1) Abstinence from Haraam
There should be no haraam elements in anything that one consumes or owns. Neither should one’s possessions or foodstuffs be made from haraam constituents nor should they have been purchased by haraam money or through haraam channels.
2) Adoption of the Company of the Pious
This necessitates that one simultaneously abstains from impious company. Adopt the company of those who:
• Remind you of Allah
• Make you worry about the hereafter
• Help you to increase your knowledge
Remember, a person will be with those whom he loves on the day of Qiyaamah. The love the pious have for us will influence us in such a manner that we will become pious too.
3) Salaah with Jama’ah
To be able to pray five times Salaah with Jama’ah in the Masjid is indeed a great blessing granted only to those who are fortunate.
4) Punctuality of Ma’moolaat
Don’t leave your daily prescribed practices. If your miss them, make a firm resolve and start again. Make a 24 hour timetable to ensure sufficient time is allocated for the performance of ma’moolaat. Keep in mind that the recitation of the Qur’aan is extremely important.
5) Connection with the Shaykh
This is achieved through attending the Shaykh’s gatherings, listening to his lectures, and by seeking guidance from the Shaykh for one’s spiritual issues. It is through this that the relationship from both sides strengthens.
6) Du’aa
One should beseech Allah to make him like those pious predecessors who have passed before. Ask Allah to make you His lover and for Him to become your beloved.

“'The company of a good friend is like an owner of musk; if you don’t buy anything, you will get the smell of it.
The company of a bad friend is like the blacksmith’s bellows; if you are not affected by its black dirt, you will be touched by its smoke."
–Prophet Muhammed (saw).

Light of Dawn
I wake with the light of the dawn whispering with joy in my heart and with praise on my lips. In stillness and twilight i stand before you bowing, prostating i call Allahu (swt).
My eyes see your beauty in the dawn's golden hues. My ears hear the thunder as it gloriies you. The rhythm of my heart beats the sound of your name. My breaths rise and fall with the tide of your praise. My soul knew and loved you before i was born and without your mercy is lost and fortorn.
Wherever i may wonder down the pathways of life, my cry to you Allah (swt), is "guide me to ligfht" through all fear and helpness, to you do i turn for your breath of healing and peacedo i yearn. For all that i have , my Allah (swt) all that i am is from you, is for you and to you will return. Inshallah
