THE IMAAN REVIVAL CODE

A SHORT, NO-FLUFF, &


SIMPLE 5-STEP GUIDE
BACK TO ALLAH ‫عّز وجّل‬

Based entirely on the Qur’an and Sunnah

Onethentic
So You Believe, But You Feel Nothing?
You believe in Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬. You say La ilaha illallah with conviction.

You care about your Imaan.

You still pray your Salah, maybe not always on time, but you try.

You open the Qur’an but the words feel like they pass over your heart instead
of through it.

You make Du’a but there’s always a voice inside, saying:

“Is Allah really listening to someone like me?”

And in the middle of all that… you feel guilty.

Like you should be doing more. Like you’ve let Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬down.

Like you want to be more “spiritual” and “strong in deen” - but here you’re just
stuck in this cycle of trying, falling, and trying again.

But here’s the truth.

You're not broken. You're not a bad Muslim. You're just spiritually exhausted.

And you don’t know how to fix it.

You hear this advice all the time: “Just make more du’a!”, “Just have more
tawakkul!”, “Just have sabr”...

But what no one tells you is:

Imaan wears out. It needs a bit of time and effort to heal.


The Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said:

“Verily, the faith of one of you will wear out within him, just as a shirt
becomes worn out, so ask Allah to renew faith in your hearts.”

(Al-Mu’jam Al-Kabīr lil-Ṭabarānī, 14668)

Just like clothes fade and tear with time, your Imaan does too.

But here’s the good news:

It can be renewed. Repaired. Reignited.

This Guide is That Reset, In Shaa Allah.


This isn’t a checklist or another lecture filled with generic advice or temporary
motivation.

This is a gentle, highly-actionable, step-by-step framework - based on the


Qur’an and Sunnah - to help you reconnect with Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬in a way that feels
completely doable, real and actually lasts, In Shaa Allah.

Because chances are… if you’re reading this, it likely means your heart is calling
for something deeper.

You’re tired of the emotional highs and lows. You want something real... not just
temporary motivation, but a simple yet effective way to feel close to Allah
‫ عّز وجّل‬again.

That’s where the R.A.H.M.A. Framework comes in.


The R.A.H.M.A. Framework

It’s a simple, 5-step path built on timeless Islamic principles - no overwhelming


tasks or guilt-driven checklists. Just gentle shifts that open your heart again.

And I’ve called it RAHMA - because of course, everything begins with the
Rahmah (mercy) of Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬.

Here’s what it stands for:

R — Return to the Fara’id (Obligations)

A — Ask Correctly (Du’a Revival Framework)

H — Heart Work (Ikhlas + Reflection)

M — Micro Moments of Sunnah

And last, but the most important step:

A — Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬Alone (Pure Tawhid)

Each one is a soul-level reset, rooted in the Qur’an and Sunnah, that you can
start applying from today, and see a massive difference, in shaa Allah, even if
your heart feels heavy.

So let’s begin.
R — Return to the Fara’id (Obligations)
If you’re feeling spiritually lost, numb, or far from Allah ‫عّز وجّل‬, the best way
back isn’t to do more. It’s to return to what matters the most.

And what matters most… is the fara’id - the obligatory acts Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬has
made non-negotiable.

You don’t need to fast Mondays and Thursdays, memorize Qur’an, or wake up
for Tahajjud right now.

If you’re struggling to feel anything in your deen - just start by protecting the
five daily prayers.

They are your anchor. They are the foundation of your relationship with Allah ‫عّز‬
‫وجّل‬.

They are the rope you hold onto even when everything else falls apart.

The Messenger of Allah ‫ ﷺ‬said:

“The most beloved deed to Allah is prayer at its proper time.”

(Sahih Muslim, 85)

Notice that the Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬didn’t say “praying with full concentration” or “with
perfect Khushu’” - he said on time.

Even if you're praying quickly. Even if your mind wanders. Still show up.

