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)

A message to those who despair from the forgiveness and mercy of Allāh ﷻ

[Shaykh Saʿīd Al-Kamalī حفظه الله]

(@reflectionsformyself)

As soon as you realise that everything is truly controlled by Allāh you will be happier.

You need to internalise it. Every little thing is controlled by Allāh so if something goes wrong, something will go right and if you're sad today, tomorrow you will be happier.

Qur'ān Recitation Of My Teacher Mawlānā Muḥammad Aḥmad حفظه الله

(@reflectionsformyself)

Ibn Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“... when blessed, give thanks; when tried, preserve; and when sinful, seek forgiveness. For these three conditions are tokens of the servant’s happiness...”

[Al-Wabil Al-Sayyib pg. 1]

Hardness of the heart

May Allāh save us and forgive us for our shortcomings. آمين يا رب العالمين

[beardedfella____]

The Messenger Of Allāh ﷺ said:

“How amazing is the affair of the believer. All of his affair is amazing. Allāh does not ordain an affair for him except that it is good for him. If something pleasing comes to him, he is grateful and that is better for him. And if something harmful afflicts him, he shows patience and that is better for him."

Related by Muslim (no. 2999), Ibn Ḥibbān (no. 2896), al-Bayhaqī in Shuʾab al-Imān (no. 4487)

On slowing it down, gentleness, honesty & understanding. It’s a two way process. Allowing it in. Giving it back.

From the obstacles that prevent one from understanding the Qur'ān:

▪︎The reciter is consistently upon sin.

▪︎The reciter has the description of arrogance.

▪︎The reciter is afflicted with following evil desires.

Indeed, that is the cause of the darkness of the heart."

[مختصر منهاج القاصدين، لابن قدامة]

Important Reminder

Your spouse is a rizq from Allāh. Like everything in life, have Tawakkul that this provision too will reach you when the time is right.

- Mawlānā Ḥuzaifah Ṣāleḥ

Short Istikārah du'ā' for on the spot decisions

The success of others doesn't equate to your failure. Every individual will have a unique quality that will give value to the people who are around him. There are enough people out there to benefit from the value you provide.

Remedies for anxiety

"Allāh is always looking out for you. He knows what’s best for you. You might think you’re going through an unwarranted tough patch in life but that may be a blessing in disguise for you. Good days will come. Just remember to say “Alḥamdulillāh ” through the bad days too".
