Humble Yourself for Allah: A Majlis on Tawfiq and Seeking Usefulness

All ability and progress in life and faith come solely from Allah's 'tawfiq' (divine enabling).
Without Allah's direct help, we are utterly helpless and cannot achieve anything, even the smallest tasks.
Even when experiencing spiritual progress or success, we must always remain humble and attribute it entirely to Allah's grace.
We should earnestly supplicate to Allah to make us useful, to bring a turning point in our lives, and to remove laziness and lethargy.
Ask Allah to instill within us the spirit and desire to engage in good actions ('aamal') for our faith, worldly life, and afterlife.
Reflect on the wasted years and ask Allah to make the remaining time productive and to awaken us from spiritual heedlessness.
Pray for a transformation in our attitude, our relationship with Allah, and our relationship with the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Our last days should be spent living in Allah's love and devoted to Him.
