🕌 Worship in the home · #134

How can we still feel spiritually close even when we live far apart?

Two hearts far apart can still meet before Allah through shared supplication and worship. Pray for your spouse and children by name after prayer, because the prayer of someone far away for their family is deeply sincere. Agree to read the same wirid or short surah each day, so that you feel in step even in different places. Share progress in worship and learning in your conversations, not only worldly matters. Remind each other to pray and be patient. Make it a shared goal to meet again with stronger faith. See du'a & prayer.