Know that the One you’re standing before knows you and your heart better than
you do.

Now once you’ve built the habit of protecting your five daily prayers, even
imperfectly, then you can begin refining the quality.

But before we talk about that…

Let’s address something most men brush off:


Are you praying your Salah in the masjid… or just squeezing it
in wherever it fits your schedule?

Because when it comes to men, praying in congregation isn’t optional. It’s


obligatory.

The Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬took it so seriously that he once said:

“I was about to order the prayer to be called and for a man to lead the
people, then I would go with some men carrying bundles of wood to burn the
houses of those who do not attend the prayer (in congregation).”

(Sahih al-Bukhari, 644; Sahih Muslim, 651)

Let that sink in.

The Messenger of Mercy ‫ﷺ‬, the one who was soft even with hypocrites, was
prepared to burn down the homes of men who knowingly abandoned the
masjid.

Why?

Because to neglect the masjid is to turn your back on a core part of Islam’s
identity: brotherhood, humility, unity, and public submission to Allah.

The Sahabah ‫ رضي هللا عنهم‬understood this.

Abdullah Ibn Masʿūd ‫ رضي هللا عنه‬said:

"Whoever would like to meet Allah tomorrow as a Muslim, let him preserve
these prayers where the call to them is made. Verily, Allah has legislated for
your Prophet the ways of guidance, and they (the prayers in congregation)
are part of the guidance. If you were to pray in your homes like the one who
stays behind, you would be abandoning the Sunnah of your Prophet, and if
you abandon the Sunnah of your Prophet, you will go astray."

(Sahih Muslim, 654)

He then said that in their time, only a known hypocrite would miss the prayer in
congregation.
So here’s your wake-up call:

If you’re able-bodied… and there’s a masjid near you and the Adhan reaches
your ears…

…But you’re still choosing convenience over obedience…

Then you’re standing on extremely dangerous ground.

Yes, Allah is Most Merciful, but He’s also fully aware of our priorities.

If we can show up for work on time…

If we can commit to the gym…

If we can gather with friends for food or football…

Then what excuse do we have to skip His house?

Now, once your prayers are consistent, and you’ve made the masjid part of
your daily routine, then it’s time to go deeper.

Because there’s a next level and it’s called Khushū‘.

Khushū‘ isn’t about theatrical emotion or dramatic crying. It’s not about some
“super spiritual feeling” that floats down from the sky.

It’s about being present.

Standing in front of Allah ‫عّز وجّل‬, and actually realizing that you are.

And here’s the secret most people miss:

Khushū‘ doesn’t come from trying to “feel” more. It comes from understanding
more.

So if you’re ready, here are five high-impact, often overlooked khushū‘ tips - not
the generic kind, but the kind that actually shift how you stand before Allah ‫عّز‬
‫وجّل‬:
1. Visualize Who You’re Standing Before

Before you say "Allahu Akbar," imagine this:

The world around you fades.

You are now standing before the King of the kings. The Lord of Worlds. The
Exalted. The Everliving. The Almighty.

The Throne of Allah ‫ ​​عّز وجّل‬is right before you, more vast and magnificent than
anything you’ve ever imagined.

The earth trembles beneath you. The sky is split open. Billions stand in silence,
but right now, it’s your turn.

It’s just you and Him.

Then, Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬speaks. Directly to you.

No translator. No intermediary.

Every word you ever uttered… every prayer, every excuse, every moment of
heedlessness, it’s all laid open.

How would you pray… if you knew this meeting was real?

Because one day, it will be.

2. Before you say Takbeer, tell yourself: “This might be my


last Salah.”

The Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said:

"When you stand to pray, pray like a man bidding farewell."

(Sunan Ibn Mājah, 4171)

So imagine this:
This is your very last prayer.

Behind you is the Angel of Death, ready to capture your soul as soon as you
finish.

On your right is Jannah. On your left is Jahannam.

This is the salah that decides your fate.

