Are you interested to bring yourself nearer to Him, our one and only Allah SWT? =)

If yes, here's a recipe to achieve that objective of yours, iAllah!

Spiritual Diet (The main highlight of this post):
1. Constant remembrance of God
2. Silence (i.e. observe and listen more)
3. Solitude (being isolated from everything. Just you, by yourself!)
4. Minimal food & Drink (~fasting)

This diet's aim is to help one to grow closer to the only ONE. And if you think about it, it does make a whole lot of sense! MashaAllah~!
