‏مجالسة الصالحين تحولك من ستة إلى ستة:
Sitting with the righteous changes six to six:

من الشك إلى اليقين
From doubt to certainty

من الرياء إلى الإخلاص
From showing off to sincerity

من الغفلة إلى الذكر
From loss to remembrance

‏من الرغبة في الدنيا إلى الرغبة في الآخرة
From striving in the dunya to striving for the akhirah

من الكبر إلى التواضع
From arrogance to humility

ومن سوء النية الى نصيحة
And from ill intentions to sincere advise

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

"When the heart looses shyness, it will like the disliked and dislike the liked (things to Allāh)."

[الطب النبوي ص ٣٣٧]

“Do not grieve over what has passed unless it makes you work harder for what is about to come.”

['Umar Ibn Al-Khattab رضي الله عنه]

If you memorise The Speech of Allāh, It will preserve you.

If you honour the Qurʾān, It will honour you.

If you hold the Qurʾān in high esteem, it will raise you.

اللهم اجعلنا من اهل القرآن

Accepting that which Allāh has decreed is a source of comfort and relief. At times we strive for something and we are not given the success to attain it. It wasn't decreed! However, the success is attained when we accept that which Allāh has decreed with faith and patience.

‏أنصح إخواني جميعهم أنصحهم أن يخلصوا أعمالهم لله عز وجل ، فان الإخلاص شأنه شأن عظيم ، الاخلاص سبب لنصر الدعوة

“I advise all of my brothers that they make their actions sincerely for Allāh ﷻ.

For indeed, the matter of al-Ikhlāṣ (sincerity) is magnificent.

Al-Ikhlāṣ is a cause for the aid of the daʿwah.

[مقبل بن هادي الوادعي]

‏لسنا سوى عابرين سبيل في هذه الحياة
سنمضي يوما تاركين خلفنا كل شيء للأحياء

'We are only travellers in this life,
we'll pass [on] one day, leaving everything behind us for the living'

Qārī 'Ādil Yūsuf Qur'ān Recitation

Abū Hurayrah رضي الله عنه said:

"When the deceased person has died the angels say: 'What has he sent forth (for himself)' and the people say: 'What has he left behind (for us)'."

[ابن أبي شيبة 127/7]

Reading books. Going on walks. Coffee shops. Journaling. Good grades. Shopping. Self care. Learning. Hobbies. Building skills. Traveling. New places, new people.

Just evolving and having fun.

Imām 'Uthaymīn رحمه الله stated:

"The person is tested with two matters when he reads the Qurān:

1. Either laziness and not being persistent in reading.

2. Not contemplating (over the meaning)."

[شرح بلوغ المرام (٥٠/٢)]

By Allāh ﷻ, the idea of death is terrifying, but as soon as you remember this Ḥādith:

( من أحبَّ لقاء الله أحبَّ الله لِقاءَه )
“Whoever loves to meet Allāh ﷻ, Allah loves to meet him.”

Your fear subsides, your soul calms and your heart is cleared.

When the timing is right, you’ll meet the person destined for you, in the most beautiful of ways. You’ll see how they ease the pain in your heart and make you feel whole with the love they give. They’ll remind you of why the others didn’t work. Why you had to go through heartache after heartache.

And you’ll be so so thankful to Allāh for blessing you with someone who brings you happiness & contentment. You’ll look into their eyes and feel a sense of peace no one else has made you feel. You’ll know they’re the only one you want to spend your life with.

Trust Allāh ﷻ

هل نسيت ان الله يفرح بتوبتك؟
Have you forgotten that Allah rejoices with your repentance?

هل نسيت انه الغفور الودود؟
Have you forgotten that He is the Most Forgiving and the Most Loving?
