This is absolutely beautiful and much needed, Brother Ihsan. As the year comes to an end and we naturally tend to get more reflective of the past year and setting intention for the coming year, slowing down comes to mind more and more. Slowing down is becoming more urgent in our hearts over time. The way we are going is just not sustainable and it beginning to just NOT feel right anymore. I see this topic discussed in so many circles. Thank you.

May Allah bless you for reminding us of the roots of Islam. Jazakom Allah khairan

Shukran my brother I really needed to hear this.

'....sit and breathe and be with your creator..............true surrender is surrender of the mind...' My 73 birthday today........my Muslim friends here in Christchurch NZ have over recent months opened my eyes to the grace and harmony with all things natural which I understand is the true state of Islam/ Peace. However, I have been searching for the meditative thread, available to us all when we 'surrender our minds' to The Creator. What a gift Br. Ihsan, to discover the wisdom you share, at the beginning of this new year of life. Alhamdullilah!

As-salamu alaykum brother, This hadith adds to what you are saying. Although Prophet Muhammad was taking long in unusual parts of the salah, this was still the quickest salah. Slowing down is actually how you speed up. Hadith حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ، وَحُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ مَا صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ رَجُلٍ أَوْجَزَ صَلاَةً مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي تَمَامٍ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا قَالَ ‏"‏ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَامَ حَتَّى نَقُولَ قَدْ أَوْهَمَ ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ وَيَسْجُدُ وَكَانَ يَقْعُدُ بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ حَتَّى نَقُولَ قَدْ أَوْهَمَ ‏.‏ Anas b. Malik said: I did not offer prayer behind anyone more brief than the one offered by the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) and that was perfect. When the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) said: “Allah listens to him who praises Him,” he stood long we thought that he had omitted something; then he say takbir(Allah is most great) and prostrate, and would sit between the two prostrations so long that we thought that he had omitted something. Sahih (Al-Albani) Sunan Abi Dawud, 853 In-Book Reference: Book 2, Hadith 463 English Reference: Book 2, Hadith 852 Get Hadith Collection (All in one) App gtaf.org/apps/hadith #GreentechApps #GTAF #Hadith #ShareAHadith It didn't make sense to me how it can be long and brief at the same time but your video explains it.

I hope that all Muslims around the world will understand Islam the way you do brother Ihsan.May Allah bless you and reward you.

This is great. Can you do more talks about the daily prayers? I'm learning about Islam and the 5 prayers fascinates me. I have friends who are Muslem but don't pray regularly.. I wonder what they're missing?

Thank you for the insights and guidance along the way. I agree meditation is invaluable to the way, resting in the stillness and spontaneity of the Fitra. You've helped me manifest a boost in motivation to sit right when I needed it! Thanks brother

wow

Salam & thank u 4 this blessedly beautiful delivery. May Allah SwT richly bless & reward u. Insha Allah, may we all aspire 2 take on board ur recommendations. We ALL need this in the current chaos of life...& being 60+ in age does NOT make it easier/better.

Assalamualaikum brother. I’ve been watching your videos on and off for a while and am pleased to hear another Muslim discuss the spiritual elements of Islam, which I feel is lacking in today’s world. As I meditate more and more, I am feeling a dislike for the 5 prayers and don’t see why I can’t just meditate or mention Allah swt in my own way through dhikr or simple awareness. Why does Allah swt care specifically how I pray to Him? It’s especially tough for me since I’m not a native speaker and aside from the hassle from learning Arabic, I feel meditation having a more significant impact on my spirituality. This also has me questioning why it matters what religion I have if I can simply know Allah swt through meditation and awareness. I hope you can answer these questions. Thank you

Blessed salaams, brother. I've seen your question and insha'llah will answer with a video very soon. God's light and guidance be with you.

and you can still have presence in craziness and rush. i love in NYC and feel very present.. I can see a divine conscious that surronds me.. we live in allah.. we are surrounded by intelligence.. when we increase our consciousness we can connext with our higherself and allah..

Everything's negative undertones even when starting with in the name of Allah the most merciful the most compassionate...where's the joy?!

stop with bad habits is good start, negotiate with urself about things that u keep worrying about or hurrying with, you know spot yourself being a tyrant to yourself, spend some time in peace etc

Brother Ihsan I have a question.... You said that if you believe that there is not enough time then our world becomes that. But should we live life as if we have all the time in the world? Become procrastinator? I am not grasping the concept. In shaa Allah may Allah grant me understanding. Ameen.

Greetings and salaams. Procrastination is a different type of problem. The key is to be active and in action, yet not "rushed." The goal is to live life productively and actively in a state of flow rather than haste, anxiety and worry. Hope that helps clear things up. Towards this end, it is essential to develop presence through daily practice. The Islamic Meditation Program is an invaluable resource for this, www.spiritualexcellence.com/islamicmeditation. To your divine and eternal success.
