How to Develop 'Ubudiyyah'
Make this Ramaḍān special by increasing your ʿubūdiyyah through:
🔹 Maʿrifah – Gain a deep awareness of who Allah is and how Majestic and Perfect He is; and then contrast this with your sins and endless shortcomings. See yourself as completely helpless and impoverished: every atom in your body is completely dependent on Him. Thus, constantly seek His help for everything. Rely on Him and turn to Him for all your needs, whether big or small.
🔹 Love – When a servant thinks of how much Allah blesses and endows him, his heart can only be overwhelmed with love for Him.
🔹 Do everything for Him – Even your everyday mundane actions such as eating and drinking can become an act of worship through your intention.
🔹 Humble yourself and show your servitude to Allah – Infuse all your acts of worship with the quality of ʿubūdiyyah. For example, when you fast, fast like an obedient servant, one who does not complain of hunger, but is so eager to please his Master.
Fast with humility, with your heart devoted to Him and with full hope in Him Alone. When you make duʿā’, be like a humble beggar and cry to Him.
This Ramaḍān, train yourself to ask Allah for all your needs, however mundane, throughout the whole day.
We ask Allah, the King of all kings, to make us from His special servants who love Him, humble themselves to Him and submit to Him.
