DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawmul Jumuat, 3rd day of RabeeulAwwal, 1446AH (Friday, 6th September 2024). HOW TO MOTIVATE OURSELVES TO BOOST OUR EEMAAN(FAITH). BismilLah. 

AlhamdulilLah for blessing  us to be part of this blessed day of the week. 

The simplest definition of the word ‘motivation’ is ‘that which drives us to action’. As human beings, we are drawn to questions such as, “What’s the point of this?” or “Why am I here?” 

ALLAH Almighty has already answered this question for us in the Qur'an saying:

".... I have not created the jinn and the humankind except that they should serve Me. (Qur'an 51:56). Once the purpose of life has been established in our minds, what motivates us to fulfill that purpose?

In The Quran:

"ALLAH swears by time towards our death that; indeed, mankind is in loss; except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience (Qur'an 103). "Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer, *_I will surely cause him/her to live a good life, and I will surely give them their reward [in the Hereafter] according to the best of what they used to do_*. (Qur'an 16:97). Allahu Akbar. Is there anything better than this promise to motivate us?

The hope for reward pushes us to obtain the best possible life in the hereafter by using the currency that we have been provided with; i.e. time. A true believer is motivated by the desire for internal satisfaction while also keeping the focus on the ultimate goal, which is to earn ALLAH’s pleasure for HIS Paradise. 

May ALLAH keep guiding us all till Jannat becomes our final abode. Aameen.
