One of the best ways to find joy in worship

Dear Islamic brothers! One of the best ways to find joy in your acts of worship is to adopt the company of Allāh’s pious servants. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـهِ Through spending time with them, listening to their words, looking at them with love and attempting to become like them, one will find the hardness of his heart begin to disappear. Also, one will begin to think and prepare regarding their Hereafter.

Sayyidunā JaꜤfar b. Sulaymān رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه once recalled, “Whenever I found hardness in my heart, I would visit Muḥammad b. WāsiꜤ رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه in the morning. By doing so, I would receive great benefit.”^[1]
