Top tip: to achieve habit of tahajjud, start by setting 3am alarm but only to open eyes & say astaghfirullah 3x, then go back to sleep. 0 effort but still dua in final 3rd of night + getting used to waking up. Increase slowly (eg dua, sujud) till you reach wudu + actually praying

A small tip that’s helped me recently: put your phone away before you pray. That way, when you’re done, you don’t have it on you to pull out straight away as per usual habit. Instead, you’ll find yourself with a few seconds to do some dhikr. It might just become your new habit.

Big intentions for small deeds. This is how we small-timers win. Smile at mum, £2 in charity, "alhamdulillah" for no reason. But intend big: to see Allah's face, be with the prophets, for Jannat al-Firdaws. Then believe, with confidence, that Allah will give it all, and He will.

Hardship builds character. Many prophets' lives were filled with grief and sorrow. It's a key tool Allah uses to train his most beloved slaves. If anything, strong faith IS to experience severe sadness, but whilst maintaining belief and channelling it as dua + trust in Allah.

The father of Yusuf (a.s), Yaqub (a.s) had more certainty and trust in Allah than anyone of us has. Still, he wept until his eyes went sore. On the other hand some Muslims blame others for being emotive and blackmail them under the pretense of needing to have "stronger faith".

The Quranic paradigm is clear. Allah gives and takes life. Life does not mark victory, and death does not mark defeat. The best strategy is not *necessarily* the one that preserves life; it is the one that pleases Allah most, even if, and perhaps especially if, it leads to death.

فالمحب الصادق يرى خيانة منه لمحبوبه أن يتحرك بحركة اختيارية في غير مرضاته وإذا فعل فعلا مما أبيح له بموجب طبيعته وشهوته تاب منه كما يتوب من الذنب — ابن القيم الجوزية في مفتاح دار السعادة
