Bismillahirahmanirrahim.. 

Assalamualaikum wbt.

Sempena Hari Jumaat penghulu segala hari, saya nak kongsikan satu artikel dari Productive Muslim -Toward A Productive Ummah. iaitu bagaimana mahu menjadi Muslim yang Produktif..Semoga semua sahabat-sahabat beroleh manfaatnya juga..Insha Allah..:-)

oh Artikel tu dalam bahasa Inggeris, tapi dan bahasa yang mudah difahami.Insha Allah..

Yang pertama sekali, betulkan niat masing-masing dan target untuk menjadi muslim yang produktif, sentiasa membuat perubahan dan terus istiqamah supaya ia terus menjadi habit dan seterusnya kita akan mendapat manfaat sepanjang keidupan kita.Insha Allah. 

Aktiviti-aktiviti yang akan diterangkan selepas ini diumpamakan sebagai "roti dan mentega" (Apa tu?Maksudnya akan sebati dengan jiwa kita .) dalam menuju kasih sayangNya dan dalam meningkatkan tahap keimanan kita dari sehari ke sehari.:-)

1) Pray the Sunnah Prayers before and/or after Prayer:

I know it’s easier to just pray the obligatory prayers and rush out of the mosque! However, when we realise  the rewards we’re missing from not praying these Sunnah prayers we won’t leave them. Over the years I have learnt there’s only ONE way of getting yourself to pray these Sunnah prayers constantly: Get into the habit of praying them! They’ll soon become part and parcel of your Salah and your Salah will feel incomplete without performing these acts.

2) Remembrance of Allah after Salah

Again, it’s easy to rush out after Salah due to our busy lives, though if we are honest, how long does it take to recite the supplications after Salah? (The Answer: 5-7 minutes!). If you’re not sure what I’m referring to, you may find the supplications here. Nowadays you’ll find pocket notebooks/or phone applications with these supplications. Get into the habit of reciting them daily  after each Salah to enrich your Salah experience. 

3) Morning/Evening Remembrance of Allah:

 Step 2 is also included in this habit. There exists a beautiful set of duas/remembrances from the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) which he used to say before sunrise and after sunset. They are true stress relievers and energy boosters which never fail to make my days and evenings feel blessed.

  4) Night Prayer

 

Alhamdulillah, during Ramadan we have the wonderful Taraweeh prayers to attend. However, outside of Ramadan there are many opportunities to still obtain the reward of the night prayer. If you’re new to night prayer or you don’t pray it constantly during the year, make sure you try to attend prayers each and every night in congregation at the mosque (particularly brothers), and give yourself a ‘no-excuse’ policy. Develop a habit of  praying Tahajjud and continuing to pray them for an entire 30 days; this will set you on better footing to continue with the Night Prayer for the rest of the year InshaAllah.

5) Duha Prayer 

Here’s a Productive Muslim’s top secret to a productive day: 2 rak’ahs known as the Duha prayer which you may pray at anytime after sunrise till before the sun reaches it’s zenith (around 30 minutes before Dhuhr). The reward of this prayer is similar to giving charity on behalf of every bone in your body, and the energy and buzz you feel during the day is amazing.

6) Supplications before you Sleep

You’ve just had a long day and you’re super tired. You climb into bed and you want to hit the sack… but wait! Before you do, can you give yourself just 10 more minutes to recite the supplications before sleeping? That’s all. Try them and find yourself experiencing the most beautiful sleep ever and waking up for Fajr easily, InshaAllah.

7) Reciting one hour of Quran each day

Notice: I said here recite one hour of!Quran!each day an not one juz’ or one Surah. The amount of!Quran!you read is not as important as the quality of your understanding. If you spend one hour reciting one verse but understand it fully, that’s more important and beneficial then reciting lots of Quran at break-neck speed yet not understanding a word.

So there you go, 7 spiritually productive habits you can develop throughout the year starting from TODAY!

Wallahualam.
