Wa alaikum assalam wa rahmatullah
Thank you so much, Shaykh Salman – for the lesson and this post. The session has had a real impact on me so far this week, alhamdulillah. Reflecting on the fact that I’m joining the entire universe in worship when entering salat has been very powerful and motivating.
My takeaway from the first session: I want us (me and my family) to experience the natural world so that we see the signs of Allah, recognise Him, cultivate an understanding of Him (know Him), love Him and thus feel utterly compelled to WORSHIP Him. I need to reinstate my intentions behind all my activities: allotment, homeschooling, EVERYTHING in fact. SubhanAllah. Do I go to the beach for a bit of escapism, or do I travel there to experience His signs?
