التواضع
Humbleness

قال النَّبي ﷺ:
The Prophet ﷺ said:

مَا نَقَصَتْ صَدَقَةٌ مِنْ مَالٍ،
“Charity does not decrease wealth,

وَمَا زَادَ اللَّهُ عَبْدًا بِعَفْوٍ إِلَّا عِزًّا،
And Allāh increases the honor of the one who forgives,

وَمَا تَوَاضَعَ أَحَدٌ للَّهِ إِلَّا رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ
And no one will humble himself for Allāh’s sake except that Allāh raises his status.”

[رواه مسلم]

Muʿādh Bin Jabal رضي الله عنه said:

"Learn what you wish, but Allāh ﷻ will not reward you until you act".

Prepare For The Hereafter

Side note: listen to the Shaykh’s voice as he recites the different verses of Qur'ān, his eyes started to flood with tears.

That’s how we should be.

Imām al-Bukhārī (رحمه الله) was distinguished with three qualities:

1. He never spoke much.

2. He never yearned for what people had.

3. He would never occupy himself with other people’s affairs; all his attention was towards knowledge.

[Siyar A’lām an-Nubalā’ 12/449]

Focus on being the best version of yourself. If you are doing a little better than yesterday, it’s a small win to celebrate.

Don’t lose hope in that which Allāh ﷻ can give you

Imām Shāfiʿī رحمه الله said:

"To be able to thank Allāh for a blessing, is a blessing within itself."

[Imām Nawawī, Etiquette with the Qurʾān, p. 20]

Sins have an effect on us and the things around us, bounties of Allāh ﷻ can be taken away, misfortunes can befall due to our sins and surely its effects are manifested in the sinners life.

Fear the consequences of the sin and do good as much as you can to enjoy the eternal bliss.
