The Fifth Supplication: “O Allah, whatever blessing has been received by me or anyone of Your creation is from You alone , You have no partner . All praise is for you and thanks is to You.”

The Process of changing our thoughts with these supplication

Change your thoughts, change your life

Follow the steps of Neuro Associative Conditioning (NAC)

1. Decide what you really want: Also what’s preventing you from reaching your goals now.

   If you are a Muwahid (true servant of Allah), but you are still struggling with some issues, then, most likely you want to please Allah and make it to Jannah or you want to be a strong mu’min.

2. Get Leverage: Associate Massive Pain to Not Changing Now and Massive Pleasure to the Experience of Changing Now.

   Massive Pain: Humiliation on the Day of Judgment or entering Hell fire due to some sins you committed to please other people. You could not resist the feelings of peer pressure and so on.

   Massive Pleasure: Entering Jannatul Firdaws with the best believers and people of pure Tawheed. In this world, you enjoy your life with a free soul.

3. Interrupt the limiting patterns: Some ways to interrupt this pattern:
   • Tell yourself to stop paving attention to puny humans who do not have an atom weight of control over your destiny.
   • They do not bring to you any benefit or harm. They can not move you forward or hold you back.
   • Think about their limitations and weaknesses.
   • When in Janazah prayer, imagine yourself in the coffin and the fact that none of them is able to help you with anything. Your best friend at that time is pure Tawheed.
   • If you keep doing this fight against your negative inner thoughts, Allah will support you and bless you with guidance. Reflect on the following ayah. Allah says:

     “And those who strive for Our Sake- We will surely guide them to Our ways. And Indeed, Allah is with the doers of good.” (Al Ankabut:69)

     Do Not Give Up! Keep Stirivng!

4. Renew your life with a new empowering alternative: The only alternative for the limitations mentioned above is to be a great Muwahid who is not willing to settle for less than he can be.

   Being a true servant of Allah and a strong Mu’min is the best you can be. Pleasing Allah is your highest priority.

   Our deen is an enormous source of strength and insight that enables us to discover our true purpose and take control of our life.

   Pure Tawheed will set you free. The best way to reinforce your tawheed is to get engaged in learning and Dhikr. Allah says:

   “So Know, (O Muhammad), that there is no diety excpet Allah and ask forgiveness for your sin and for the believing men and believing women.” (Muhammad: 19)

5. Condition the new alternative until he becomes a habit.: The easiest way to condition something is simply to rehearse it again and again until a neutral pathway is created. The new alternative becomes a second nature.

   The best way to achieve outstanding results is to recite the morning/evening supplications with a present mind and heart. Contemplate their beauty and appreciate their value. Perform this daily Ibadah with love and desire.
