1. Understand and Memorize the meaning of everything that's said during salat
2. Understand and Memorize the meaning of each Surah you use for salat.
3. Try not to repeat one surah on every salat or everyday. The more you pray, the more you learn meanings of other surah(s) so you can use for salat
4. Keep your surroundings clean and tidy
5. If you have to cook while you pray make sure you reduce your gas so you are not rushing cause of food.
6. If you are very hungry, the Hadith says to eat and settle down to offer salat.
7. If you really need to use to washroom, the Hadith says to go and come back,settle down for salat.
8. Dress nicely and decent; Remember salat is a conversation between Allah and thyself
Women should remember to wear dresses to cover the feet or socks. Men should remember no 3/4 or armless.
9. Before you begin a particular salat, plan the surah you want to recite
10. Never begin without saying "Bismillah"
11. When you begin to offer salat,Imagine the Holy ka'haba right infront of you
12. Don't recite too fast or too slow but while you recite, ponder upon every word you utter
13. If you yawn during salat,cover your mouth with your hand
14. Challenge yourself to Perform Nawafil (all Nawafils are not 2 rakkah, if you need a break down... I have it posted on my page or text me)
15. Remember Allah is watching you as you stand, do your best and try to impress Him
16. Upon completing salat, the very first thing to say is "astaghfirullah" cause no matter how much we worship, it can never be sufficient.
"Bismillah" before we begin and "astaghfirullah" when we end.
Let's not forget, Improvement not perfection
May Allah accept all our prayers. Amin

My message to men who complain about girls who don't dress modestly on their Instagram timeline
Brothers need to understand that the Quran says they should observe hijab first, not women. You are responsible to lower your gaze too cause when Allah spoke about lowering the gaze,He spoke to you first and that's not a typo cause Al Quran is perfect.
Al Quran commands you not to stare at women and not to be promiscuous.
Quran 24:30 obliges you to observe modesty: “Say to the believing men that they restrain their eyes and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Surely, Allah is well aware of what they do.”
I am not saying that it's okay for a woman to show her skin in public but I want you to understand that everyone is responsible for their actions. The eyes, mouth,hands will bear witness on the day of judgement.
If you can not advise a sister who is dressing anyhow on your TL, it is your responsibility to safeguard yourself from seeing her post.
To block or unfollow is the way to show that you do not enjoy seeing them and In as much as you want to live in the dunya to get to Jannah,You should find every means of separating yourself from fitna.
Quran 66:6 "O ye who believe! save yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is Men and Stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern (and) severe, who flinch not (from executing) the Commands they receive from Allah, but do (precisely) what they are commanded."
If a sister deprives joy in posting pictures of her cleavage and wears clothes that are revealing, allow her enjoy but remove yourself from it.
Don't complain and stare,rather you should love yourself enough to not want to see her body cause you fear the punishment of your grave.
A very beautiful woman approached the Prophet SAW to seek his guidance on some religious matters and Al Fadl began to stare at her because of her beauty and the Prophet SAW did not scold the woman for dressing immodestly or revealing her beauty. Instead, he “reached his hand backwards, catching Al Fadl’s chin, and turned his face to the other side so that he would not gaze at her”. When a man chooses to accept Islam, He chooses to observe hijab first cause it's obligation.
I advise to stop obsessing over women, and worry about reforming yourself

My message to a sister who feels ignored and different because she wears Hijab
Because you wear hijab and people are separating themselves from you is a blessing.
Allah is making those people show you their true self cause He wants to keep you close so instead of worrying about people who do not like your hijab, you should be drawing closer to Allah cause He is inviting you for better friendship.
HIJAB is from the greatest of the greatest and anyone who doesn't like you for wearing it doesn't like the Quran, Allah, Islam and even you.
Everyday we stand to offer salat and we say "All glory belongs to Allah" part of the glory that belongs to Allah is you wearing the hijab.
Also, stop telling people you wear hijab cause you were brought up to wear it.
The answer to why you wear hijab is in Quran 33:59 " o prophet!!! Tell your wives and your daughters and believing women that they should draw over themselves some of their outer garments when in public so as to be RECOGNIZED and not HARMED. Allah is most forgiving and merciful"
You wear the hijab so people will know you as;
A woman they can not flirt with
A woman that will not exchange her contact only if it's necessary
A woman who is representing something good so cause they have bad in them they shouldn't come close
A woman that should be spoken to softly
Don't worry if you don't have friends at school cause you wear hijab. You go to school to learn so learn so you can succeed in life, let them continue to laugh and start to miss out on assignments and lose concentration as a student.
Allah is your friend, your mum is your friend, I am your friend so when you need someone to talk to,text me and in loosing people you should find strength and confidence.
Don't feel bad inside cause Quran 2:286 says
“ALLAH does not burden a soul more than it can bear” so HIJAB is a blessing sent directly to you from Allah.
Quran 29.2
“Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: “We believe,” and will not be tested?” So embrace the test, embrace the fact that people see you differently, embrace everything cause you believe and bear witness that "There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is his messenger." This is the basic statement of your faith. Don't let people mess with you.
Allah is your friend.
How to make dua from the Quran
Al Quran has the best dua and those dua are not just there to be read and move to the next verse of the Quran.
When we read the Quran, it's advisable for us to take some seconds/minutes and apply that dua into our lives when we see one. For instance;
When we read something about Noah/Ibrahim/Moses asking Allah for guidance, let's say stuff like Ya'Allah Noah asked you for guidance and you granted him,please guide me and continue to guide me too... (Amin)then continue to read.
When we read something about hell, let's say stuff like Ya'Allah please remove my name from people who will enter hell and add mine to people who will enter your kingdom.
I also suggest we either search for a book that has all the prayers from the Quran or write them down when we come across any dua or memorize them as many as we can.
There are so many,such as
1. prayers for our parents and you can find them in (Quran 17:24,46:15,71:28,27:19,14:41 and so on)
2. Prayers for repentance (Quran 9:112,2:222,16:119)
3. Prayers for guidance (Quran 7:43,18:10,6:77,3:8,28:22)
4. Prayers for patience (Quran 44:12,7:126,16:127,14:12,89:27-30)
5. Prayers to Thank Allah (Quran 39:66,45:36-37,7:43,28-70,27:40)
6. Prayer to give you ginger that Allah is near you (Quran 2:186,50:16-18,40:60,58:1,8:9 and lot more)
7. Prayer to Seek Help from Allah (Quran 2:127,21:112,7:196,27:62)
8. Prayer for peace (Quran 7:55-56,7:74,5:64,10:10,31:18,)
9. Prayer for forgiveness (Quran 2:285-286,3:15-17,7:23,40:1-3,3:193,3:135-136 and lot more
10. Prayers made by the Prophets (phu"them") Quran 21:89-90,19:22-7,23:29,12:33-34,23:26,12:86,11:47,27:18-19 and many more.
Above all,These are the dua(s) we should hold close to our hearts cause they come from the Quran.
May Allah Azzawajal continue to make us steadfast in this religion and grant us Jannah at the end of it.
Your sister,
Bintmukthar
