Are you building your house in Jannah? 🚧🏡

Asalamu Alaykum Minara Friends!

Another week, another opportunity to draw closer to salah and enrich our spiritual journey!

As Muslims, we constantly strive to align our actions, thoughts, and intentions with the teachings of Islam. One pivotal aspect of this journey is recognising the transformative power of Fajr, the pre-dawn prayer. We’ll be diving a little further into today’s email!

Here’s what’s in this week’s newsletter drop:

How Fajr Can Transform Your Life

We’ve been pondering on a particular question this week:

“What’s the first thing you do when you open your eyes each morning?”

While so many of us reach for our phone, check notifications, or scroll through social media, how often do we rush to Salah to express gratitude for the gift of another day?

Fajr is not just a ritual; it's a daily reminder to place Allah at the centre of our lives. Engaging in this daily practice steers us toward a life filled with a deep sense of purpose.

Think of Fajr as our daily rebirth, a chance to start anew, with Allah as our only guidance.

When the rest of the world is asleep, let us wake up and set that beautiful tone for the rest of the day. 💌

Sweetness of Salah Series: Building Your House in Jannah

Having a house in Jannah is the dream, right?

Well, did you know that by praying the 12 Sunnah Rak’ahs daily, you are constructing your very own palace in Jannah? ❤️

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: “Whoever prays twelve Rak’ahs in a day and night, a house will be built for him in Paradise” (Muslim).

👇 These Sunnah prayers are:

- 2 Rak’ahs before Fajr

- 4 Rak’ahs before Dhuhr and 2 after

- 2 Rak’ahs after Maghrib

- 2 Rak’ahs after Isha

Remember, these Sunnah prayers are a way to draw closer to Allah, seek His forgiveness, and work towards securing your abode in Jannah.
