I longed...

"I longed for marriage"

I longed for marriage.
and I got married...
but life without children is deserting.

Thus I longed to be blessed with children.
and I got children...
but within no time my small apartment made me uncomfortable.

I therefore longed for bigger house with garden.
Well, I got it, though with much efforts.
Yes, I possessed a mansion, but my children have grown up by then

Hence, I longed for them got married.
I now have them married,
yet official responsibilities give me fatigue

Now I resorted to retirement, so to get some rest.
Now I am retired, became single just as I was after graduation.
After graduation I notice, I approached life, but now, I bid life farewell.

Still I do have ambitions.
I therefore longed for Quranic memorization...
but my memory betrayed me.

I longed to frequent fasting...
yet my health condition won't allow me to do it.

I longed for night devotion "Qiyamul layl"...
but my feet could no longer carry me well...

Verily the Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ made it categorical that
"Make profit out of five things before five things over took you.

Your youthfulness before the old age
Your health before illness
Your affluence before austerity
Your free time before the busy moment
Your life before your death

If your daily routine is empty of the following activities, be quick and start including them in your routine:

* 2 Raka'at of Duha
* Daily Quranic recitation routine
* Qiyamul layl
* Alms giving /supporting the needy
* Spreading good word/nasiha/salam

May Allah ﷻ continue to help us against the satanic whispers and evils of our own souls. May Allah help us balance our desires of duniya with deen.
Ameen ya rabbi.

Seth Godin's Blog: Speakerphone voice

When the speakerphone is on in the conference room, do you talk differently? by Seth Goldin It's pretty common. We breathe from a different spot, hold our chest differently, constrict our throats and generally try to shout our words across the ocean. The people listening on the speaker are used to it. The people in the room with you, less so. Human beings don't have a long cultural history with microphones. We don't instinctively understand that they actually work. So we shout instead. And shouting changes how we're believed, trusted and ultimately heard. Learning to use a microphone is a great skill. When you speak normally, it turns out that the microphone has plenty of volts, watts and amps on hand to move your voice all the way to Latvia if you want it to. And then your words will actually be heard. Resource: Godlin, Seth. "Speakerphone Voice. " Sethgodin Typepad Last Modified: Nov 11 2017. http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2017/...
