Ayatul kursi/Ameen when entering Masjid/Remember Allah/Signs of wretchedness & hard heart
🌴 Advice 1: Rasulullah ﷺ said; whoever reads Ayatul Kursi after every fard salah, there will be no barrier between him and entering Jannah but death. Therefore, make it a goal to read Ayatul Kursi after every fard salah. It does not even take a minute but is a means of entry to Jannah!
🤲🏼 Advice 2: Allamah Yusuf Binnori used to say Ameen thrice when entering the Masjid. When asked the reason he said because angels make dua as mentioned in hadith and therefore he says Aameen to their duas.
💭 Advice 3: Abu Darda r.a (The wise man of the Ummah) said; In times of prosperity, remember Allah, then in times of difficulty Allah will remember you.
📿 Advice 4: Just as we increase in dhikr in the month of Ramadan, we should continue after as well.
💥 Advice 5: There are four signs of wretchedness:
1) When eyes become dry.
2) When heart becomes hard.
3) When you have long hopes.
4) Excessive greed of Dunya.
🤎 Advice 6: Four things that harden the heart as mentioned by Ibn Qayyim r.a;
1) Bad company.
2) Excessive eating.
3) Excessive talking.
4) Unrestrained glances.
When you do dhikr, then that will soften the heart.
