I had such a delightful evening talking to my brother and bonding over spirituality. This is the first ramadan he's actually focusing and wanting to grow spiritually and I couldn't be happier 😭🤲🏼 so happy for him.

Sheikh Ibn Uthyameen رحمه الله said,

"Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has kept knowledge of Laylatul Qadr's occurence hidden for two great reasons:

To distinguish the truthful one in seeking it from the lazy one, because the truthful one in his seeking of it does not mind striving for ten nights in order to attain it, whereas the lazy one is lazy to stand in Prayer for ten nights for the sake of attaining one single night.

So that the Muslims can attain more reward by doing more good deeds, the more good deeds they do, the more the reward."

[Tafseer Juz 'Amma pg.273]

My two perceptions while observing/talking to people:

1. Omg this person's way of thinking is so unique and interesting

2. The human race has a chronic case of idiocy.

I like listening to inverts’ stories because they share the things that pull them to the religion Islam, which is something I constantly need even though I’m already a Muslim. The thing is, religion, like marriage, needs to be refreshed every now and then. Just like in marriage, you can’t say you love your spouse once in a lifetime and think that your love will now last forever. You have to express your love daily and reassure your spouse through acts of love, too. Likewise, with religion, we need our refreshments:

five daily prayers

have conversations with God, plead to him, ask for forgiveness, ask for guidance

ponder the Holy Quran because they are God’s words to us

read the history of the prophets and look up to them as role-models

And by listening to the stories of inverts, I get attracted to Islam the same way they do. I feel more motivated to please God.

I watched a video on psychology yesterday, it's about the experience of the psychologist who treated more than 200,000 patients!

Here are the things I learned:

The most challenging disease is obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).

Obama started the BRAIN project to study soul-body connection and from here began the quantum neurology field.

Humans can't come from nature and nature can't be our God. The reason being, according to a mathematical model developed by someone to see the condition of Earth if human extinct, the Earth becomes greener! Why would nature create something that destroys itself? Meanwhile, if bees were to be extinct, the Earth will turn into a wasteland in 50 years. This shows that humans come externally and were put here temporarily.

Our soul is like a software and our brain/body is the hardware. Without the software, the hardware is useless.

The best book to study things first is the Holy Quran. Through it you will get immense knowledge and you will stay on the right path while pursuing knowledge.

I want to be a content creator but I don't know how to be interesting enough to grow my channel. I don't know how to promote it. I'm scared nobody would notice or care about me.

Video games have gotten so boring. When it comes to PVP, it’s the same cycle of getting bad teammates and losing, or getting really bad enemies to the point it doesn’t feel challenging anymore. When it comes to PVE, it’s either too many single-player games or very boring/tedious game mechanics. I’m waiting for more multiplayer souls-like.

I feel sorry for those who don’t know the purpose of life, life after death and the existence of God. They constantly feel lost, miserable and not knowing how to cope well with adversities. They are so desperate to fill in their empty void with entertainment, unhealthy living habits and broken relationships. They are stuck in the vicious cycle and exhausts all secular solutions, not knowing their spiritual health is terminally ill. If only they knew the solution was to escape ignorance. But their arrogance prevented them. Truly, I feel sorry.

I realized how social medias have made us so addicted for attention and validation from others until it makes us sick inside if we don’t get a daily dose of it. While at the same time, being someone who’s full of ideas and deep thoughts I find it suffocating that no one is there to appreciate any of it. It’s like I’m wasting my intelligence by not using it or sharing my insights with others. On the same note, I’m scared I’ll fall into the same rabbit hole where I too, become desperate for attention and validation that I feel miserable when my posts don’t get any response. How do I strike a healthy balance?
