Ibn Rajab رحمه الله said

"The person who fears Allah isn’t the one who sheds tears and cries; but rather the person who truly fears Allah is the one who abandons what he desires of the harām when he has the ability to do it."

[Rasaa’il ibn Rajab | 1/163]

Shaykh ‘Abd’l-‘Aziz B. Baz رحمه الله said, “If you want to listen to the Qur’an like it was revealed then listen carefully to al-Minshawi. It is a voice that one will never get bored from, like a flowing spring of pure water that continuously quenches the thirsty one.”

“A person has not been true to Allāh, the mighty and sublime, if he loves recognition (fame).”

— Ibrāhīm b. Adham RA

‏اللهم اجعل لنا في كل خطوة توفيقاً ويسراً

Oh Allāh ﷻ make for us in every step success and ease

Life will shock you when you realise how quickly things can change. If Allah wants you at a certain place, at a certain time, then you're going there without delay. And if He wants you to have something at a certain time, then you'll get it without delay.

If you're feeling stuck, it's only because Allah has not yet paved the way, but rest assured, the relief will come in it's appointed time.

It's difficult to feel stuck when you can see the direction in which you wish to go. This is the time for beautiful patience.

‏أفضل العبادة الصمت
The best worship is silence

وانتظار الفرج
And waiting for relief

‏علي بن أبي طالب رضي الله عنه (البيان والتبيين 1/ 245)

You will never miss from the dunya what was written for you. Don't waste your efforts and concerns on dunya while the best of homes and highest stations of paradise pass you by. Work for that which is long lasting.

"And the hereafter is better for you than the first" 93:4

Āishah رضي الله عنها narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said:

"The best of the people in reciting (the Qurān) is the one who when he recites (the Qurān) you see that he fears Allāh (based upon knowledge)."

[As-Sahīhah #1583]

A wise elderly man once said,

ألا ليت الشباب يعود يوما
فأخبره بما فعل المشيب

“If only youth could return to me for one day, and I could complain and tell it what old age has done to me.”

Seize every great opportunity for our time in this world is short.
