Be gentle with yourself by forgiving yourself and by seeking regular forgiveness. Amending your relationship with your Lord is the most important thing you will ever do for yourself. Just live simply and let go of that which steals your happiness.

If you walk with something for too long, it becomes your reality. You need to let the dead shell of yesterday break away so you can make room for all that is new. In the end the things that matter are become very few, focus on the few.

One of the reasons you shouldn't let something weigh you down for too long is simply because death is waiting for us all, and there's not much time. Don't use the little time you have to be distracted over spilt milk. Nothing is ever that serious in this short life.

Pray your ṣalāh on time

"Having trust in the plan of Allāh سبحانه وتعالى, doesn't mean you trust when it goes in your favour only. Rather if it goes in your favour or not, completely place your trust in him. Only then we will learn complete submissiveness to him".

Hadhrat Mawlānā Yūsuf Motālā رحمه الله

An action that gives positive changes to our lives

[Shaykh-ul-Ḥadīth Mawlānā Saleem Dhorāt حفظه الله]

The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said:

‎"Never do you leave off anything for the sake of Allāh, except that Allāh will replace it for you with that which is better than it."

‎[Musnad of Imām Aḥmad]

Ibn al-Qayyim (رحمه الله) mentioned that there are 6 times in which the du’ā of an individual is accepted:

• The last 3rd of the night
• At the time of the Ādhān
• Between the Ādhān & the Iqāmah
• After the 5 daily prayers
• When the Imām climbs the Mimbar on Friday
• The final hour of Friday

— الداء والدواء

‎فقد قيلَ: العلْمُ ثلاثةُ أَشبارٍ،
It was said knowledge is three spans:

‎مَن دَخَلَ في الشبْرِ الأَوَّلِ؛ تَكَبَّرَ؛
Whosoever enters the first span will become arrogant,

‎وَمَنْ دَخَلَ في الشبْرِ الثاني؛ تَواضَعَ،
And whosoever enters the second span will become humble,

‎ومَن دَخَلَ في الشبْرِ الثالثِ؛ عَلِمَ أنه ما يَعْلَمُ.
And whosoever enters the third span will know that he knows nothing.

‎ابن عثيمين، شرح حلية طالب العلم [١/١٨٩]

Ibn Rajab al-Ḥanbalī رحمه الله said:

“From the greatest of voluntary acts through which Allāh’s Love is earned, is reciting and pondering upon Qur’ān.”

[مجموع الرسائل ٤/٨٧]

The virtue of god consciousness

[Shaykh Didu]

‏احياناً لا يعطيك الله كل ما كنت تعتقد انك تريده ليس لأنك لا تستحق ذلك ولكن لأنك تستحق الأفضل

Sometimes Allah doesn’t give you what you think you want, not because you don’t deserve it, but because you deserve better

Part of being human means experiencing a range of emotions; even the so-called "negative" ones. It's simply not realistic to always be positive and happy.

We all go through tough times. It's important that we acknowledge our feelings and allow ourselves to experience them fully.

‏حتى وإن بدَت السماءُ بعيدةً

Though the sky seem far away

إن الذي فوق السماء قريبُ

He who is above the sky is much closer

فارفع يديكَ إلى الإله مُناجيًا

Raise your hands to Allāh in a manner

إن الجروح مع الدعاءِ تطيبُ

Verily all wounds with Duʿāʾs are healed

O Allāh, I ask You for Your Pleasure and for Your Forgiveness, for You are The Most Forgiving, The Most Merciful

What life has taught me:

Nothing comes without effort and time. Sincerely wanting something requires sacrifices.

Good and bad times will come and go, but it's the character you evolve into which will define the nature of the hardships you once faced.

Don't settle for anything which causes you pain. If something is toxic, let it go with a clear heart. You will get an abundance of goodness in return.

You alone reap the sorrows of your own doings. Life teaches you lessons. Learn from them and make yourself immune from falling in the same hole twice. It's just not worth it!

And last but certainly not least, one day you will thank your future self for the decisions you make today. Make sure they are good and worthwhile!

ﺍﻹﺧﻼﺹ ﺃﻥ ﻻ ﺗﻄﻠﺐ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻋﻤﻠﻚ ﺷﺎﻫﺪﺍ ﻏﻴﺮ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻭﻻ ﻣﺠﺎﺯﻳﺎ ﺳﻮﺍﻩ

"Al-Ikhlāṣ is that you do not seek for your deeds to be witnessed except by Allāh, and neither to seek repayment for them by other than Him."

[ﻣﺪﺍﺭﺝ ﺍﻟﺴﺎﻟﻜﻴﻦ (٢ /٢٩)]

Surround yourself with positivity, embrace your strengths, and let go of anything that dims your light.

Mishary Rashid Alafasy

Advice from Mu’adh Ibn Jabal رضي الله عنه :

My dear son: When you pray, pray as if it is your last prayer, and don’t expect that you will be able to return to it again.

And know my son, that a man dies between two good deeds: A good deed that he has put forward, and a good deed that he has delayed.