How would you pray?

3. Engage with the Qur’an being Recited

Here’s a gem that will completely shift your focus in jamāʿah (congregational
prayer) - especially when the imam is reciting long surahs.

When the imam recites verses about Jannah, people of Jannah, or goodness,
don’t just listen passively, respond silently with this:

‫الَّلُه َّم اْجَع ْل َن ا ِم ْن ُه ْم‬

Allāhummajʿalnā minhum

“O Allah, make us from among them.”

And when you hear about Jahannam, punishment, or destruction, say:

‫الَّلُه َّم اَل َتْجَع ْل َن ا ِم ْن ُه ْم‬

Allāhumma lā tajʿalnā minhum

“O Allah, do not make us from among them.”

This keeps your heart actively engaged with the words of Allah and it
transforms salah from something you “stand through” to something your soul
responds to.

And over time, it trains your heart to react to the Qur’an naturally, even outside
of salah.
4. Learn the Meaning of what you’re saying and Slow down

Don’t rush Allahu Akbar.

Say it like you’re declaring war on your distractions.

When you say: “Alḥamdulillāhi Rabbil ‘Ālamīn”...

Picture everything He’s ever done for you. Your heart is beating. The roof over
your head. Your countless sins He hid.

Meaning gives life. Speed kills presence.

5. Switch up the Surahs.

Many Muslims default to Surah Al-Ikhlas or Al-Kawthar every time.

Try memorizing and reciting Surah At-Takāthur or Az-Zalzalah - something that


speaks about the Akhirah, death, accountability.

Let your own recitation shake you awake.

Implement these five tips, one at a time, and you’ll start to see the difference,
in shaa Allah.

And remember: Khushū‘ isn’t a switch you flip. It’s a fruit you grow slowly,
intentionally, patiently.

And it grows strongest on the tree of consistency.

Sometimes you’ll feel it. Sometimes you won’t. And that’s completely fine. We
all are humans.

What matters is you’re making a conscious effort every time.

So starting today, make Salah your non-negotiable. Even if you’ve missed


hundreds of prayers before… repent sincerely, start fresh now and try your best
to never skip.
A — Ask Correctly (Du’a Revival Framework)
You sit there, hands raised… but the words feel empty.

Your lips move, but your heart feels silent.

And you wonder:

“Does Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬even want to hear from me right now?”

Maybe you’ve sinned. Maybe you’ve been distant.

Maybe you think,

“I don’t even know how to make du’a properly.”

But here's the truth that changes everything:

You don’t need perfect words, you just need a real heart.

The Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬never told us du’a needs to be poetic. Or long. Or made


specifically in Arabic.

He simply taught us to call upon Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬sincerely - from wherever we are.

So you don’t have to be eloquent, just be real.

Because that one moment of honesty is heavier on the scale than a thousand
rehearsed lines.

Think of it this way:

If you were trapped, lost, or in pain, would you wait until your words were
“right” to cry out for help?

No. You’d just scream.

That’s what a heartfelt du’a is. It’s you remembering that Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬is still
listening, even when you feel furthest from Him.

Just that. Simple. Sincere. Powerful.


Just like what the Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬taught Mu'adh ibn Jabal ‫ رضي هللا عنه‬to say after
every Salah:

‫ َوُحْس ِن ِع َب اَدِتَك‬، ‫ َو ُش ْكِرَك‬، ‫ِذ ْكِرَك‬ ‫الَّلُه َّم َأِع ِّن ي َع ىَل‬

“O Allah, help me to remember You, to thank You, and to worship You


beautifully.”

(Sunan Abi Dawud 2/86)

If you’d like more powerful and rare du’as like this - for protection, anxiety, forgiveness, rizq, healing, and
more - you’ll find a full curated collection inside The Eternal Sunnahs Handbook, all sourced from the
most authentic hadith.

It’s not just a du’a. It’s a confession... like, “Ya Allah, I can’t even worship You
properly without You.”

