No Distance!
There is no real distance between you and Him ﷻ in order for you to journey to Him. And the connection between you and Him is not cut in order for you to seek to mend it. Allah ﷻ says:
وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِى عَنِّى فَإِنِّى قَرِيبٌ ۖ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ ٱلدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ ۖ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لِى وَلْيُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِى لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ
(O Prophet), if My servants ask you about Me, I am near. I respond to those who call Me, so let them respond to Me, and believe in Me, so that they may be guided [Al Qur’an 2:186]

1-Shahada لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله
What is the Shahada?
The Shahada (لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله) is the Arabic term for the declaration of faith in one God (Allah) and His messenger.
What does the Shahada mean?
Transliteration: “Ash-hadu an la ilaha illa Allah, Wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulu-Allah.”
Translation: “I bear witness that there is no God but God (Allah – i.e. there is none worthy of worship but Allah), and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.”
It is the most sacred statement in Islam, and must be recited with full understanding and mindfulness of it’s meaning.
Why is the Shahada important?
The belief in one Allah is the central tenet of the Islamic faith, around which all else revolves. Muslims are continuously reminded of this foundational belief, in the recital of the Shahada (shahadah) during each of the five daily prayers, as well as many more pivotal moments of a Muslim’s life.
The second part of the Shahada requires Muslims to acknowledge and testify to the belief in the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as Allah’s messenger. This serves as a reminder to Muslims of the importance of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), but also as a reminder to never associate partners with Allah, for He is just a messenger, and Allah remains one God alone.
Five facts about the Shahada
1: One of the 5 pillars
The Shahadah is one of the five pillars of Islam. It is a sacred testament given for Muslims to uphold throughout their lifetime and embody in all of their actions and intentions.
2: Recitation in the Athan
The Shahadah is recited in the Athan (call to prayer).
3: Recitation during Salah
Muslims recite the Shahadah once or twice in their Salah, which they are obliged to do during five different times of the day.
4: Acceptance of Islam
When someone wishes to convert to Islam as their religion, reciting the Shahadah marks their entrance into Islam and their life as a Muslim.
5: Recitation to newborns
The Shahadah is spoken as the first words a Muslim baby hears upon entering the world as part of the adhan, and Muslims strive for the Shahadah to be their last words upon their death.

Branches of faith: Maintaining ties of kinship (P1)
Ties of kinship refers to a person’s bond with his paternal and maternal relatives. Maintaining kinship implies being righteous and kind toward them in both words and actions, by visiting them, asking after them, and financially supporting the needy amongst them.
In the Qur’an, Allah (SWT) commands the believers with 10 commandments, the 4th of which is maintaining ties of kinship.👇
“Worship Allâh and join none with Him (in worship); and do good to parents, and to kinsfolk, …”[An-Nisâ’: 36]
In a Divine narration حَدِيثٌ قُدْسِيّ (which, from the perspective of its meaning, is from Allah (SWT), and from the perspective of its wording, from the prophet), Our prophet (ﷺ) said:
”قَالَ اللَّهُ أَنَا اللَّهُ وَأَنَا الرَّحْمَنُ خَلَقْتُ الرَّحِمَ وَشَقَقْتُ لَهَا مِنَ اسْمِي فَمَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلْتُهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا بَتَتُّهُ.”
“Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, said, ‘I am Allah and I am Ar-Rahman (The Merciful): I have created Ar-Rahem (ties of kinship) and derived a name for it from My Name. I maintain connection with he who maintains it, and I shall cut off anyone who severs it.’ [At-Tirmidhi]
