Return back to the Qur'an.

‏﴿وقال الرسول يا رب إن قومي اتخذوا هذا القرآن مهجورا﴾ [الفرقان]
"And the Messenger said, 'O my Lord, indeed, my people have abandoned this Qur'an."
[Al-Furqan]


‏احذر أن تكون ممن اشتكى منه النبي ﷺ لربه
Beware of being among those whom the Prophet ﷺ complained about to his Lord."

"And indeed, the Book of Allah is the most trustworthy intercessor,
And the most enriching, a generous giver and benefactor.
And the best companion whose speech never tires,
And its repetition increases in its charm.
And when a person is in fear in his darkness,
He encounters from the grave a radiant light.
There, he will find comfort and a garden,
And because of it, he will be exalted at the summit of glory.
He calls for his beloved to please him,
And it is indeed fitting that his request is fulfilled, connected to him.
So, O reader, hold fast to it,
Revering/respecting it in every circumstance and honoring it.
May your parents be blessed with it,
Dressed in the light of crowns and adornments.
What do you think of the child when he is rewarded?
Those are the people of Allah and the best of the assembly.
Those of righteousness, kindness, patience, and piety,
Their beauty is described in the Qur'an in detail."

- Imaam Shatibi

The greatest affliction that has a high ability to destroy the ambitions and hopes of anyone in the world is procrastination. If you gather a hundred people and ask them why they haven't achieved many of the things they wished to accomplish, you will find that more than ninety of them will answer: "Because I kept postponing starting to achieve them." Even those who actually began, you will find they stopped, and then delayed trying again. So you will find procrastination in all situations. The same thing can be found in the Quran!

Although Allah says in the Quran says:
“And when you have decided, then rely upon Allah. Indeed, Allah loves those who rely [upon Him].”
[Al-Imran: 159]

meaning if you have the intention to do something, proceed with it, relying on Allah!

Many of us delay beginning the step of memorizing the Quran for reasons that are mostly, if not entirely, like the web of a spider!

- كتاب الحِفاظ على الحُفَّاظ

والله تعالى يُحِبُّ من عباده أن يعامِلُوه سرا بينهم وبينه،
"By Allah, the Almighty loves that His servants deal with Him privately, between them and Him.

وأهل محبته يحبون أن يُعاملوه سرا بينهم وبينه، بحيث لا يطلع على معاملتهم إياه سواه،
The people of His love also love to deal with Him privately, in such a way that no one else knows about their dealings/matters with Him.

حتى كان بعضهم يود لو تمكن من عبادة لا تشعر بها الملائكة الحفظة .
Some of them even wished that they could perform an act of worship that the guardian angels would not be aware of.

وقال بعضهم لما أطلع على بعض سرائره : إنما كانت تطيب الحياة لما كانت المعاملة بيني وبينه سرا، ثم دعا لنفسه بالموت فمات.
One of them, when some of his secrets were revealed, said: 'Life was sweet as long as the dealings/matters between me and Him were private.' Then he prayed for death and passed away.

المحبون يغارون من اطلاع الأغيار على الأسرار التي بينهم وبين من يحبهم ويحبونه.
The lovers are jealous of others knowing the secrets between them, the one they love and who loves them."

نصيحة من قلب مشفق .
A piece of advice from a compassionate heart:

لا تنتظر أن يبدأ رمضان لتجاهد في العبادة، لا بد أن تتدرج من الآن القلب يحتاج وقت ليتفرغ ويلين، والعقل يحتاج وقت ليصفى .
Don’t wait for Ramadan to start striving in worship. You need to gradually prepare from now. The heart needs time to focus and soften, and the mind needs time to clear.

ستخسر رمضان لو بدأت ۱ رمضان !
You will lose Ramadan if you wait until the 1st of Ramadan!

لذلك عود نفسك من الآن، ضم اثنين وخميس، قم الليل ولو بركعة اقرأ صفحات من القرآن، تصدق على مسكين، أكثر من ذكر الله ....
Therefore, train yourself from now—fast on Mondays and Thursdays, pray at night even if it's just one unit of prayer, read pages from the Quran, give charity to the needy, and increase your remembrance of Allah...