That’s the kind of humility Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬loves.

Try This 3-Part Du’a Framework

Here’s a simple way to make du’a that feels natural and heartfelt - even if you
don’t know what to say.

1. Start with Allah’s Beautiful Names

Call on Allah using the Names that match your need.

This is a Sunnah that brings your du'a closer to acceptance.

"And to Allah belong the Best Names, so call upon Him by them..."

Surah Al-A‘rāf (7:180)

Examples:
“Yā Raḥmān, I need Your mercy…”

“Yā Shāfī, heal what no doctor can see…”

“Yā Fattāḥ, open a way for me…”


2. Speak Your Struggle Honestly

Say it how it feels:

“I’ve been lazy with my prayers…”

“My heart feels dead…”

“I want to change, but I keep falling…”

3. Seal Your Du'a with Salawat & Surrender

Start and end your du'a by sending salawat upon the Prophet ‫ﷺ‬.

Umar bin Al-Khattab ‫ رضي هللا عنه‬narrated:

"Indeed the supplication stops between the heavens and the earth. Nothing
of it is raised up until you send Salat upon your Prophet."

(Jami` at-Tirmidhi 486)

So say:

‫آِل ُم َحَّم ٍد‬ ‫ُم َحَّم ٍد َو َع ىَل‬ ‫الَّلُه َّم َص ِّل َع ىَل‬

“Allahumma ṣalli ʿalā Muḥammad wa ʿalā āli Muḥammad…”

Then surrender the outcome to Allah ‫عّز وجّل‬.

You can also say before ending with salawat:

“Ya Rabb, if it’s good for me, grant it. If it’s not, replace it with something
better and make my heart accept it.”

“You know what I can’t even express. I leave it all to You.”

That’s it.

That’s how you ask Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬properly.


IMPORTANT - A Change in Belief

Before moving on, I want to clear something up real quick, in case you think of it
this way.

You don’t need to go through a pious person to have your duʿa accepted.

You don’t need to find someone “closer to Allah” to pray for you.

You don’t need to give any Waseela/Tawassul (seeking to reach Allah) of a


saint, scholar, or even the Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬to be heard. (It comes under shirk)

You don’t need to write a duʿa on a piece of paper, wrap it in cloth, and hang
it on your arm.

All you’ve to do is this:

Go straight to the One above the seven heavens, the Everliving, the Most
Subtle, the One who knows you more than you do.

"And your Lord says: Call upon Me; I will respond to you."

Surah Ghāfir (40:60)

No intermediaries required.

I mean, doesn’t it make the most sense logically?

Who would know what you need better than you?

Who would be more sincere in your duʿa than you?

Who would feel your pain, your regret, your fear… the way you do?

You’re the one crying at night. You’re the one breaking inside.

So why give your broken heart to someone else to carry?

Allah wants YOU to come to Him. That’s the power of duʿa.

And here’s something that should shake your heart:


The Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said:

"Whoever does not ask Allah, He becomes angry with him."

(Jami’ at-Tirmidhī, 3373)

You’re asking the One who loves to be asked.

You’re asking the One who gets angry if you don’t.

SubhanAllah… This is our Rabb!

And yet we hesitate to speak directly to Him?


H — Heart Work (Ikhlas + Reflection)

Let’s pause for a second.

You’re doing the actions. You’re praying. You’re reading the Qur'an.

But it sometimes feels hollow. Like your heart isn’t entirely in it.

You ask yourself:

“Why do I feel disconnected even when I’m doing all the right things?”

That’s normal sometimes. But here’s a hidden answer most people overlook.

You may be doing the right actions, but with no intention. Or worse, with the
wrong intention.

And it’s not always obvious. It’s very subtle.

Maybe you prayed on time but secretly felt proud that others noticed.

Maybe you gave Sadaqah… but deep down, you hoped the person or someone
else would praise your generosity.

