#AnseTalks: Three Goals For This New Year
Anse Dr. Tamara Gray calls us to set our goals for the new Hijri year. 1️⃣ Resolve yourself on not missing any fard prayers this year. And if you have that established, then consider sunna prayers. 2️⃣ Become a woman of tahajjud (night prayer). 3️⃣ Find a companion to help you on this journey. 💕 Start your year off on the right foot through establishing habits that can help carry you through this year and beyond. ✨ Join the Masjid Rabata Tahajjud threads at rabata.info/tahajjudsignup . . . . #MuslimFemaleScholar #SpiritualGuidance #IslamicWisdom #MuslimFaithJourney #EmpoweringMuslimWomen #MuslimahCommunity #GuidanceAndInspiration #IslamicTeachings #WomeninFaith #SeekingWisdom #IslamicValues #SoulNourishment #IslamicKnowledge #FaithInDailyLife #MuslimahGuidance #MuslimahInspiration #SelfDiscoveryJourney #IslamicLifestyle #MuslimWomenNetwork #FaithBasedLiving #MuslimWomenRising #IslamAndWomen #InnerPeace #IslamicScholarship

#AnseTalks: Lets Make This A Year of Prayer

Discover a new relationship and longing to be with your Lord in solitude. 👇🏾Share below where you hope to improve your prayer this year.

✨Before venturing off on a journey, we prepare ourselves.✨ We pack our supplies, check our paths, and tie up any loose ends. Anse Dr. Tamara Gray reminds us that as we venture out on a personal hijra this year, setting off toward a better version of ourselves, we take a moment to mend our ways, right our wrongs, and tie up any loose ends by beginning with a sincere tawba, or repentance. ✨As this year begins, seek His forgiveness, set off with a clean slate, and know that your Lord is ready to forgive and receive you. ❤

✨Muharram marks a fresh start for the Ummah. Not only as it marks the start of the new year, but as Anse Dr. Tamara Gray offers, it also brings forth the moment where those who went for Hajj returned with cleaned slates to our communities.✨ How will we respond to this opportunity? To this fresh start? What resolutions will you be setting? This Muharram of 1446 AH, do not limit yourself, see the person you have the potential to become. Step into the possibilities, make dua, and know that our Lord is Ever Generous. 👇🏾 Share below what you're hoping this fresh start means for you and our Ummah.

🏔️ Anse Dr. Tamara Gray calls on us to all respond to the moment. To answer and pass our tests as they each come our way, whether it be the unique individual ones we face, or the one looming over our entire Ummah. These each demand from us our attention, our diligence, and patience. May Allah ﷻ grant us His Tawfiq to respond to the moment with what it needs from each of us. May we pass our tests and be of the successful. 🤲🏻

✨Who we surround ourselves with has one of the greatest impacts on the trajectories of our lives. Anse Dr. Tamara Gray reminds us to find companionship with those who love Allah, so they can pull us toward the Good with them.✨ As the new Islamic year begins shortly, consider who you will surround yourself with this year. Find someone who you can spend time with consistently who will pull you along with them toward Allah ﷻ. ✨Share below who you might be leaning on this coming year.
