The Main Takeaway Today:
The battle against a baseless fear was fought and won in a single day, proving that spiritual effort and sincere Dua bring instant peace and clarity that no amount of analysis alone can provide.
Sleep and Focus
· Slept: I went to bed around 12:00 AM
· Woke up: I got up at 8:00 AM.
Things I Need to Remember
· Remember the peace from the Dua yesterday and try to keep it all day long.
· Dedicate proper, quiet chunks of time just for Skool, without any office distractions.
· Try hard not to miss Fajr tomorrow.
Starting the Day
The Most Important Jobs:
· I didn't want to waste time on my phone or get dragged into unnecessary social media scrolling.
Food and Exercise
· Breakfast (9:00 AM): Tea, bread, and maybe some fruit.
· Lunch (2:00 PM): Simple homemade food, like rice and curry.
· Dinner (7:00 PM): Light dinner, maybe soup and toast.
· Exercise: I took a nice, long walk for over an hour, which helped me think.
Good Things That Happened Today:
· I finally dedicated several hours and finished four Skool videos! Therefore, I feel much more on track with my goals.
· Despite the weekend distraction, I managed to pray Zohr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha right on time. That was a big improvement.
· The long walk gave me time to think calmly, consequently, I felt mentally refreshed and ready for the new work week.
· I helped a neighbor with a small task, and it felt good to be useful outside of work.
Mistakes and What I Learned:
· I still missed Fajr, which means I need a stronger evening routine to ensure earlier sleep.
· Hence, the biggest lesson today is that weekend discipline is just as important as weekday discipline for long-term consistency.
Prayer Log
· Fajr: sadly missed it.
· Zohr: prayed 1:15 PM.
· Asr: 5:20 PM
· Maghrib: 5:45 PM.
· Isha: 8:45 PM
Final Thoughts
The morning found me struggling. Even though I woke up, the worry about the message I sent to my senior was still heavy. This vague, unclear state of mind had already wasted more than a day in useless thoughts.
In an effort to break free, I first had a sudden idea to check the message again, using ChatGPT to review my communication tone. The AI confirmed what my logic should have told me: the message was perfectly straightforward and had nothing to do with anxiety.
But the emotional fear was still there. I asked myself what truly brings calm. Consequently, a clear message came: I must start Istighfar (asking for forgiveness). While surfing the internet on my mobile, I stumbled across the Dua: "Rabbi Annee Maghloobun Fantasir" (رب انی مغلوب فاانتصر / My Rabb, indeed I am overpowered, so help me).
I recited the Dua only a few times and continued with Istighfar. Then, to my complete surprise, my phone notified me: a reply from the recipient had arrived. It simply said, "Thank you for sharing." That short note instantly brought a surge of peace, calmness, and immense relief. The fear vanished.
Immediately following this peace, I took action out of thankfulness. I grabbed my son, and we went to the mosque, where an announcement was made for donations for reconstruction. He went along with me, and right there, he sweetly recited Surah Kausar. I donated some money and sincerely thanked Allah with a happy heart.