Maybe you recorded a video of your Qur’an recitation… but also hoped
someone would hear and compliment it.

But when the likes fade… or no one reacts… or the praise stops…

Your motivation disappears. And the spiritual emptiness returns.

Now this doesn’t happen because you’re weak...

It’s because your heart is hungry for Ikhlas, and it didn’t get it.

Ikhlās (sincerity, purity of intention) is the secret ingredient that gives life to your
worship.

The Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said:


“Allah only accepts deeds that are done purely for Him, seeking only His
Face.”

(Sunan an-Nasā’ī - 3140)

Your prayer, your fasting, your du’a… it all has to begin with one question:

“Am I doing this for Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬alone… or to get noticed by people?”

But what’s scary is, sometimes we don’t even know the answer.

That’s why heart work is very essential.

And the best way to do it is:

Try to do one small act of worship daily which is between you and Allah ‫عّز وجّل‬
alone… no one else sees it.

Pray two rakʿāh when no one’s around.

Make silent du’a in sujood.

Give a small amount of charity, and don’t tell a soul.

Pray for someone behind their back.

Forgive someone in your heart, without needing recognition.

Don’t post it. Don’t talk about it. Don’t hint at it.

Just give it to Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬- fully, quietly, sincerely. Let it be a secret between
you and the One who sees all the secrets.

Because that one act, done purely for Him, could be the most beloved deed to
Him, no matter how small you may think it is.

Speaking of which…
M — Micro Moments of Sunnah
If you’re waiting for the perfect moment to make a “grand” return to Islam like
the perfect Ramadan, the perfect mindset, the perfect week where everything
aligns…

Then let this be your reminder:

You don’t need a perfect moment. You just need a small one, done with love,
done for Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬alone.

Because sometimes, the key to unlocking your connection with Allah ‫عّز وجّل‬
isn’t a massive change…

It could be a tiny act of Sunnah that seems small on the outside but moves your
heart in ways you didn’t expect.

So it’s not about doing more. It’s about doing it with meaning.

The real beauty of the Sunnah is that it doesn’t just exist in the masjid or during
prayer. It applies into all walks of life, down to the small daily actions.

For example:

Here are some small, simple Sunnahs that carry immense barakah and quietly
rekindle your Imaan but are often forgotten:

Saying SubhanAllahi Wa Bihamdihi 100x in a day

Takes less than 2 minutes. But look at it’s virtue:

“Whoever says, 'SubhanAllahi wa bihamdihi,' one hundred times a day, will


be forgiven all his sins even if they were as much as the foam of the sea.”

(Sahih al-Bukhari, 6405)


Making duʿa for someone behind their back

The Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said:

"No Muslim servant supplicates for his brother behind his back but that the
angel says: ‘And for you the same.’"

(Sahih Muslim, 2732)

Imagine what you're missing just by not making duʿa for others.

Seeking forgiveness for all believers

The Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said:

"Whoever seeks forgiveness for the believing men and believing women,
Allah will write for him a good deed for every one of them."

(Musnad al-Shāmīyīn lil-Ṭabarānī, 2118)

Say this:

‫الَّلُه َّم اْغ ِف ْر ِلْل ُم ْؤ ِم ِنيَن َو اْلُم ْؤ ِم َن اِت‬

Allāhumma’ghfir lil-mu’minīna wal-mu’mināt

“O Allah, forgive all the believing men and women.”

Millions of good deeds in seconds.

Special du'a of mercy for you, from the Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬himself!

The Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said:

"May Allah have mercy on the one who prays four rakʿāh before ‘Asr."

(Jami’ at-Tirmidhī, 430)

It’s not one of the “obvious” Sunnah prayers like Fajr or Dhuhr.

