confirm that such it is.
i ask thee for strenght and patience and courage to continue with that which i must.
I ask thee for spirit to invigorate my life to forever praise, glorify and acclaim thee.
I beg of thee not to hasten retribution upon me for my forgetfulness, for what is my lack luster and for my tiredness.
these times of long days and short nights - the accumulation of looking after the boy are telling on me my Lord. it is not an excuse and there can never be an excuse where you my Lord are concerned.
evening prayers are becoming an issue for me - in that i am tired by the time comes and i want to sleep that i consiously seek your forgiveness as i fall asleep - i am drowsy to get up to do my obligation.
this time of long days and what is " no true dark night" also reinforces the 3vs 5 prayer issue.. but i dont want to say i am lazy to perform 5 prayers so i fall for 3... no ...
i will admit to myself that i have tried the 3 prayer and my heart felt at peace - that i could just pray to God, i was not bogged down by you have to do so many salat - i just prayed and done as many prostration as my spirit were able.
but i am still searching for a clue still searching in your words of scripture to try to understand so i can have clear guidance without ambguity without doubt.
By your grace, i will not be afraid to do that which i have to do by your grace i will stand strong..
Remember Lord some many years ago i asked of thee that when the crunch comes to the crunch - let me never forsake thee.. let me not deny thee - for Thou have never forsaken me and Thou have never denied me - you have kept me, looked after me, blessed me with they help and kindness and mercy....
if not for anything - if not for any fear of hell or promise of heaven... let me never forsake thee for just because Thou have never forsaken me... thou have always listened to me and By your grace and with the kindness that Thou does bestow Long may it continue in this life and in the next.
Keep guiding me to thee O lord to always remember to worship thee, to praise thee, to Glorify and acclaim thee - to magnify thy name for thy name is Good, thy name is great and thou My Lord are a merciful God.
help me to overcome my demons - for they are troubling me again... that which i thought i had a grip on is back to torment me - give me strength within to overcome - to stand fast and stand still - unshaken by desire or lust..
help me to get back to a routine - of night time meditation - help me and give me strength from thee.. keep me observant of thee... Like Mary in the scripture bless me and guide me to thee as i ask just like the wife of pharaoh - My Lord build for me a place with thee in paradise...
All Glory is Yours my Lord
all Praise, Authority and Kingship
In this Life and in the next
Be Thou Glorified My Lord.

Plea
when something weights heavily on my mind i run to you oh lord and i have spoken to you in my heart regarding this issue.
everything i believe is by your grace and my path in life is orchestrated and led by you.
i made you a secret call when my husband and family were pressuring me and you granted me a child that i have dedicated to you. his name alone is testament to your glory and mercy so that every day i am reminded that indeed the Most Gracious Lord is good and kind..
tomorrow he will be starting to be looked after during the day by a child minder..
My Lord you have led me to this woman.. she is the first person on the list of people i called.
for whatever reason i have chosen her as i let your guidance on the boy shine through.
when he was at her house, he felt at ease, was able to walk around and touch and allowed her to carry him.
which is unusual for the boy as he does warm to everyone.
My Lord you have led me tot his woman - Please let your grace and mercy be upon this woman and her household in looking after my boy. Please let him come to no harm or abuse or worry. Let him be secure and let him be at ease and find peace, let him enjoy as he should enjoy.
Lord please let him listen to her and not give her too much bother. Let him eat and sleep without fuss.
My Lord this woman that your fate has led me to - Bless her and give her the patience, and ease to look after my boy.. Let her treat him with kindness and with care.. i would like to say let her love him.. but i dont know if that is possible.. for she has children of her own.. but let her be fond of him.. Give her peace and security and let them gel well together..
My Lord my mother was looking after my boy before for me, Lord bless her with your magical blessings and thank her for me for looking after my boy and giving me the security and peace of mind to be able to go to work.. My Lord grant her your provisions of the best kind in this life and the next and bring her to thee..
My Lord i am worried, i know i should not be because i can say that when i say that the Most gracious is looking after my boy i know its true. it is not just a saying..; I have begged of thee and sought your protection on this child from thee. His welfare is overseen by thee, in that your grace, care and blessings is on him and will be on him by thy will.
you are my Lord, you are his lord, of that there is no doubt. Bless him O lord of mine, Guide him, keep him safe - in this crazy world of ours with crazy people and out of control urges - Protect him from harm/abuse. Keep him well, Keep him safe..
Keep me well and keep me safe too o Lord and help me to show him the best of examples, Help me to bring him up with the best of attitudes and Guide us both to your path.
Let life not be difficult for him. Let him find ease, Let the difficulties not be too weary for him, Let him be humble and Let him worship Thee, For all his life guide him and keep him to you.
Choose him, My lord just like you chose moses and guide him with humility and kindness just like the son of zakariya in the scripture...He is of your stock my Lord, to worship thee and praise thee, to glorify thee and uphold your scriptures..
As i am asking for my second,, My Lord please do not forget me too.. Guide me to worship thee, and keep me with thee to Praise thee, Glorify thee in all of my days.. That i can say hand on heart to anyone who cares to listen/read that The Most Gracious is my Lord, in this life and in the next.
