🌙This Ramadan, My Intention Is Simple: Get to Jannah

🌙 This is my first proper Ramadan where I'm not breastfeeding or pregnant...

And it's been so easy to fast.

Alhamdulillah (all praises to God) 🙏

By the time I look at the clock, it's a few minutes before I can eat.

So my intention for this month is to focus solely on attaining Jannah.

I know you're probably thinking —

“But Rose, that's why we pray and fast.”

The thing is, I've never fully made an intention for Ramadan.

I just go with the flow, pray on time, and don't eat from sunrise to sunset.

It's been quite... mechanical.

When I look back at all the Ramadans I've done since becoming Muslim...

I can't even remember if I had an intention.

So this month, I made the intention that whatever I do, whether it's in business, motherhood, marriage, or life,

My intention is to get to Jannah.

And I feel like this has been the missing piece to life.

Like I've lived my whole life totally detached. I literally can't wait to go home and get off this planet.

But having this specific intention has calmed my soul down... and now I can accept being here.

For so long, I've just felt lost. Like I don't belong.

However, now that I've made the intention that everything I do, big or small, is to get to Jannah...

I feel excited to be here. 💛

Maybe it's the Ramadan spirit, but I'm waking up every day so excited, thinking about what I can do to get to Jannah.

I feel like a little girl again, waiting for Christmas and the presents. (I grew up celebrating Christmas so don't come for me! 😅)

But you know that excited feeling to just be alive?

I'm feeling it since Ramadan started. 🌅

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Even though I'm fasting, feeding my children is such a joy. I'm not feeling agitated because I'm thinking — this is going to get me to Jannah.

When the kids make a mess, even though I'm tired of cleaning it, I'm thinking, this is going to get me to Jannah.

When I'm too tired to pray my sunnah prayers, I say to myself, this is going to get me to Jannah. 🕌

Every time I feel like I don't want to do something, I instantly shift it to, but this is going to get me to Jannah.

We're only 5 days in, but my mind is full of ideas that I had never thought of before...

Excited at the possibility that committing to those ideas might get me to Jannah.

Now, this doesn't mean I become a doormat and let people walk all over me.

I still hold boundaries respectfully because that too will get me to Jannah.

Getting to Jannah doesn't mean I suddenly have "doormat" written on my forehead.

(Which I feel like a lot of people do, as a cop-out, to not face difficult people.)

But if someone is being difficult, instead of arguing, I just walk away because that will get me to Jannah.

Instead of judging someone on their lifestyle choices, I mind my business because that will get me to Jannah.

Instead of trying to prove myself, I leave it to Allah because that will get me to Jannah.

Do you see how setting this intention is not just for all the good stuff?

But it’s to help you manage the difficult stuff too.

So here's what I want you to reflect on:

What is your actual intention for this month?

🌙 Is it to seek forgiveness?
🌟 Become a better person?
❤️ Deepen your connection with Allah?
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Reconnect with loved ones?

Really ponder on your intention, and every time you do something, think about your intention.

You'll notice a difference in how you complete the task.

Hit reply once you've figured out your intention. I would love to hear them.

I recorded this audio in Makkah when I did Umrah for the first time since my Mum passed away (may she be in Jannah) 🤲

The downloads I got to record this audio were insane, and whenever I tried to re-record it, I just couldn't.

So just know this audio is specially made for you, from Allah. 💛
