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?

Busy yourself with anything beneficial. Whether it’s for your spiritual benefit, physical, nutritional, mental, home life. Whatever it is, make use of your time and do not allow the devil to make use of your idle mind.

Never get too attached to this world, because attachments leads to expectations and expectations leads to disappointments. Attach yourself and become closer to your Creator for no disappointments.

Drop all that baggage that slows you down and remain focused on your goals.

Indeed, Allāh ﷻ promises to

“Provide for the believer from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allāh, then he is sufficient for him".

[Al Qur'ān 65:3]

Drag your soul to goodness until it comes willingly.

بيت بلا كتب جسد بلا روح
A house without books is a body without a soul.

Being unable to read was a virtue of the Prophet ﷺ and a sign of his prophethood but it is a defect in you!

Reading is so important, especially if you’re a student.

Even if you aren’t technically studying formally, reading expands your mind and grants you insight that you otherwise would not have.

Be attentive to this and peel your eyes away from social media and other forms of entertainment in order to develop yourself.

Carry a book on your person at all times. Different ones too if you want. Read a fixed portion every day.

Note down and summarise what you read and learn.

Discuss and share this with others!

May Allah increase our knowledge.

آمين يا رب العالمين
