"Make the most of five before five: your youth before old age, your health before sickness, your wealth before poverty, your free time before busyness, and your life before death."

"Allah said: The son of Adam insults Me when he curses time, for I am time. In My Hand are all things, and I cause the night and day to alternate."

"When people call me a good person, I go quiet not because I disagree, but because I know my flaws. If there's any goodness seen in me, it's only because Allah hides my faults and lets the world see what's worth loving."

Ibrahim waited Decades for a child.
Musa waited years in exile.
Yusuf waited in prison.
Yaqub waited with blind eyes.
Ayyub waited through pain.
Nuh waited a lifetime.

Their waiting wasn't wasted.
Waiting is one of the quietest forms of 'ibadah-because even in silence, you're saying: "I trust Allah."

And when the wait ended, Allah rewarded them beyond imagination.

I wish children didn't die.
I wish they would be temporarily elevated to the skies until the war ends.

Then they would return home safe, and when their parents would ask them, where were you? They would say, we were playing in the clouds.

Palestinian poet, Ghassan Kanafani
(1936 - 1972)

"My sin burdened me heavily. But when I measured it against Your Grace, O Lord, Your forgiveness came out greater."

— Imam ash-Shafi`i

Everyone complains about their livelihood, but have you ever found someone who complains about wasting their faith and their life on things that don't benefit them?

One day, your name will be called not for a job, not for money, not for anything in this world.

Your name will be called to stand before Allah. On that day, there will be millions of people, all in fear, all waiting for their turn.

And suddenly, you hear your name being called. At that moment, everything will stop. Your money won't help you, nor your friends, nor your status, nor anything in this world.

You will walk alone, stand alone, and ask alone. About your prayers, about your age, about your heart, about your sins, and about everything you've done in your life.

And at that moment, you will wish you could return to this world, not to gather money, not to live longer, but to prostrate yourself once, say "I seek God's forgiveness" once, and pray a single kneeling prayer with devotion.

But there will be no return.

So ask yourself now: What have you prepared for that day?

One Window A Thousand Last Goodbyes

Close your eyes for a second and picture this.
A father standing behind cold bars pressing his hand against the glass. His little daughter is outside waving back with that innocent smile only kids have. He whispers goodbye my love knowing this is the very last time he will ever see her face. No more hugs. No more stories at bedtime. Just goodbye.

And he is not alone.

Hundreds of fathers mothers sons and daughters are on those buses right now. Thousands in total are being taken to their final moments. Innocent people. No crime. No trial that the world accepts. Just born in a land that brought them this fate. Men women and even children. All facing death by execution.

While we sit here chasing degrees building careers scrolling for the next like planning our perfect futures they are living their last hours.

The only difference between them and us is geopolitical luck. Nothing more.

So today pause everything. Look at your life. Feel it in your chest.

Thank Allah for every ordinary morning you still have.

​"Your wives among the people of Paradise are the loving, the prolific (in children), and those who are responsive to their husbands; the one who, if her husband becomes angry, comes until she puts her hand in his and says, 'I will not taste the sweetness of sleep until you are pleased.'"

(​As-Silsilah as-Sahihah - 287 )

​"To me, women who wear the burqa as a pretense of modesty—yet upload photos with various poses of their hands and eyes—seem even more immodest and indecent than a naked woman."