But look at what you’re getting… Special du'a of mercy from the Prophet ‫ﷺ‬
himself!
A Way out from every Distress

The Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said:

"The duʿā of the person in distress is:

‫ُهَّللا ُهَّللا َر ِّبي اَل ُأْش ِرُك ِبِه َش ْي ًئ ا‬

Allahu Allahu Rabbi la ushriku bihi shay’an (Allah, Allah is my Lord, I do not
associate anything with Him)”

(Sunan Ibn Mājah, 3882)

This is a beautiful and powerful duʿā from the Sunnah for when someone is in
distress or fear, and it’s often overlooked.

You see, when you start to live like the Prophet ‫ﷺ‬, it’s the only and the fastest
way that will lead you back to Allah ‫عّز وجّل‬.

So choose one small Sunnah today, and make it your personal habit.

These are just a few I could list here. If you’d like 360+ more rare and powerful Sunnahs like these on
your fingertips - the kind that uplift your heart and fill your life with immense barakah - Alhumdulillah,
I’ve compiled a complete collection in The Eternal Sunnahs Handbook. If these few Sunnahs surprised
you…. wait till you explore the full treasury inside.
A — Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬Alone (Pure Tawheed)

Now everything you’ve read so far… won’t mean anything if this part isn’t clear.

So it's time for some real talk right now.

Because… you can pray five times in the masjid. You can do sunnah fasting. You
can give thousands and millions in charity. You can memorize the entire Qur'an.
You can wear a hijab, grow a beard, go to Umrah, do Hajj multiple times…

But if your heart isn’t anchored in pure Tawheed, none of it matters. And even
worse, none of it will count if it’s mixed with shirk.

Yes, you read that right. It’s not an exaggeration or fear-mongering.

And, it’s not me saying it.

That’s straight from the Qur’an:

“It has been revealed to you — and to those before you — that if you commit
shirk, all your deeds will be nullified, and you will be among the losers.”

Surah Az-Zumar (39:65)

Now most Muslims think that shirk just means “worshipping idols” in some
distant jungle.

Of course, that’s the worst kind of shirk, but… what most Muslims don’t realize
is that shirk keeps coming up in subtle, everyday and well… modern ways.

For example:

Visiting shrines/mazars/dargahs and asking dead saints to help you…

Using Ta’weez or amulets or charms with unknown symbols “for


protection”...

Saying “Ya Rasool Allah help me…” or “Ya Ali help me…” or “Ya Hussain help
me…” or “Ya Ghous-ul-azam help me…” and similar… instead of calling on
Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬directly…
Believing someone other than Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬controls your rizq, gives you
healing, or safety…

Prioritizing cultural practices that directly contradict the Qur’an and Sunnah…

Even loving your parents, or country more than Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬- if it leads you
to disobey Him...

La ilaha illallah…

These are all subtle forms of shirk. Cracks in your Tawheed.

You see, Tawheed isn’t just a belief. It’s your entire mindset. It is how you live
your life.

It means:

You worship Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬alone. Not your desires or nafs.

You rely on Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬alone. Not your job, not your bank account, not your
network. They’re just a means.

You seek help from Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬alone. Not from the dead. Not from
“righteous” Saints, Angels, Prophets or Jinn.

You live for Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬alone. Not for status, followers, or culture.

As Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬says in the Qur’an:

“Say: My prayer, my sacrifice, my life and my death are all for Allah — Lord of
the worlds. He has no partner.”

Surah Al-Anʿām (6:162–163)

This is what it means to live for Allah alone.

And when you truly live by that, you become unshakable.

But that’s not easy today...


Because for many of us, Islam has become mixed with culture - what’s
expected, what’s trending, what keeps people happy, what our forefathers did…

But here’s the harsh truth.

In your grave, you’ll be alone. On the Day of Judgment, you’ll stand alone before
Allah ‫عّز وجّل‬.

Not your mother. Not your favourite imam. Not your favorite da’ee. Not your
tribe.

Just you… and your sincerity.

If your Islam is based on culture or false beliefs, it will crack right there.

If it’s built on people, it will fall when they fall.

