Have you ever lost yourself in prostration?   Where time dissolves, and nothing exists—except you and your Rabb?   In the stillness of Tahajjud, when the world is asleep, you rise. You bow. You surrender. And then… you stay. Not for a moment, but for what feels like eternity—10 minutes, an hour—just you and Him.   Someone might ask, *"What do you even say in sujood for so long?"*   You could whisper *"Subḥāna Rabbi al-A’lā"* on repeat.   Or… you could say nothing at all.   Just *be*.   Let your heart remember:   He sees you.   He accepts you.   He is *with* you.   Maybe tears fall. Maybe words stumble out:   *"Yā Allah, I love You.   You give me everything—yet I still fail You.   And still… You forgive. You provide. You love.   How can I ever thank You enough?"*   This isn’t just sujood.   It’s a meeting of souls. ...

  I've been using rewards sites to earn extra cash and Amazon gift codes since probably 2007 — when my oldest was just a baby. This was also when I first began to seriously look for ways to make money from home. Of course, it didn't take long for me to realize that these rewards sites were in no way going to replace my income, but I still found them to be a bit addictive. I got in the habit of logging in to a few of them every day to earn redeemable points or cash. **What is a rewards site?** Rewards sites offer multiple ways to earn a little money or rewards (gift codes to popular retailers, merchandise, etc.). Once your account is created, you can log in as often as you want and do simple little tasks like searching the web, filling out surveys, watching videos, playing games, doing short tasks, printing out coupons, doing offers, shopping, referring your friends, and all kinds of other things. Everything you do earns you points or cash. All of these sites will have a...

  Strength isn’t just muscles or money—it’s mastery over mind, character, and purpose. Here’s what real men live by:   1. **Anger is a test, not a weapon.** Let it pass like a storm—never let it steer you. Control is power.   2. **Happiness is an inside job.** People and things can add to it, but never outsource your joy.   3. **Your critics? Free lessons.** Those who dislike you often reveal your blind spots. Listen, adapt, outgrow.   4. **Family is chosen.** Blood matters, but loyalty, respect, and shared values build unbreakable bonds.   5. **Men resolve fast.** Grudges are for those with time to waste. Address conflict, then move forward.   6. **Self-reliance is silent confidence.** Dependence weakens; independence builds legacy.   7. **Yoga is warrior’s training.** Strengthen the body to sharpen the mind—true power lives at their intersection.   8. **Eat like fuel matters.** Protein isn’t a trend—i...

Imagine riding a horse, only to realize—it’s dead.   What’s the wise move? **Dismount. Walk away. Find a new horse.**   Yet, what do we *actually* do?   🔹 We redesign the saddle, hoping it’ll revive the corpse.   🔹 We invest in "better" horse feed—for a body that can’t eat.   🔹 We blame the rider, swap them out, praying the next one performs miracles.   🔹 We form committees, host endless meetings, and drown in analysis… only to finally declare: *"Yes, the horse is dead."*   **The Lesson?**   Wasting time, money, and energy on what’s *already gone* keeps you stuck. **True success begins when you:**   ✔ **Accept reality**—no denial, no emotional bargaining.   ✔ **Walk away** from what no longer serves you.   ✔ **Pivot boldly** toward what *actually* moves you forward.   The world rewards those who act—not those who linger in dead-end cycles.   *(P.S.
