Adhere to the truth and do not adorn yourselves for the sake of people.
Those who are sincere (khalis) in working for Allah are few. People love to show-off the deeds they perform.
Sufyan al-Thawri used to say, ‘I do not count actions that I do openly.’
The early generation of Muslims used to conceal their actions, but nowadays people’s clothes (i.e. outward appearance) expose them.
Ayub al-Sakhtiyani used to make his garments longer to the point of touching his feet, and he used to say, ‘In the past, people used to seek fame by lengthening their garments, but nowadays they seek fame by shortening them.’
[Shorting them is the Sunnah, but with sincerity].

إذا سألت الله فإنك رابح في كل حال لأنه
إما أن يعطيك سبحانه وتعالى ما تسأل أو يصرف عنك من السوء ما هو أعظم
أو يدخر ذلك لك يوم القيامة أجرا
فمن دعا الله تعالى فإنه لا يخيب فأكثر من دعاء الله عز وجل وأكثر من الاستغفار والتوبة إليه.
"If you ask from Allāh, then you'll prosper and win in all cases, for it could be that He grants you what you seek; or He will avert a greater evil from you, or He will save it for you on the Day of Qiyāmah as a (heavier) reward... Therefore, multiply your du'ā to Him.
Whoever supplicates to Allah Almighty will not be disappointed, so supplicate to Allah Almighty and seek forgiveness and repent to Him."

من أعظم علامات التوفيق هي تيسير الطاعة على العبد
One of the greatest signs of success of the servant is his ease in the lord's obedience,
ومن أعظم التوفيق والتيسير هو قيامه في جوف الليل
and among the greatest success and facilitation is his standing up in the middle of the night,
ولو بركعة واحدة - يخلو بها ويتلذذ في مناجاة ربه
even with a single rak'ah, to be alone with it and take pleasure in communicating with his Lord.
قال ابن رجب :
ليس بعاقل من له حاجة عند ربه ونام وقت السحر!".
Ibn Rajab said:
"He who has a need from his Lord and sleeps at dawn is not sane!"
- تعلم أن تطلب حوائجك في قيام الليل
Learn to ask for your needs during the night prayer!

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:
“No slave of Allah commits a sin except that a blessing from Allah is removed from him equal to that sin.
If he repents, that blessing will return to him along with other blessings,
and if he persists upon the sin, the blessing will not return to him.
Sins continue to remove blessing after blessing, until all the blessings are gone.”

Someone was asked: "How do you get to maintain and preserve your daily prayers?" He replied:
أيقنتُ أن لا أحد يقبلُ لقائي خمس مراتٍ في اليوم بجميع حالاتي: سعيدًا، حزينًا، مكسورًا، ضعيفًا، قويًا سوى أرحم الراحمين
"With real confidence that no one would accept to meet me five times a day in all my situations: joyous, sad, broken, weak, strong - except for the Most Merciful."

Now is the time. In the past, preachers would capture their audience with words like:
أصبحتم في أمنيةِ ناس كثير
"For countless people, you are but a wish."
Meaning, those in their graves would wish they could return to dunya to seek tawbah and make istighfār, and strive in Allāh's obedience, yet have no way to do so.

أوَليس من يعطي
Is not the one who grants
ويمنعُ رحمةً
and withholds mercy
لو لم يكُن شرًا..
If it wasn't evil
أكان ليمنعك؟
Would he have prevented you?
أوَما رعاك إذ المراكب أُغرقت
And didnt he take care of you when the boats got sunk
والحبلُ مُدَّ اذ التجنّي أوقعك؟
And the ropes were extended When you were about to fall?
أولم تجفف كل ما عانيتَهُ!
Didn't he dry up all that you suffered?
وظننتَ أنك لن تعود فأرجعك؟
And you thought you won't ever return, but you returned.
الآن تأسى إذْ وقعتَ مجددًا!
Right now you're sad when it has repeated
والله يحنو بالسقوط ليرفعك»
Allah shows compassion when you fall to lift you up.

﴿وَكَيفَ تَصبِرُ عَلى ما لَم تُحِط بِهِ خُبرًا﴾
"And how can you be patient over what you have no knowledge of?"
ليس سهلاً أن تصبر وأنت ترى الأمور تحدث بطريقة غير مفهومة، لذلك كانت منزلة الصابرين عظيمة، لو فقدت ما فقدت ، لو كسَّر الحرمان أضلاعك، ستجتاز هذه المصاعب يومًا ما، فاختر الرضا يهن عليك العبور.
It is not easy to be patient while you see things happening in an incomprehensible way, so the status of those who are patient is great. If you lose what you lost, if deprivation breaks your ribs, you will pass these hardships one day, so choose contentment, and your passage will be easy.
