Full Description
Our existence in this world is like that of a tree. The trunk is the main body that symbolizes our connection with our Creator, and the scattered branches are the life issues that revolve around us. If the trunk suffers from an imbalance, the entire tree feels the effect. The same goes for our connection with Allah. If not careful, one may easily fall into the trap of ghaflah (heedlessness) and lose the important attribute of taqwā, the consciousness of Allah. The best way to improve our connection is by adopting the supplications of the Prophet (PBUH) in our daily tasks.
Stay Connected: A Pocket Guide of Prayers for Muslims is a short guidebook for working Muslims on how to reroute the compass of their heart towards Allah on a busy day. May it motivate the reader to take a step towards improving their connection with Allah and gain His pleasure.
