#Day1: 30 Happy Days

Day 1
Al-Baqara : 45

وَاسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلٰوةِ ۚ وَإِنَّهَا لَكَبِيرَةٌ إِلَّا عَلَى الْخٰشِعِينَ

And seek help through patience and prayer, and indeed, it is difficult except for the humbly submissive [to Allah]

We didn't choose our gender, our parents or our appearance. Allah created us the way He wanted. This points to the fact that we are ever enslaved toour Rabb. We are ever in need of our Master. We, as slaves, are not independent of Allah and we, thereby, need help.
A slave's got two tools to help him out:
1. Patience
2. Prayer

The two are mutually inexclusive. One cannot pray without sabr and one cannot have sabr without praying for it. And salah and sabr are the essence of 'ibadah.
Salah and sabr are ONLY difficult for the ones who are not humbly submissive, khashi'een.

May Allah grant us khushoo' during salah and outside salah. May He make us from those who observe sabr in all aspects of life. May He make us from the observers and preservers of salah. Ameen.
