There is no greater regret!

May Allāh ﷻ save us from such regret.

آمين يا رب العالمين

[Shaykh Saʿīd Al-Kamalī]

Shaykh Ṣāliḥ Ibn Uthaymīn رَحِمَهُ ٱللَّٰهُ said:

"Always keep in mind the fact that Allāh ﷻ wants you to be happy all the time, far from grief".

[Sharḥ Bulūgh al Maram 3/532-533]

Striving against the soul

[Shaykh Khālid Ismāʿīl]

Love yourself enough to set boundaries

It’s never easy, but remember: you are not obligated to be with anyone who negatively impacts your well-being because you matter...and so does your mental health!

مَن حَمَل النَّاس على المحامل الطيِّبة
‎The person who treats others kindly

وأحسن الظَّنَّ بهم
and thinks well of them,

سلمت نيَّته
will find that his intention will remain true,

وانشرح صدره
he will feel at ease,

وعوفي قلبه
his heart will be sound

وحفظه الله مِن السُّوء والمكاره
and Allāh will protect him from evil and calamity.

‏[ابن القيّم الجوزيّةِ | مدارج السَّالكين (٥١١/٢)]

(huraayrah)

Don't worry about your future!

﴿وَفِي السَّمَاءِ رِزْقُكُمْ﴾
“and in the heaven is your provision,

﴿وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ﴾
and that which you are promised.”

رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ

Assalāmu ʿalaykum wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuh

Build meaningful connections by presenting your true self to others. Be genuine with everyone, even if some of them may not be. A real smile, a real conversation, real warmth ~ always.

The right people will stay and take shade in your love. Some people are not meant to be part of your journey for ever, and that is ok. And some others will always be there, and perhaps in jannah they'll be there too. Forever by your side, in every life, in every chapter, in any case. Those are honestly your people.

It is human nature to cling to things - even those that we know aren't good for us. Letting go takes time and practice to get good at.

Here are a few suggestions to help you to make peace with what is, and move on with life in ways that make you happier.

We are neither meant to be in the past nor the future.

Life is only available to us in the here and now, and by being intentional about being more mindful during everyday life, we can live with greater purpose and more happiness.

One of al-ḥukamāʾ (ie: wise people) said:

The intellect is a neglected friend,
while desires are a cherished enemy.

[al-Māwardī, Adab al-Dunyā wa ʾl-Dīn 1/29]

Every one of us, no matter who you are, should develop a secret deed of goodness between you and Allāh ﷻ.

Think of this very carefully; your secret deed between you and Allāh, no one knows it. Maybe every day you give a small charity to someone, maybe you say a good word, you might have read some Qur'ān on a daily basis… Some secret private deed between you and Allāh that you are so happy about, and that you continue doing against all odds and you say: “Allāh this is only for your sake.”

Try and develop it. It’s something that will really help you spiritually and it will benefit you immensely and intensely.

Ibn Qayyim رحمه الله on giving ṣadaqah:

Indeed ṣadaqah has a great effect in repelling different types of trials and tribulations,

Even if the charity was given by a fājir (ie: an evil) or dhalim (ie: an oppressive person), rather even (if it was given) by a kāfir (ie: non-Muslim)!

Indeed Allāh, repels different types of trials and tribulations due to giving ṣadaqah.

This is a matter which is well-known to the scholars and the general folk,

And the people on the earth can relate to it as they have experienced it.

[ابن القيم، الوابل الصيب من الكلم الطيب ١/٣١]
