                              Readers who glorify Allāh, dufiā√ and dhikr are fiibādah, and

                       the terms for the acceptance of fiibādah are two:


                     -  Firstly, Ikhlās (solely for Allāh), holding at bay major shirk and

                         minor shirk (riyafi - the increase or decrease of a matter of

                         fiibādah).
                     -  Secondly, Ittibāfi (in accordance with the example of the

                         Messenger of Allāh ).


                              A true Muslim must endeavor, in accordance with ‘his’

                       capabilities, for the fiibādah ‘he’ carries out every day to be accepted
                       by Allāh  , because the Prophet   made dufiā√ every day

                       beseeching Allāh  to be given beneficial fiilm, ḥalāl livelihood,

                       and acceptable deeds.


                              When a Muslim or Muslimah carries out dufiā√ and dhikr in
                       accordance with that which was exemplified by the Messenger of

                       Allāh  every day after waking up, performs dhikr in the morning

                       and the afternoon, reads Al Qur√ān, performs ṣalāt atb their five
                       prescribed times, performs ṣalāt at night and performs more dhikr

                       until he/she returns to sleep, then he/she is amongst those men and

                       women who perform dhikr in plenitude. Their deeds will be
                       accepted and their hearts will be calm. Hopefully we are amongst
