We don't know which land, which heart, and which decision is good for us. But we believe that good is in what Allāh has chosen for us. ♡

‏والله ما رأينا الخير إلا من الله،
By Allah, we have not seen goodness except from Allah,

ولا رأينا الجبر إلا من الله،
nor have we seen strength except from Allah,

ولا وجدنا الراحة إلا بالقرب من الله،
nor have we found comfort except in closeness to Allah,

ولا وجدنا حسن التدبير إلا من الله فحسب!
nor have we found good planning/destiny except from Allah alone,

فلماذا نخاف ونقلق وأمورنا كُلّها وحاجاتنا ومستقبلنا بيده؟
So why do we fear and worry while all our affairs, our needs, and our future are in His hand?

ونحن نعلم أننا لن نجد ألطف ولا أحن ولا أكرم من الله!
And we know that we will not find anyone more kind, more compassionate and more generous than Allah!

Be mindful of Allah and He will protect you. Be mindful of Allah and you will find Him before you. If you ask, ask from Allah. If you seek help, seek help from Allah. Know that if the nations gathered together to benefit you, they could not benefit you unless Allah has decreed it for you. And if the nations gathered together to harm you, they could not harm you unless Allah has decreed it for you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried.

- Sunan Tirmidhi

ينبغي استدامة الدعاء وترك اليأس من الإجابة، ودوام رجائهما واستدامة الإلحاح في الدعاء، فإن الله يحب الملحِّين في الدعاء» –القرطبي

"It is necessary to make continuous supplications and abandon despair of an answer, and to have constant hope and perseverance in supplication, for Allah loves those who are persistent in supplication.”

- Al-Qurtubi

يقول بعض السلف:
"يُعرض على ابن آدم يوم القيامة ساعات عمره، فكل ساعةٍ لم يذكر الله فيها تتقطع نفسه عليها حسرات"

One of the salaf said :
"On the Day of Resurrection, the hours of his life will be presented to the son of Adam, and for every hour in which he does not remember Allah, his soul will be torn with regret."

خطيب المسجد النبوي الشيخ
د. حسين آل الشيخ في خطبة اليوم:

The khateeb of the Prophet's Mosque, Sheikh Dr Al Sheikh in today's sermon:

"كلما ازداد الإنسان معرفة بأسماء الله وصفاته = ازداد إيمانًا به، وعبوديةً، وهيبةً، وإجلالًا، وخضوعًا، وتذلُّلًا، ورغبة، وطلبًا."

"The more a person knows about Allah's names and attributes, the more he increases in his faith, servitude, awe, reverence, submission, humility, desire, and pursuit."

﴿قُل إِنّي أَخافُ إِن عَصَيتُ رَبّي عَذابَ يَومٍ عَظيمٍ﴾ [سورة الأنعام: ١٥]
Say, 'Indeed, if I disobey my Lord, I fear the punishment of a great day." [Surat Al-An'am: 15]

ألا يستحـيي العبـدُ أن يعصـيَ مَن يعتني به ويُربِّيه؟
Isn't the servant ashamed to disobey the one who cares for him and raises him?

ألم يكن حقيقًا به أن يفعلَ ما يقرِّبه منه ويُرضيه؟!
Isn't it appropriate for him to do deeds that would bring him closer to Allah and satisfy him?!

[ هدايات القرآن الكريم، ص١٢٩ ]

«فإن رضيت هان عليك مُصابك واتّسعت رحمة الله في فؤادك ورأيت من حولك يركضون متخبّطين.. وأنت تغشاك السكينة»

"And if you're content your afflictions will be easy for you And Allah's mercy will expand in your heart and you will see people around you running and struggling and you will be overcome with tranquility."

ثم ترزق بما يليق بطيب قلبك

Subsequently, you will be blessed with what suits the goodness of your heart.

"البدايات للكل، والثبات للصادقين .."
"beginning is for everyone , but steadfastness is for the truthful".

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymīn رحمه الله said:

“The best advice that can be given for healing the heart is to pay attention to the Qur’an.”

قال ابن القيّم -رحمه الله-:
Ibn al-Qayyim rahimullah said :

" مَن أَحَبَّ مَحبوبًا ؛ أحبَّ حديثَه والحديثَ عنه ، كما قيل:
"Whoever loves a beloved, loves talking to him and talking about him, as it was said:

إن كنتَ تزعُمُ حُبِّي
If you claim to love me
فَلِمْ هَجرْتَ كتابي
Why did you abandon my book?

أمَا تأمَّلْتَ ما فيــه
Have you not considered what is in it?
مِن لذيذِ خطابي؟! "
How pleasant is my speech?! "

"perhaps your lord will soon replace your grief with pleasure and delight."
