What a powerful group call with coach Allahumabarik! The one thing that stayed with me:
You are a Muslim. That itself is an honor.
You’re not just a doctor. You’re a Muslim doctor.
You’re not just an engineer. You’re a Muslim engineer.
You’re not just a student. You’re a Muslim student.
You are Muslim. And that changes everything.
So your intentions cannot be small or ordinary.
They must be connected to Allah سبحانه وتعالى.
This reminded me of the first ever video I watched from Coach Mohammad’s page:
Islam looks for quality, not quantity.
It’s not about how much you do.. it’s about the state of your heart.
And that’s where intention comes in.
We don’t just do things. We have to check our hearts while doing them. Ask yourself:
Why am I doing this?
Who am I doing it for?
Is my heart connected to Allah?
Because when your intention is right, everything you do becomes meaningful. Whatever happens, with the right intention, you are already winning your Akhira and Dunya
Your studies are not just studies:
• A blessing from Allah, an opportunity that many people don’t have
• Intend to learn, grow, and build yourself
• Intend to use your degree to help others for the sake of Allah
• Intend to share knowledge and earn reward through the journey
University itself can be for your akhirah:
• Lowering your gaze
• Choosing good company
• Joining beneficial spaces
• Growing closer to Allah through your difficult moments and tests
Your job or work is not just work:
• Intend to provide for yourself and your family
• Stay away from haram (السرقة)
• Providing for your family is charity
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“A dinar you spend in Allah’s way… the greatest reward is what you spend on your family.” [Muslim]
“دينارٌ أنفقته… أعظمها أجرًا الذي أنفقته على أهلك.”
The gym is not just fitness:
•It is taking care of the amanah Allah gave you
•To stay strong and protect yourself and the weak
Joining DMA, working on yourself is not just self development:
• You are building yourself for your future
• For your family, your spouse, your children
• What you learn now will stay with you and you will pass it on to your family and kids inshaAllah
Even sleeping is not just sleeping:
• It is resting so you can wake up and worship Allah better
And there is more and more subhanAllah!
That’s the beauty of Islam alhamduliAllah
