Seeking help and worshipping

Ramadan is around the corner. A reminder for us that another year passed and Allah gave us another chance to cleanse ourselves. Many ideas or plans are going in my head. And yet I am humbling with the thought that I didn't pass my year as I planned at the end of last Ramadan. Why? Did I ask for help enough? Did I pass my Ramadan correctly? Not really. Alhamdolillah I have another chance to be grateful. الحمد لله. All praise and thanks to Allah.

I want this Ramadan to be different. In fact the best ever inshaAllah. A friend of mine always reminds if we want different results, we want to do something different.

I make plans all the time alhamdolillah. And I am able to implement alhamdolillah the items in my plan which are in the top part of my list. But priorities can be wrong.

This Ramadan I plan to do something different. I remember one Ramadan my main focus was to ask hidayah or guidance. And that Ramadan was the best so far. This year my focus would be to ask for help sincerely. So my focus this Ramadan is  إياك نعبد و إياك نستعين . To You alone we worship and to You alone we seek help.

This is a different plan than previous years.
I plan to renew my intentions each day. And I plan to ask Allah sincerely for help. I need to remind myself continously. لاحول ولا قوة الابالله There is no power to do good and there is no strength to save myself from bad except with Allah.

I have to remind myself if I am seeking Allah's help, I have to worship Him alone. Isn't it true when we seek help from anybody we start to be nice to that somebody?

When we need help we also get very polite and also we get creative to praise that somebody.

 If I need Allah's help, all I need is to worship Allah.


But how? What is one regular step I have to take in implementing my plan for this Ramadan or for my life ahead? My jammed mind says at least start every task with بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Not just lip movements. But actually contemplating on Allah names الرحمن and الرحيم . I need to begin this Ramadan with بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم If Allah is الرحمن and if i seek help sincerely how is it possible that He is not going to help me? Only if I stop worshipping Him. How can I make sure if I am worshipping him right?

Again my mostly unused mind suggests to make duaa. And the best duaa that comes to my mind for doing worship in the best way is  اللهم أعني على ذكرك و شكرك و حسن عبادتك O Allah help me on Your rememberance and on Your gratefulness and best of Your worship.


May Allah reward you for reading. If it has any good, it is from  Allah and all its shortcomings are short comings in me. Keep me in your prayers.
