There is nothing more valuable than time. Our lives are short and the beating in our chests that we think about so little, will cease one day. The tireless heart, that pumps tens of thousands of times as you lie sleep, will finally rest.

“And this worldly life is not but diversion and amusement. And indeed, the home of the Hereafter - that is the [eternal] life, if only they knew.”

[Sūrah ʿAnkabūt 64]

So pain and difficulty are either (in reality) kindness and raḥmah (ie: mercy),
فالآلام والمشاق إما إحسان ورحمة

Or ʿadl (ie: justice) and ḥikmah (ie: wisdom),
وإما عدل وحكمة

Or iṣlāḥ (ie: rectification) and preparation for khayr (ie: goodness) which is to come.
وإما إصلاح وتهيئة لخير يحصل بعدها

Or they are prevention for a harm that would have been far greater.
وإما لدفع ألم هو أصعب منها

Ibn al-Qayyim, Shifāʾ al-ʿAlīl 1/250
ابن القيم، شفاء العليل ١/٢٥٠

A man was asked: How do you maintain and preserve your five daily prayers?

He said: I realized that no one would accept meeting me five times a day in all my conditions, happy, sad, broken, weak, strong except for The Most Merciful

'Abdul-Qādir Al-Jilānī رحمه الله stated:

"O my son, the calamity hasn't come to destroy you, it has only come to test your patience and faith. The calamity is the bellow of the servant, therefore, he either comes out as gold or filth."

Indeed, this Qur'an guides to that which is most suitable and gives good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a great reward.

Al-Isra', Ayah 9

You are important

Be soft with yourself on hard days.

Don't lose yourself.
Protect yourself.
Listen to yourself.
Allow yourself to move forward.
Give yourself credit.
Forgive yourself.
Believe in yourself.
Above all else, love yourself

“Whoever wants comfort and ease in the hereafter, abandons comfort and ease in the worldly life.”

[Shaykh Khalid b. Ismā’il]

Say Alḥamdulillāh, let the heart be grateful before the tongue, recognise what you have and give from your blessings to those whom you can reach near and far.

May Allāh ﷻ make us appreciative to Him, and generous to others.

Setting personal boundaries is important in preserving emotional, mental and physical energy.

Without boundaries we can be left feeling drained, tired or taken advantage of.

What is the Qadr of Allāh ﷻ?

[Shaykh Bilal Assad]

How do you connect with Allāh ﷻ after you've been through alot and got lost on the way

[Aminabinteharith]

Prepare For Ramaḍān
