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.

Mawlānā Haaris Abdus Samad

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".

How do you know your sin has been forgiven?

[Muftī Wasīm Khān]

Allāh ﷻ tells us in the Qur’ān 6:54 “When those who believe in Our verses come to you, say to them, “Peace on you. Your Lord has prescribed for Himself mercy, so that if any one of you does an evil deed out of ignorance and thereafter repents and mends his ways, then (you will see that) He is Most-Forgiving, Very-Merciful.”

If Allāh ﷻ allowed us to seek his forgiven that means he wants to forgive us. Once we repent and dont indulge in that sin anymore, this is a sign from Allāh ﷻ that he has forgiven us.

May Allāh ﷻ accept our prayers and forgive all of our sins. Āmīn ya rab

[Israfoundation]

Your nafs and desires are the biggest enemies in your life. The one who learns how to control it, will be saved from corruption and the one who is overpowered by it will be consumed by this world in a way that will destroy them completely. If the nafs can be tamed, you are considered to be the most courageous of warriors in the sight of Allāh ﷻ. For the greatest Jihad in the sight of Allāh ﷻ is the struggle one has in controlling their desires.

Waki’ reported: Sufyan ath-Thawrī رحمه الله said, “I never dealt with anything more difficult on me than my own self. Sometimes it would be against me, and sometimes it would be for me.”

(H‌ilyat al-Awliya‌)

May Allāh ﷻ save us from the destruction of our own desires. Amīn Yā Rab.

[aminabinteharith]

اللهم يا رحمن يا رحيم ياذا المن والإكرام
O Allāh, O Most Beneficent, O Most Merciful, O Bestower of grace and honor

بلغنا برحمتك رمضان
let us reach Ramaḍān by Your mercy,

شهر الخير والقرآن
the month of goodness and the Qur'ān,

وأعنا فيه على الصيام والقيام
and help us in it to fasting and standing in prayer,

وحسن العبادة فيه فمنك التوفيق والإعانة والسداد
and worship well in it, for from You is success, aid and repayment

وإليك يُرجع الأمر كله علانيته وسره
and to You the whole matter returns, openly and secretly

[huraayrah]

When passing by graves, it is as though the inhabitants are saying: “We were also just like you, walking casually in between graves & busy with issues of life. Soon you will just be like us, buried underground in nothing but a basic shroud.”

كما أنتم كذا كنا، كما نحن تكونونا

[Muftī Muḥammad Ibn Ādam]

﷽

The action that has no sincerity in it!

"Remember, life is short. Use this opportunity to exert ourselves in the Ibadah of Allāh ﷻ to the best of our abilities. Ramaḍān will come and go. We need to enter Ramaḍān with the spirit of making Tawba and changing our lives."

[Muftī Ebrahim Desai رحمه الله]

If Allāh ﷻ didn't love you, He would never have let you fast the days of Ramaḍān and stand its nights. He only gifted you this because He wanted to forgive you.

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.

في رمضان جاهد نفسك قدر استطاعتك
This Ramaḍān, strive against yourself as much as you can

واغسل قلبك قبل جسدك
And wash your heart before your body

ولسانك قبل يديك
And your tongue before your hands

وافسد كل محاولاتهم لإفساد صيامك
And destroy attempts to ruin your fast

واحذر أن تكون من أولئك الذين لا ينالهم من صيامهم سوى العطش والجوع
And be careful not to be from those who do not attain from their fasting other than thirst and hunger.
