Life is a garden and trials are rain drops. At first it feels gloomy but it's worth it when the flowers bloom.

What does the word Heart mean in the Arabic language?

Shaykh Hamza Yusuf

End of the day: ʿilm does not come cheap & you'll be tested when trying to acquire it. The reason why we are patient, overlook, and continue with the struggle of ṭalab - even at the feet of those who we may not find perfect - is because we value the ʿilm more than anything else.

If you see somebody falling behind, walk beside them.

If you see somebody is being ignored, find a way to include them.

If you see somebody has been knocked done, lift them up.

Always remind people of their worth.

One small act of kindness could mean the world to someone!

Studying requires sacrifice. Those scholars who we consider to be successful are where they are because of the sacrifices they have made. It requires spending money, giving up sleep, not going out as much and most importantly making your books your companions

Get serious — about your peace.
Get serious — about your future.
Get serious — about your goals.
Get serious — about your love.
Get serious — about your faith.
Get serious — about your mental.
Get serious — about your life.
Get serious — about your soul

Simplicity in life is the key to contentment. Let what is arriving to arrive, and let that which departs to depart. Do not interrupt the flow of life. It's Qadr, and you'll be Okay.

Don't consume yourself with what has gone wrong and why it has gone wrong. It is dunya. It will never be perfect. Complete perfection lives beyond the gates of paradise, Ask your Lord each day to make you from those who enter.

The important concept of Tawfīq (divine bestowal of ability to perform an action)

[Shaykh Sa'īd Al Kamali حفظه الله]

When Allāh ﷻ chooses something for you, choose it for yourself also, wholeheartedly.

Many people cannot see the beauty of life because they doubt what their Lord has chosen for them, and so they miss out on the sweetness of Tawakkul and Submission.

Complete submission has a sweetness like no other. After all, it is what the heart has been created to do.

اللهم اهدنا لأحسن الأخلاق،
O Allāh ﷻ, guide us to the best of manners

لا يهدي لأحسنها إلا أنت،
For none can guide to the best of them but You

واصرف عنا سيِّئَها،
And protect us from bad manners

لا يصرف عنا سيِّئها إلا أنت
For none can protect against them but You

How beautiful to remain a mystery in a world full of people who have nothing left to hide

My heart is at ease knowing that whatever was meant for me, will never miss me and whatever misses me was never meant for me.

Private life is a Happy Life :)

Your trials have a purpose. Nothing happens randomly. Allāh has chosen them for you to learn valuable lessons. Use the opportunity to develop and grow. Don't curse the problem. Embrace them. They will help you to move on the next level of your development.

If someone is written for you - they will never be for anyone else. No matter how impossible it may seem right now - Allāh ﷻ can open doors for you that you never even imagined were there.

Keep in the obedience of Allāh ﷻ and have sabr.

In this life you will meet the best of your days and the worst of your days. And in the end it will all feel like a day or part of a day. Sit with that for a moment. Realise that you are living these days, not to own them forever but to use them to build everlasting days

I swear you are going to die one morning, or perhaps one afternoon or an evening. And life as you know it will end. So beautify these temporary days with the deeds that please your Lord. In the hopes that He will beautify your everlasting life due to those same deeds.

Never overcomplicate life. This is all you're here for. slowly but surely you will slip away from this life, and you will wish to have good, sincere, beautiful deeds waiting for you at the other end.