But if it’s built on the most correct, sound, and pure ‘Aqīdah…

By Allah ‫عّز وجّل‬, it will carry you through every confusion, every fitnah, and every
misguidance - effortlessly.

But what is “Sound ʿAqīdah”?

ʿAqīdah is just your belief system. It may be summed up as: believing in Allah,
His angels, His Books, His messengers, the Last Day, and the divine decree,
both good and bad.

Sound ʿAqīdah means your beliefs are based purely on the Qur’an and authentic
Sunnah - exactly in the way the Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬and his companions believed -
nothing more, nothing less. It’s about holding the pure, clean, original beliefs
without adding culture, emotions, personal opinions, or strange new ideas.

It’s the absolute foundation. But unfortunately, most Muslims today are either
ignorant of it, or worse - they have the wrong/corrupt ‘Aqīdah.

May Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬guide and protect us.

It’s literally what decides whether your Islam stands firm during trials or falls
apart at the first sign of pressure.

Now it’s a vast topic and scholars of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah have written
volumes on it. ...
But right below, I’ve tried to explain the “must knows” in the simplest way
possible - clear, practical, and rooted in the words of Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬and His
Messenger ‫ﷺ‬, so you can understand more easily, In shaa Allah.

Here’s what a sound ʿAqīdah looks like:

Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬is One - with no partners, no equals, no intermediaries. He is


above the heavens, over His Throne.

He alone controls everything, sees everything, hears every duʿa, and


answers in His perfect timing.

He alone knows the unseen - not any prophet, saint, jinn, or dream
interpreter.

Nothing happens without His Will - every test, blessing, delay, and difficulty
is from His perfect wisdom, which He wrote 50,000 years before the
creation of the heavens and the earth.

The Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬is the final and the most noble of all the Messengers -
loved, obeyed, followed, but not worshipped, not called upon, and not
made equal to Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬in any way.

The Qur’an and Sunnah are your main authority, the compass - above your
culture, your emotions, your community, your sect, and even your parents.

Belief in the unseen is an absolute must - the Angels, Jannah, Jahannam, the
Day of Judgment, the questioning in the grave, the Sirāt, the scales - all of it
is truth, even if we can’t comprehend it. And all of it is bound to happen at
its appointed time, that only Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬knows.

Ibadah (Worship) is only for Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬- duʿā, hope, fear, tawakkul, love,
slaughter, vows - all of it is directed towards Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬only.

(I’d highly recommend you to read this for a bit more detail on this topic.)

Now when you submit to this completely, and hold onto it tightly, you will be
able to see through every misguidance, every confusion - like water… and you’ll
never go astray, by Allah’s permission.

That’s real Islam.

And that’s when Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬puts Barakah in your life you didn’t ask for...
That’s when du’as start getting answered in ways you never imagined...

That’s when your sins start feeling heavier and your good deeds feel sweeter...

That’s when Your heart will be firm even when the world is drowning in fitnah...

That’s when Your Qur’an feels alive again...

That’s when Your goals shift. Your eyes open...

That’s when your actions will have immense barakah, sincerity, and power
behind them...

That’s when you finally feel like you're really walking the straight path...

And that’s when your Imaan is finally… at its peak - revived and brimming.

Alhumdulillah.☝️

I’m telling you this from experience - when you clean up your ‘Aqidah,
everything else starts falling into place.

And the best book of ‘Aqidah to further strengthen it?

The Glorious Qur’an.

By Allah, go back to the Qur’an. Make it your companion.

Not with speed. Not with a goal to finish. But with a heart that says:

“I’ll not abandon it, even if it’s just one verse a day.”

Because... the Qur’an is not just for reward.

It wasn’t revealed to be just kept on a high shelf, or only opened in times of


death and disaster...

It wasn’t revealed for just being read only to “send reward” to the dead...

It wasn’t revealed for just being placed over a bride’s head during her wedding
send-off...
It wasn’t revealed for just being used as a “protective object” in cars or hung on
walls without living by its guidance...

