The ˹true˺ servants of the Most Compassionate are those who walk on the earth humbly, and when the foolish address them ˹improperly˺, they only respond with peace. ˹They are˺ those who spend ˹a good portion of˺ the night, prostrating themselves and standing before their Lord. They are˺ those who pray, “Our Lord! Keep the punishment of Hell away from us, for its punishment is indeed unrelenting [Quran 25:63-66].

Put your trust in the Almighty, Most Merciful, Who sees you when you rise ˹for prayer at night˺, as well as your movements ˹in prayer˺ along with ˹fellow˺ worshippers. He ˹alone˺ is indeed the All-Hearing, All-Knowing. [Quran 26: 217-220]

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) advocated the practice of dhikr, urging his followers to engage in constant remembrance of Allah. His teachings encouraged reflective moments, prompting believers to contemplate the signs of Allah's creation and fostering gratitude. Muslims believe that spiritual upliftment is achieved through worshipping Allah in the manner demonstrated by the prophets. The Prophet's example serves as a guiding light for those seeking spiritual growth through dedicated worship, reflection, and gratitude.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

One of the reasons, why so many people are away from meditation, is a yoga mat. Yes, a yoga mat.

We think meditation cannot be done without a mat, that we need a quieter place, a corner in the house, and an expert instructor, etc. etc. R E L A X. . Fortunately, that's not true sister. Take a D E E P breath. Congratulation you just meditated. Let's try one more time (Oh! you already did) but this time relax your shoulders, inhale deeply and exhale slowly.

Wow... How do you feel? You are in the present moment. Right? And that's it. You just killed your stress for a few seconds. You can do it any time you want and anywhere you want. Y E S .. Even while driving.

Inhale deeply and exhale slowly. A virtual yoga mat is free with this book. You can spread it wherever you want, whenever you want. Walking, cooking, dusting, traveling, commuting, driving, lying on the bed, or while you are waiting for your five-time salah (Muslim Prayer).

Why we don't meditate?

We create so many mental hurdles. We create so many imagined dependencies. That’s why our motivation can only push us for a few days before our enthusiasm gets stabbed by the hand of procrastination with the dagger of excuses. Most of the meditation and physical fitness commitment is limited to New Year resolution or at most for a few weeks; before exhaustion and boredom takes over.

Imagine your morning routine. You rush to the bathroom, brush your teeth, woke up your kids, while preparing coffee and breakfast, you assist your kids to get ready, and that rush stays with you for the whole day or If you are professional or working women, you commute, drive, and face pressure of deadlines, and professional commitments, that comes with the compliments of stress, frustration, and anxiety. and a happy day passes by. What left after that is TV and social media, the convenient sources of anxiety and depression at your fingertips. Before going to bed you are exhausted, stressed, just to wake up next morning to live the same routine. That’s of course; if you are lucky to have a good night's sleep (Rare these days).

I am not going to ask you to go to the gym after a tiring day or shhh your kids and find a peaceful corner in your home to spread yoga mat. You know all these things are good, an hour in a gym, 30 minutes jog every day, meditation, no sugar coffee, green tea and a glass of water empty stomach. But you know as well that you have already tried it for a few days before you lost the momentum and you are back to your old way of living. It will be easier to start and stick to all these good habits if you honestly finish this book.

What if I tell you, you can be healthier, less stressed and relaxed by making tiny changes in your life? A small step like changing the place of the Quran in your home, taking a deep breath whenever you remember or moving your Smartphone app icon from home screen to app screen, disabling the fingerprint unlock of your Smartphone and changing the mobile password.

Relax and Read slowly. (good. you are taking a deep breath) Don’t rush, you will enjoy it more. I recommend you to read one chapter a day. Give yourself a whole day to absorb the message and try the suggestion before going to the next chapter.

[Try it]

You will find this sign everywhere in this book. Promise that you will give it a shot when you see this sign and I promise that you will see the change in you instantly. Insha’Allah

My effort through this book is to accomplish the desired mediation result without actually breathing in and breathing out on a yoga mat. You might not find anything new in this book. This book is written to help you bring little thinks into your notice which we usually ignore in our daily life. And to help you built small but powerful habits to become more mentally, emotionally and spiritually fit. I will keep it simple and short. You may also find it repetitive sometimes, that’s because I want to make a point.

Ready? Spread your virtual yoga mat and take a deep breath.

The extravagant are brethren of the devils, and the devil is ever ungrateful to his Lord. al-Isra` 17:2

Charity brings peace in life, A poor homeless person could only think of food. A middle-class a salaried person could only think of paying bills. A person with tones of extra cash always thinks of getting a new gadget, expensive cars, and luxury furniture and to get more wealth. Yes, you can find the stupid person who buys gadgets and luxury stuff on the credit card. These are the people you think they are rich. (it is different than being really rich.) The value of money does not depend on the volume but the unfulfilled desires or need one has. do you know That the device you are reading this book could worth months of basic supply for some?

Change your paradigm Next time when you are tempted to buy new Smartphone, check the price of silver of the month you bought your last expensive phone and check how much the silver price has been appreciated, compare it to the price of your phone now or if you have settled with less expensive car and invested the difference in silver bars how much you might have saved in one year's time.

I am not suggesting you to invest in silver or any such thing, I am only giving you a new perspective to think about. There is nothing wrong with investing or saving money, on the other hand earning Halal is a religious obligation. While your gadgets or furniture will depreciate, your investment might earn you something. There is another better way; you can deposit the money in BOA (Bank of Akhrat); by giving in charity of course. Even better, invest in charity with compounding effect (Sadaqah Jariyah: ceaseless charity) “When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (ceaseless charity); a knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him (for the deceased).” (Muslim)

Just remember this. If you are worried or in pain, nothing can please you. Imagine if you have a severe head ache and you are sitting in front of the most expensive home theater and your favorite movie is playing, how much would you enjoy it?
