The one who desires to purify his heart and soul must have a healthy relationship with the act of dua.

You shall never attain Tezghia to Nafs. You shall never be on the journey to purify your Kalb.

If you don't have a strong t'alluq and relationship with the concept of dua.

And as I said yesterday, it's not what you say, it's how you say it.

It's not the words that come from your mouth. It is the spirit you feel in your soul.

It is the knee that you have, the sincerity that you have.

A few days ago I told you that one of the goals, in fact the primary goal of Tezghia to Nafs is to attain the pleasure of Allah and to be in the proximity of Allah.

In the whole Quran, Allah mentions his name Al-Karib only once.

So we want to be close to Allah and Allah says he is Qarib.

But he only mentions this name with one act.

Allah mentions the concept of Qurb of proximity and closeness only when he talks about the etiquette of dua and the concept of dua.

You are the closest you shall ever be to Allah when you are making dua especially in such a way.

You shall never be closer to Allah than when you are making dua.

So if you want to be close to Allah, you want to purify your Kalb, you want to attain Tezghia to Nafs.

Well then, the chapter of dua, the regularity of dua, the consistency of dua must be something that is demonstrable in your daily life.

Brothers and sisters, dua doesn't need to be said only at one time after salat or distant know.

When you start your car going to work, make dua to Allah.

When you are sitting waiting in traffic, make dua to Allah.

When you are sitting and doing nothing, make dua to Allah.

Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, dua should be a constant thing that you constantly do.

And our Prophet ﷺ encouraged us to make dua so many traditions, he said nothing is more noble in the eyes of Allah than the act of dua.
