As we are now in the autumn of our lives, we look for inspirations to help support us with these bounties we have received . It is said that we can inspire others and be good role models now to others ..younger than us.
To become stronger mentally is one way to do this .. so we turn to the sunna of the Prophet. This month of Shaban is HIS month in which he will come to our assistance when we ask . Let us all become focussed on our intimate relationship with HIM and His messenger's ways. This month is the 30 days in which we can find our best guidance for the rest of the year ...
At its finish , we can be mentally prepared for the repentance of Ramadan and its inherent forgiveness and HOPE for the Hereafter . This is mankind's ONLY hope for earthly and after life's PEACE. I truly believe that Humanity can be saved by attaching itself to the truth of Mohammed's sunnah .
We will be better thru our surrender .

isra miraj 1431
I am so humble on this day ... as I realize how small I am standing beside the character of OUR Prophet ...
As I was young , I tried to reach for the intensity of HIS message and practice the art of HIS sunna . I now have come to see how frail and weak my body actually is and my willpower too. I hope tonight for HIS continued understanding of me , HIS love and compassion to forgive me and HIS abundant showering of GRACE to support my inner desires to please HIM . I want to be HIS devoted servant . Let me reach up to the best that I can be ...in Your name .
To travel to Jerusalem on a stead on a spiritual Journey is made for only ONE MAN ... let us each try in small ways to lighten our path by loving others, being charitable when we can , follow right from wrong, think about and pray for others as we miss them ...
Make us strong in our FAITH and HOLD TIGHT to its ropeline.

Isra Meraj 1431
To reach, To seek , to understand the power greater than each of us ..seems to be my human mission . This night of prayer and soul searching will be another attempt to do this . In all humility , I realize that what I am is only " matter" and if I can cherish the "ruh" within that matter , then I may have understood the POWER. To be truly grateful for all that I am , and have been given is my connection to the POWER. As I recollect the Prophet's life and how he taught us ... his sunna become quite significant. Please let me continue to learn to follow the Sunna ..without distorting any of its meaning .
Scholars teach NOT to embellish past events ...simply give them their due respect . So too ISRA MIRAJ was the Prophet's journey ... not mine ... I can only ask for what is due to me for my inspiration . Let me pray for only that ...not more or less ... what is owing to me on this earthly journey . THe rest will follow in the hereafter ...if I am deserving from this life.
Love and blessings to Islam, the Prophet and all that I have been taught .
