The Prophet ﷺ's Golden Advice!

One day, Mu'adh ibn Jabal radiyAllahu anhu is praying Salah in the first row behind the Prophet ﷺ. And the Prophet ﷺ turns around and he sees this young lad sitting here in front of him. And he says:

"Mu'adh, I swear by Allah, I love you so much."

Many of our parents never even done that for us. Imagine the Messenger of Allah turned to him and said, Wallahi, I love you. He says, La tada'anna — Mu'adh, never forget. After every single Salah, don't forget to say:

This du'a is reported in Sunan Abu Dawud, Hadith 1522, and also in Musnad Ahmad. The Prophet ﷺ advised Mu'adh ibn Jabal to recite it after every single Salah.

Say it after me. Allahumma — Oh Allah. A'inni — help me. Ala dhikrika — to remember You. Wa shukrika — to be thankful to You. Wa husni ibadatika — and to worship You beautifully.

That's the first, one of the first things Mu'adh hears from the words of the Prophet ﷺ. Oh Allah, help me to remember You. And help me to be grateful to You. And help me to worship You.

This is the start of the journey. Before you can be a beacon, your engine has to run. And what is the fuel of the heart of the believer? What is the fuel of your heart? It is the remembrance of Allah.
