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.

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.

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.

Careful what you attach your heart to— for that thing will encase it, so let it be an encasement of light and not something of darkness and gloom.

Why are you sad? You have Islam, you have something which makes you everything!
Imām Ibn Rajab رحمه الله stated:

"Loving Allāh is not complete except with being obedient to Him. And there's no way to be obedient to Him except by following His Messengerﷺ."

[Tafsīr Ibn Rajab 1/497]
Chasing money endlessly is a scam. Find an amount that will suit your lifestyle and live comfortably, aim for that rather an endless amount.

Loads of studies have shown that after earning a certain amount of money ($75,000 in the US), it no longer add's on to happiness
What should the Maʿrifah of Allāh ﷻ lead to?

A deep awareness and knowledge of Allah (maʿrifah) will make you shy of Allah, increase your love for Him and attach your heart to Him. You will be left in awe of Him and will always long to meet Him.

You will repeatedly turn to Him broken in repentance. You will hastily run away from the creation to enjoy seclusion with Him.

Striving to attain these qualities is a continuous effort, and not a single struggle. It is a lifelong journey that will only end when we meet Him and He is pleased with us, inshāAllah.
