Reclaim Your Heart

Characteristics of the Station of Awakening:
Allah makes worship easier-
While in this state, worship
becomes much easier. A person is so driven and
motivated that they may easily sacrifice everything for the
sake of the new reality they have discovered. This zeal
can take a person from 0 to 60 in no time. It’s like being
on spiritual steroids. The strength you have is not from
your own self, but from an aid that was given to you. In
this case the aid is given by God. Some may advise not
changing too much, too fast. I don’t think fast change is the
problem. I think arrogance is. I think hopelessness is. If
Allah gives you a gift whereby you are able to do more,
use it. But thank Him—not yourself, for that ability. And
know that the heightened state is temporary. You may go
from 0 to 60 in a very short time due to it, but when the
high passes, don’t lose hope and let yourself slip back to
0.
Temporary-
Like every state in this life, this state is
temporary. Life is never linear. And neither is the path to
God. Not realizing this can cause despair and
hopelessness once it passes.
