Assalāmu ʿalaykum wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuh,

This is a reminder page for myself to look back on. If you benefit from it, Alḥamdulillāh. If not, please remember me in your du'ā's.

‏لسنا سوى عابرين سبيل في هذه الحياة
سنمضي يوما تاركين خلفنا كل شيء للأحياء

'We are only travellers in this life,
soon we'll pass, leaving everything behind us for the living'
Sh.Islam b.Taymiyyah writes:

“It is not from the conditions of being pious that you don’t commit sins. If that was the case, then there would be no pious people in the world! In fact, he who repents and follows his sins up with good deed, is from the Muttaqīn”

How to remain consistent on a good habit

1. Stop expecting overnight change.

Habits are not developed overnight, it's takes weeks to get out of old or bad habits and change them for better ones.

2. Getting back to it after a failure.

When on the road to developing new habits, you WILL FAIL atleast once or twice and people like me 100x before getting it right.

What is important when trying to gain Good habits are to keep dusting yourself off after failure and trying again.

You'll get it. May not after the first it second try. But you'll get it.
3. Stay on schedule.

Not everyday will be the same.
Some days you'll run late, you'll oversleep, you'll have to deal with mental and physical health.

Even in these times. Stick to your habits even if less in amount.

If you usually read 1 juz, read a half, read a quarter.

But don't skip your daily duty

4. Stop expecting perfection

When we expect perfection, anything less we deem failure.

This is inaccurate. It won't be perfect. It'll never be. There's always be room for improvement.

So waiting for perfection, means you'll simply never develop that good habit.

Because perfection is simply not anyone's reality.

5. Consistency and patience

Shaykh Saeed on Knowledge and its loftiness. He also briefly touches upon the linguistic meaning the word ‘kanz’ (الكنز).

ft. Shaykh Saeed al-Kamali
الاشتغال بما يفيد

‏ Busy yourself with what benefits ‏

فأنفع الدواء أن تشغل بالفكر فيما يعنيك دون ما لا يعنيك

The most beneficial cure is to busy yourself with thinking about what concerns you without that which does not concern you

فالفكر فيما لا يعني باب كل شر

For thinking about what does not concern you is the door to every evil

ومن فكّر فيما لا يعنيه فاته ما يعنيه

And whoever thinks about what does not concern him, he misses what does concern him

واشتغل عن أنفع الأشياء له بما لا منفعة له فيه

And he had busied himself over what is most beneficial for him that which has not benefit for him

[ابن القيم رحمه الله، ‏الفوائد: 255]
May Allah سبحانه وتعالى keep us sincere in our actions and allow us to do that which pleases Him and keep us steadfast.

آمين يا رب العالمين
You have nothing to prove to anyone besides yourself. Everyday be a better version of yourself. Challenge yourself to be a better Muslim in every way. Islam teaches us to reach excellence. (احسان)

Your sins impact your ʿIbādah.

Abu Qatadah رضي الله عنه reported: The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said,

“Verily, you will never leave anything for the sake of Allah Almighty but that Allāh ﷻ will replace it with something better.”

[Musnad Aḥmad 22565]
Sincerity —

The Faqih said:

« It was narrated to us, that The Prophet ﷺ said: “The thing that I fear most for you is minor shirk.”

They said: “O Messenger of Allaah, what is minor shirk?”

He said: “Showing off, for Allah will say on the Day when people are recompensed for their actions:

‘Go to those for whom you were showing off with your deeds in the world, and see what reward you find with them.’ »

The Faqih said: “This will he said to them because the deeds they performed in the Dunya was for the sake of deceiving [others], so in The Day of Judgement they will be treated based upon that.

Allah تعالى said: { Surely the hypocrites seek to deceive Allah, but He outwits them. } ... meaning he’ll reward them accordingly for their attempt at deceiving others.

So their actions will be rendered useless and will not be rewarded.
And it will be said to them: “Go to those for whom you were showing off with your deeds” ... because their deeds hold no worth in Allah’s eyes as they were not doing it sincerely for His sake.

The slave will only be rewarded if their action is solely for the sake of Allah ﷻ, because if it was for other than his sake [showing off to others] it falls under minor shirk, and Allah is free from the one who does such an act. »

[Taken from Tanbih al-Ghafilin]
Always take one day at a time. Repent. Go for walks. Enjoy the present and mostly, focus and build your Ākhirah

If the Dunya was the true abode then the Prophets would have had the most luxurious and opulent of lives.

Shaykh Abdul Aziz al-Turayfi

Accept the Qadr of Allāh. Know what hit was never meant to miss and what missed was always meant to be that way. To understand this is by far the most difficult thing one can learn to do, but once it's done, that's when one is able to taste the true sweetness of īmān.

Look inside yourself, you are more than what you've become.

Be grateful to your Lord for the good and even more when things don't go the way we want it to. He knows that which we don't. Allāh never burdens a soul with more than it can bear. What missed us will be replaced with something better. We pray for the love of Allāh while His love for us has always been there, who moved? Who else is there to pray to? Who else can guide us?

The pain you feel today is the reason why you've finally turned to Him. See this as a blessing and know it's all for a better you! Listen to your past. Don't live life blind. This path you tread was never made for the weak, you're almost there, bear patience and prepare to reap the reward of all that you've been through.

Grey skies don't last forever. Know that this too shall pass. There's a reason behind all this struggle, there's a reason why we fall, all for us to turn to Him, Him alone and there's nothing to do except rebuild, there's nowhere to go except up.

Do not lose hope; nor be sad. Allāh hears your duʿās. Be patient and trust Him to open the right door for you at the right time.

Be patient, for what's written for you is written by the Greatest of writers.
