Gratitude is the only mindset that lies at the heart of happiness, patience and hard work.

It helps us stay positive and content, drives us to work harder in life and also helps us see all of our problems in a completely different light.

﷽

The Sharīʾah was legislated by the one who created you.

It was legislated in your best interest, for you to live your best life.

So why do you keep running away from it?

Key 🔑 to happiness

You know what doesn't get enough credit? Quitting. Giving up. When something doesn't feel right for you, when you no longer find joy in something. Quit. It's fine. Not everything needs a period of overthinking. Istikārah, bismillāh and tawakkul.

The Messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

"The distinguishing factor between kufr [disbelief] & Imān is the deliberate neglect of ṣalāh." [مسلم]
-
The one who secures his ṣalāh, It will be nūr, evidence & salvation for him on the day of judgement.

[Musnad Aḥmad]

Du'ā' for forgiveness

Our self-image is dynamic and changing.

While a positive self-image helps us recognise and own our potentials while being realistic about our limitations, a negative self-image can drive us to focus only on our weaknesses, distorting failure and imperfections.

Creating a positive self-image is a process of learning and unlearning that can go on over a lifetime.

Always start your day with Sūrah Yāsīn - either reciting or listening to it

كم من مجهول في الأرض معروف في السماء

"How many people are unknown on earth, but highly recognised in the heavens."

This world is but a delusion. The truly famous are those who will be honoured on judgement day with divine pleasure & acceptance.

May Allāh ﷻ make us amongst them. Āmīn

Just because things haven’t gone the way you wanted, does not mean you’ve failed. You’re being redirected. And you’ll continue to be redirected until you reach where you’re meant to, with the people you’re meant to be with and having learned the lessons you’re meant to learn.

3 things that will make us love the Qur'ān

(@reflectionsformyself)

Mental health is one of the most important aspects of wellbeing. Stay well. Keep mentally positive even if it means being distracted and remember that the best shifā’ is the Qur'ān

وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاء وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ.

Du'ā' before and after finishing wuḍūʾ

Abū Hurayrah رضي الله عنه as he wept just before he died:

"I do not weep for your world! I weep because of the far journey I am going on and the little provision I have. Now I have ensued on a climb that will end in settling down in a Paradise or a Fire, and I do not know to which of them I will be taken."

(Ḥilyatul al-Auliyā, 1 /383)
