Fudayl b. ‘Ayyād رحمه الله said:

"If you can be unknown, be so; it doesn’t matter if you are not known and it doesn’t matter if you are not praised. It doesn’t matter if you are blameworthy according to people if you are praiseworthy with Allāh the Mighty and Majestic."

[Al-Bayhaqī, Al-Zuhd Al-Kabīr p100.]

The beauty of Islām and believing in the existence of Allāh is that no matter what happens, even at your most loneliest of times, Allāh is there for you as a comforter and friend and there’s nothing more tranquil and soothing to the soul than that

Imam Al-Bukhārī was distinguished with three qualities:

1 He never spoke much.

2 He never yearned for what people had.

3 He would never occupy himself with other people's affairs; all his attention was towards knowledge.

[Ad-Dhahabī | Siyar Alâm Al-Nubalā 12/449]

Take care of your thoughts when you are alone and take care of your words when you are with people.

Small circle. Private life. Content heart. Clear mind. Peaceful life.

Please do remember Me & The Ummah in your Du'ā's!

Sheikh Saleh al-Osaimi -حفظه الله- said:

If you read a book, let your concern be on the topics it contains, not on the number of pages you turn. Because knowledge is about harvesting the right fruit, not about abundance [wasteful] reading

شرح "فتح الرحيم الملك العلام" لابن سعدي

The Test Of Life

[Shaykh-ul-Hādith Mawlānā Saleem Nawab Ṣaḥib حفظه الله]

Ask Allāh ﷻ for good actions

[Shaykh Sa'īd Al Kamali حفظه الله]

From that which Allāh uses to expose the reality of people is time. Time is something that Allāh has swore by in the Qurān. Time is our life. Time is to be valued. Time is to be made the best of. Time is not to be wasted on people & things that dont benefit you. Use time wisely!

Never lose tawakkul. Your time will come. Your prayers will be answered. You'll be where you want to be. Just dont lose Allāh. Enjoy the life he gave you. Appreciate your blessings. He hears your prayers and knows your needs. Everything will come to you in due time.

Ibn Qayyim Al Jawziyya رحمه الله said:

"The person who treats others kindly and thinks well of them, will find that his intention will remain true, he will feel at ease, his heart will be sound and Allah will protect him from evil and calamity."

[Madarij al-Salikeen 2/511]

Keep moving. Keep striving. Time doesn't wait for anyone. Be close to Allāh ﷻ. Read Your Qur'ān, Adkhar. Don't stay stagnant. Do a course/teach/work but Move forwards. Never look back at your past.

No matter how difficult it is, No matter how painful life can be, Know that you're special to Allāh ﷻ, He knows what you're going through and that's enough. Find solace in him.

Alḥamdulillāh For Everything.

[Reflections For Myself]

One profound piece of knowledge that I gained over the past year is to take things one step at a time. Doing everything at once may make you a jack of all trades, but still a master of nothing. Focus on what you want to be your end goal, and set small steps towards that.

Reflection

ʿUmar (رضي الله عنه) said:

I heard Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) saying: "If you all depend on Allāh with due reliance, He would certainly give you provision as He gives it to birds who go forth hungry in the morning and return with full belly at dusk".