وقبل كل شي تخفف من دنياك
ليدخل رمضان وأنت مستعد بإذن الله .
And before everything, lighten the burdens of this world, so that when Ramadan arrives, you are prepared, with Allah’s permission.

and from his grace upon the believers is that nothing is ordained for them from the good or hardship except that there is good in it for them, when they are touched with ease, they are greatful and their reward are the rewards of the greatful, and when they are touched with hardship, and they are patient upon it, their rewards are the rewards of the patient and Allah سبحانه وتعلى says in surah az zumar

"Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account [i.e., limit]."

وإن غِبت فالدُّعاء وصيّة بيننَا.🍃🕊

"And if I am absent, Du'a is a vow between us."

« اعرف قدر لطفه بك، وحفظه لك، إنما نهاك عن المعاصي حماية لك وصيانة لا بخلاً منه عليك، وإنما أمرك بالطاعة رحمة وإحسانًا لا حاجة منه إليك »

"Recognize the value of His kindness towards you and His protection over you. He only prohibited you from sins as means of safeguarding and preserving you, not out of stinginess towards you. He only commanded you to obey Him as an act of mercy and benevolence, not because He has any need of you."

ابن القيم | بدائع الفوائد الفوائد (٢٣١/٣)

اللهم رمضان، وبُيوتك، والتراويح، والتهجّد، والقبول وحسن الختام والجنة يا رحمن!

"إنَّ خير الصاحب ما تهبُ عمرك له هو القرآن."
"The best companion you can dedicate your life to is the Quran."

قال امام الحسن البصري رَحمَهُ اللهُ: «إِنَّ الرَّجلَ إذا طلب القرآن والعلم اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لم يلبث أن يُرى ذلك في خُشُوعِهِ ، وزهده، وحلمه، وتواضعه.

Imam Hasan al-Basri, may Allah have mercy on him, said: "When a person seeks the Quran and the knowledge of Allah, the Almighty, it won't be long before this is reflected in their humility, self descipline, forbearance, and modesty."

«آداب الحسن البصري ومواعظه» (ص ٩٤)

فإن قال قائل: فإذا كانت لي همة، ولم أرزق ما أطلب، فما الحيلة؟
"If someone says: 'If I have ambition, yet I have not received/been granted what I seek, what should I do?'

فالجواب: أنه إذا امتنع الرزق من نوع، لم يمتنع من نوع آخر، ثم من البعيد أن يرزقك همة، ولا يعينك
The answer is: If provision is withheld from one type/way, it will not be withheld from another. It is unlikely that He granted you ambition and does not assist you.

فانظر في حالك: فلعله أعطاك شيئًا ما شكرته، أو ابتلاك بشيء من الهوى ما صبرت عنه.
So examine your situation: perhaps He gave you something that you did not appreciate, or He tested you with a desire that you did not endure( could not have patience).

واعلم أنه ربما زوى عنك من لذات الدنيا كثيرًا ليؤثرك بلذات العلم، فإنك ضعيف، ربما لا تقوى على الجمع، فهو أعلم بما يصلحك.
And know that sometimes He withholds many of the pleasures of this world from you in order to give you the pleasures of knowledge. You are weak and might not be able to handle both. He knows best what is suitable for you."

- ابن القيم صيد الخاطر

"Whoever is inspired to pray, is also prompted to receive the response."

قال عبد الله بن مسعود -رضي الله عنه-:
Abdullah ibn Masood said ( May Allah be pleased with him) :

إنَّ أكبر آية في القرآن فرجًا:
The greatest Ayah in the Qur’an that provides relief is,

{ وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًا }.
"And Whoever fears Allah, he will make a way out for him."

- تفسير ابن كثير ( 400/4)

‏﴿ قَالُوا أَتَعْجَبِينَ مِنْ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ ﴾
"They said, 'Do you wonder at the decree of Allah?'

‏رحمة الله إذا تداركت الإنسان أدهَشته!
The mercy of Allah when it encompasses a person, it amazes him.🤍