It wasn’t revealed for just being recited at funerals while no one listens or
reflects...

It wasn’t revealed for just being kissed, or for decoration, and honored
physically, but ignored spiritually...

But it was revealed as a complete message - the Words of the Most High - as a
complete manual for life, a healing for the heart, and a light for your path -
which unfortunately, most of us have forgotten.

Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬says:

"A blessed Book We have revealed to you, so that they may reflect upon its
verses…"

Surah Ṣād (38:29)

We were meant to live it. Read it. Ponder it. And most importantly, apply it.

It will reshape your heart more than what a 1,000 motivational videos will ever
do.

So…

You’re not too far gone.

You’re not “bad” at Islam.

You’ve just been running on a system built by others.

Now is the time to return to the absolute truth:

Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬alone. His Book. His Messenger ‫ﷺ‬, His way.
And say these two du’as often:

Du’a for protection from shirk

‫ َو َأْس َت ْغ ِف ُر َك ِلَم ا اَل‬، ‫الَّلُه َّم ِّني َأُعوُذ َك َأْن ُأْش ِرَك َك َو َأَنا َأْع َلُم‬
‫ِب‬ ‫ِب‬ ‫ِإ‬
‫َل‬
‫ْع ُم‬ ‫َأ‬

Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika an ushrika bika wa anā aʿlam, wa astaghfiruka limā lā
aʿlam.

“O Allah, I seek refuge in You from associating anything with You knowingly, and
I seek Your forgiveness for what I do not know.”

Musnad Ahmad (4/403)

Du’a for steadfastness

‫ِد يِن َك‬ ‫َيا ُم َق ِّلَب اْلُقُلو َثِّب ْت َق ْل ي َع ىَل‬


‫ِب‬ ‫ِب‬
Yā muqallibal-qulūb, thabbit qalbī ʿalā deenik.

O Changer of the Hearts! Strengthen my heart upon Your Religion.

Jami’ at-Tirmidhi, 2140

Now, I want to share with you something that


makes sure this transformation really lasts, in shaa
Allah... ↓
If you’ve made it here… pause for a moment.

Look back at everything you’ve just done.

You took a step toward Allah ‫عّز وجّل‬, even in your weakness.

You revisited your faraa’id. You made real du’a. You questioned your intentions.

You reached for forgotten Sunnahs.

And most importantly, you began to return to Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬alone.

That spark you feel right now… that clarity… that soft pull towards something
deeper… That’s Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬calling you back to Him, not just for a moment… but
for a life. Bi idhnillah.

But for most people, the hard part is:

Staying consistent when life gets loud again.

When motivation fades, when distractions return, when the heart goes quiet.
And to fix that, you need some kind of a daily connection.

So if you would like a quiet companion that keeps you anchored in real Sunnah,
pure Tawheed, and steady light...

By Allah’s Tawfiq, I put this together for you:


The Eternal Sunnahs We Forgot

hadiths and Sunnah du’as, carefully curated to help you

forgotten beauty of the Prophet ‫’ﷺ‬s way back into your life, so

All praise belongs to Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬alone.

Whatever Khayr (good) you found in this guide - of reminders, guidance, or


inspiration - it was only from Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬alone. And anything I’ve said that was
incorrect, or mistaken, or went against the Qur’an and Sunnah - it was from
Shaytan, and I ask Allah ‫ عّز وجّل‬to forgive me for it.

JazakumAllahu Khayran for taking the time to read this.

And if you benefited even a little, share this guide with your family, your friends,
your circle… anyone you think might benefit, in shaa Allah ‫عّز وجّل‬.

Because even if just one person returns to Allah ‫عّز وجّل‬, revives a Sunnah, or
strengthens their Imaan through this, it could be Sadaqah Jariyah for both you
and me… long after we’re gone. In shaa Allah.

And it’s just the beginning.
