“Islamic and me? No way!”

But here we are , Afshan just finished compiling her first eBook. And I say compiled, not wrote, because these are the words of Allah, written by the Best of authors and practiced by the best man to ever walk this earth , our beloved Prophet ﷺ.

I was first introduced to Azkar when my best friend once told me that her Nani used to sit after Fajr and do her morning Azkar for half an hour, sometimes even a full hour. At that time, I just listened and I didn’t think much of it.

Then one day, I came across a podcast. The woman in it shared a story that changed my heart.

She said she used to wash the bodies of the deceased. One day, while washing a woman’s body, the electricity went out and the room went completely dark. They waited for the light to return… until they realized the light was coming from the woman’s body itself. When they covered her with the cloth, the room went dark again. Everyone present was shocked.

Later, the washer asked the family about the woman’s life, what good deeds did she do? They said, “She used to do her morning Azkar every day and would reconcile between 2 people and married couples, bringing peace between them as Sadqa Jaria”

That story touched me deeply. I realized that she gave her time to the dunya wisely, and Allah took care of her Akhirah. And that’s exactly what we are meant to do in this world - to remember Allah (SWT) and live with purpose.

Azkar is our protection, our calm, and our reminder. So I truly encourage you to start today. Don’t wait until your 50's to pick up a tasbeeh. We don’t even know what the next minute holds for us.

✨ The eBook is free https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1lRf6LQg92j-ygz_SO9fuwQKA1OL-e-Lo

May it benefit you as much as it’s already changed me. 🤍
