Way towards Jannah

Sacrifications and happiness!

Assalamu alaikum! I'd like to share my another life experience!
It was during the last year, I was a Watsapp holic+ googling stuffs!
24/7 online!

I didn't pray on time! My whole life was just like a messed cobweb! Though I was happy and enjoying the chats with my friends, I felt something missing! I didn't have an inner peace which I was searching through out my life! I felt so uneasy and empty! I eventually started realizing that social media isn't everything!

One day ( it was the month before Ramadan) I was overwhelmed with sadness for no reason! I just wanted to pour out everything to
the right one! But I couldn't find anyone comfortable! Including my friends, whom I spent hours talking to!

Finally I prayed two rakah nafl prayers and turned to Allah! I cried to the epitome! I was so broke! I started asking for forgiveness from him and to change my life according to Allah's preference! I felt my inner peace have returned!

But I was still the same!
A week later it was Ramadan, and my Mom was firm that I shouldn't even touch my phone in this holy month! I insisted, but she was firm with her decision! Finally I gave up! She hid my phone from my sight!

The first few days of Ramadan was hectic without phone, to be frank!
But due to the daily nafl prayers and supplications, I eventually started to forget about my phone! My heart was filled with Allah's love!

On the 27th night, there was a special supplication program at our mosque! Tears started pouring like a dam outta my eyes! I realized that I was wasting all my days on Watsapp! I thought it was under my control, but no! I was under its control! I was ashamed of my addict! Allah has made my heart realize! Allah has accepted my duas which I had asked him before Ramadan! I asked him to get rid of my phone addiction habit!

My heart was so free without the phone for an entire month!
After the holy month, I felt my heart to be so light! My face had a brightness!
On the festival day, I got my phone back! I was happy!
But Allah has accepted my dua again!

Because, I couldn't remember my password! Not a single number!
I got upset again! I basically forgot about my supplications and duas! But Allah didn't! He had accepted it!

After I got my phone unlocked, my sim had a problem and wifi too didn't work!
I was in tears! I, then realized that Allah has accepted my duas, for he's the al-mighty and the most merciful!

Now I have got my inner-peace! I am happy without the phone! I have become more closer to Allah, the almighty! Without him, I am nothing! Truly!

Sacrifice something you are addicted to, for the sake of Allah and you'll be the happiest person!

Don't get disheartened just because your duas aren't accepted right at the moment! Its just that Allah knows the right moment to make everything perfect in your life! Put your faith in Allah, and just have patience!

Because, Allah is always with the patience one!
