A Tongue That Never Dries
Introduction
In the name of Allah… Peace be upon you…
Friends, be grateful when your tongue is moved easily to pray and your heart no longer hesitates to ask Him. Not everyone finds it easy to turn to Allah, because many people are quicker to complain to others than to speak to Him. When your tongue becomes accustomed to asking from Him, that is a sign that you are being led toward His mercy and grace.
Asking from Him is not limited to formal worship. It should become a living attitude of the heart wherever you are. The kindness you receive from people should never distract you from the One who is the true source of all kindness. Pray wherever you are, because every sincere supplication brings the servant near to the Giver. Whoever often turns to Him will come to know that nearness more deeply.
When your tongue is moved to ask, it means He wants to give you.
