"Do not forget you're in this Dunya for your Akhirah ( to make your Akhirah better)."

"Be steadfast with the Quran
Until you are elevated,
In Paradise with the Mighty Sovereign."

جوع القلوب أعظم من جوع البطون، فالقلب إذا جاع وفقد ما يتغذى به ممَّا ينفعه؛ اعترته الآفات وضعف، فوردت عليه المهلكات وأنهكته؛ لعجزه عن دفعها، وصار مجمعَ قاذورات، تتلاطم فيه شرور الشُّبهات والشَّهوات، فتفقدوا قلوبكم، واملؤها بمعرفة الله وتعظيمه وإجلاله.

"The hunger of the heart is greater than the hunger of the stomach. When the heart is starved and deprived of what nourishes it, it becomes vulnerable to afflictions and weakens, leading to destructive influences that overwhelm it. It turns into a reservoir of impurities, where the evils of doubts and desires collide. Therefore, take care of your hearts and fill them with the knowledge of Allah, His majesty, and reverence."

- الشيخ صالح العصيمي

«إذا ألقى الزمانُ عليكَ شرًّا
وصارَ العيشُ في دُنياكَ مُرًّا
فلا تجزَع لحـالِـكَ بل تـذكَّـر:
كم أمضيتَ في الخيراتِ عُمرًا
وإن ضاقَت عليكَ الأرضُ يومًا
وبِتَّ تأنُّ من دُنياكَ قهرًا
فربُّ الكونِ ما أبكاكَ إلَّا
لِتعلَمَ أنَّ بعدَ العُسرِ يُسرَا».

Ibn al qayyim rahimullah said:
"The keys to the life of the heart lie in:

• Reflecting upon the Qur’an
• Being humble before Allah in secret
• Leaving sins."

[Hadi al Arwah ila Bilād al Afrah 1/45

من عقوبات الذُّنوب نسيان القرآن

من عقوبات الذُّنوب حرمان فهم القرآن
Among the punishments for sins is being deprived of understanding the Quran.

من عقوبات الذُّنوب حرمان تدبُّر القرآن
Among the punishments for sins is being deprived of contemplating the Quran.

- قال بعض السَّلف:
أذنبت ذنبًا فحرمت فهم القرآن!
- Some of the Salaf said:
'I committed a sin and was deprived of understanding the Quran!'"

جمال الوجه موروث الخصال فلا تفخر بإرثك في الجمال....
The beauty of the face is an inherited trait...So do not take pride in your inherited beauty...

سیبقی حسن صنعك حين تفنى ويدفن حسن وجهك في الرمال
The goodness of your actions will remain when you fade away, And your face is buried in the sands.

‏من أسرار قيام الليل أنه يعلمك الإنكسار بين يدي الله، وأنه من أعظم أسباب الثبات

"One of the secrets of night prayers is that it teaches you humility before Allah, and it is one of the greatest ways for attaining steadfastness."

كان سعيد بن المسيب إذا جاء الليل قال لنفسه: قومي يا مأوى كل شر.. ثم يصلي قيام الليل

"When night arrived, Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab would say to himself, 'Rise, O home of all evil,' and then he would pray the night prayer."

« الدنيا وضعت للبلاء فينبغي للعاقل أن يوطِّنَ نفسه على الصّبر »
"The world was created for trials, so the wise person should train themselves to be patient."

ابن الجوزي | صيد الخاطر (٣٩٣/١)

It is binding upon every Muslim to learn the Arabic language to the best of his capabilities, so he can bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah and Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, and he can recite the book of Allah, say the different adhkaar that have been made obligatory upon him from the takbeer, the tasbeeh, the tasha’hud, and other forms of adhkaar.

احسن الظن بالله

"The phrase «Perhaps it is for the best» embodies both having good expectations of Allah and the comfort of submiting.
Imagine living in regret over something that you missed out on, but remember that everything that happens to a believer is for their good. Don't burden yourself with excessive thoughts about what has passed.

The treasures of Allah never run out (are infinite) and what is best is not limited to what you've missed.

Greater, more beautiful, and more perfect things may come your way if you keep good thoughts of Allah."

أتغلبك الدنيا وأنت الذي تحمل الآيات في صدرك؟!"

"Are you allowing the world to overcome you while you carry the verses (of Qur'an) within your heart?!"

« عَسَىٰ رَبُّكُمۡ أَن يَرۡحَمَكُمۡۚ وَإِنۡ عُدتُّمۡ عُدۡنَاۘ وَجَعَلۡنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ حَصِيرًا »
"Perhaps your Lord will have mercy on you, but if you return (to your sins), We will return (to Our punishment). And We have made Hell a prison for the disbelievers." (17:08)

كم من محنةٍ خرج من رحمها مِنحة، فمَن اعتبر بالبلاء واتَّعظ، فتابَ وأناب، كان البلاءُ له رحمةً وخيرًا.

"How many trials have brought about a blessing? Whoever learns from the trial and is admonished, then repents and returns to Allah, the trial will be a mercy and goodness for him."

الإفساد طريقُ العقوبات، فمن عاد إلى إفساده عاد اللهُ إلى عقوبته، فهل من معتبر؟

"Corruption leads to punishment. Whoever returns to their corruption, Allah will return to punishing them. Is there anyone who takes heed?"

ليس عذابُ الدنيا خاتمةَ المطاف للمفسدين غيرِ التائبين، فهنالك نارٌ تنتظرهم فتحصُرهم، فلا يُفلِت منها أحد.

"The punishment of this world is not the final outcome for the unrepentant corruptors, there is a fire awaiting them that will surround them, and no one will escape from it."

"The supplications of Muslims for their oppressed brothers: it is a realization of Islamic brotherhood and a confirmation of the bonds of faith by recalling their suffering and seeking their victory.

Among the concise prayers reported from the Prophet is his saying:
اللهم انج المستضعفين من المومنين
'O Allah, save the oppressed among the believers.'

So include this in your prayers for them and strive to pray during the times when they are answered."
