Selawat Experience: Ruhainies Day 33 - A Journey of Peace and Reflection

Hey everyone! So, Day 33 of my Ruhainies journey, and wow, what a ride it's been. For those who don't know, Ruhainies is a 40-day spiritual retreat I embarked on, focusing on Selawat, the Islamic practice of sending blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It's been intense, beautiful, and honestly, way more challenging than I ever imagined.

I'll be honest, the first few days were a total struggle. My mind was a total mess – work emails, family stuff, you name it, it was all buzzing around in my head. I felt like I was failing miserably at this whole "spiritual retreat" thing. I mean, I’m trying to meditate, focus on Selawat, but my phone is blowing up! It was frustrating.

<h3>The Power of Consistent Selawat</h3>

Then, something shifted around Day 10. I started to notice a subtle change. Maybe it was the consistent practice of Selawat, maybe it was just my brain finally shutting up, but I found a strange sense of calm. It wasn't a sudden, dramatic transformation, more like a gradual easing of tension. Like a knot slowly untying itself. This experience really highlighted the importance of consistency in spiritual practices. It's not about grand gestures, but about the small, daily acts of devotion.

I started to understand the true power of Selawat – it wasn't just about reciting words; it was about connecting with something bigger than myself. It's about cultivating inner peace, and that's been the biggest takeaway so far.

<h4>My Biggest Mistake (and How I Fixed It)</h4>

One thing I initially struggled with was finding the right time for my Selawat practice. I tried squeezing it in between meetings, during my lunch break – total chaos. I felt rushed, distracted, and honestly, it made the whole experience feel less meaningful.

Then, I decided to wake up an hour earlier. Sounds simple, right? But it totally changed things. That quiet hour, before the world started buzzing, was pure magic. I found myself able to focus better, to really feel the Selawat. Lesson learned: schedule your spiritual practice; it's not something to squeeze in, but something to prioritize.

<h3>Practical Tips for Your Own Selawat Journey</h3>

So, what are my tips for anyone thinking about exploring Selawat or strengthening their own practice?

• Find your time: Don't just wing it. Schedule your Selawat time, even if it's just 5 minutes a day. Consistency is key.
• Create a peaceful environment: Light a candle, play calming music – whatever helps you focus.
• Start small: Don't try to do too much too soon. Start with a short duration, and gradually increase it.
• Be patient: It takes time to develop a spiritual practice. Don't get discouraged if you don't see results immediately. Remember that spiritual growth takes time.

Day 33 of my Ruhainies journey? I'm feeling more centered, more at peace, and frankly, pretty darn grateful for this experience. The Selawat has become a constant companion, a source of strength and solace in my life. I still have a ways to go. But it's been a journey of transformation and I'm incredibly excited about the next 7 days.
