"If it was good, it would have come."

"If it was good, it would have remained."

"If it was good, it would have lasted."

"If it was good, it would have been."

And the verse:

"And it may be that you dislike something while it is good for you, or that you love something while it is bad for you. And Allah knows while you do not know."
(Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:216)

"يَا رَبّ فِي القَلبِ همٌّ ليسَ يَرفَعُهُ
إلَّاكَ يَا كاشِفَ الأحزَانِ والكُـرَبِ."

رب اني لما انزلت الي من خير فقير

“my Lord, I’m in dire need of whatever good you may send to me"

﴿وَلَا تَنِیَا فِی ذِكۡرِی﴾
"and do not slacken and become weak in My Remembrance."

يا ملاذ الهاربين ويا أمان الخائفين ويا جابر المنكسرين
O refuge of the warriors and O peace of the fearful, and O healer of the broken-hearted,

عبيدك بين يديك يرجون رحمتك ويخافون عذابك
Your servants are in Your hands/ in front of you, hoping for Your mercy and fearing Your punishment.

فياربي لا تردنا خايبين ولا انا بك مترودين
So, O my Lord, do not return us disappointed, and do not drive us away.

اللهم اغفرلنا ما قدمنا وما اخرنا وما اسفرنا وما اعلنا وما انت اعلم به منا انت مقدم وانت موخر لا اله الا انت
O Allah, forgive us for what we have done in the past, and what we will do in the future, and what we have done in secret and what we have done openly, and You know best about us. You are the One who advances and the One who delays; there is no god but You.

اللهم انك عفو تحب العفو فاعف عنى😭
O Allah, You are the Pardoner, and You love to forgive, so forgive us.

اللهم اغفرلنا ذنوبنا كلها دقها وجلها صغيرنا وكبيرنا😭
O Allah, forgive all our sins, both the small and the large, the minor and the major.

يا ملاذ الهاربين ويا أمان الخائفين ويا جابر المنكسرين 😭😭😭❤️

"We are all superheroes, we have the ability to make dua for others and change their lives for the better."

أَمَّن يُجِيبُ الْمُضْطَرَّ إِذَا دَعَاهُ وَيَكْشِفُ السُّوءَ وَيَجْعَلُكُمْ خُلَفَاءَ الْأَرْضِ ۗ أَإِلَٰهٌ مَّعَ اللَّهِ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ

Is He [not best] who responds to the desperate one when he calls upon Him and removes evil and makes you inheritors of the earth? Is there a deity with Allah? Little do you remember.

يا رب😭😭😭❤️

Advice from my Grandmother:

Utilise the time you have for chores to revise your Qur’an. My grandmother listens to the suwar she has memorised whilst cooking daily. As she grows older, she ensures she uses every pocket of time she has to benefit herself. She mentioned to not see marriage and cooking and household chores as a burden, but as a blessing. If you utilise the time well, you can get a lot done. You will get the reward of your reading, as well as the reward of taking care of your family.

💘 حفظها الله
May Allaah grant her a long and healthy life, Ameen.

Hearts are like glass once broken, they cannot be repaired

والقلوب كالزجاج، إذا انكسر فإنه لا ينجبر.

"Truly hearts, when their affection has parted, are like glass: once broken, they cannot be mended."

In surah al-Talaq, Allah informs us that:

[وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَالِغُ أَمْرِهِ ۚ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدْرًا]

"And whoever places their reliance on Allah, then He will be sufficient for him. Allah certainly makes His commands a reality. Allah has set a measure for everything."

In one of his writings, the great scholar ibn al-Qayyim mentioned a beautiful point related to the arrangement of the three sentences within the above ayah when he said:

[لما ذكر كفايته للمتوكل عليه ، فربما أوهم ذلك تعجيل الكفاية وقت التوكل ، فعقبه بقوله : قد جعل الله لكل شيء قدرا ، أي وقتا لا يتعداه ، فهو يسوقه إلى وقته الذي قدّره له . فلا يستعجل المتوكل ويقول : قد توكلت ودعوت فلم أر شيئا ، ولم تحصل لي الكفاية ، فالله بالغ أمره في وقته الذي قدّره له . ـ]

When Allah mentioned that He will take care of those who place their reliance on Him, perhaps someone would incorrectly understand that to mean that Allah will take care of him as soon as he places his reliance on Him, so Allah then followed up that phrase by saying:

[ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدْرًا]

"Allah has set a measure for everything"

meaning: a time beyond which a thing will not last. So Allah will take a thing on its path until it reaches the end time that He set for it.

So the person who places his reliance on Allah should not be impatient and say, "I have placed my reliance on Allah and made du'a to Him but I haven't seen anything change and I haven't found myself being taken care of!" for Allah certainly makes His command a reality at the time that He has set for it to happen.

[I'lam al-Mawqi'een 5/10-11]

And whoever believes in Allah , he will guide his heart." (64:11)

وقال أبو عثمان الجيزي : من صح إيمانه يهد الله قلبه لاتباع السنة

Abu uthman Al ji'zi رحمه الله said : Whoever rectifies his belief, Allah will guide his heart to follow the sunnah.

.وقال ابن عباس : هو أن يجعل الله في قلبه اليقين ليعلم أن ما أصابه لم يكن ليخطئه , وأن ما أخطأه لم يكن ليصيبه

Ibn Abbas رضي الله عنه said : "Allah will guide his heart to certainty. Therefore, he will know that what reached him would not have missed him and what has missed him would not have reached him."
Subhan Allah.
~ Tafseer Al qurtubi.

الليلة ليلة (٢٧) من رمضان، وهي أرجى الليالي أن تكون ليلة القدر، كما كان يُقسِم الصحابي الجليل أُبيّ بن كعب أنها هي ولا يستثني.
Tonight is the 27th night of Ramadan, and it is the most hopeful night to be Laylat al-Qadr, as the noble companion Ubayy ibn Ka'b used to swear that it is this night and he did not exclude any other night.

سلوا الله فيها حاجاتكم، فالأبواب مفتوحة، والرحمة نازلة، والأعمال مضاعفة. أحيوا ليلها بالقيام والقرآن والدعاء، فإنها فرصة لا تُعوَّض.
Ask Allah for your needs in it, for the doors of mercy are open, the blessings are descending, and the deeds are multiplied. Revive the night with prayer, recitation of the Qur'an, and supplication, for it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

ولا تنسوا العبد الفقير من دعائكم، فلعل دعوة تخرج من قلب صادق تُفتح لها أبواب السماء.
Do not forget this needy servant in your prayers, for perhaps a supplication from a sincere heart will open the doors of heaven.

"اللهم اجعلنا من عتقائك في هذه الليلة، واكتب لنا فيها القبول والغفران"

"O Allah, make us among those freed from the fire in this night, and write for us acceptance and forgiveness."

"اللهم إنك عفو تحب العفو فاعفُ عنا"

"O Allah, You are the Pardoner, and You love to pardon, so pardon us."

إن لم تكن ليلة وتريه، فهي ليلة تُعتق فيها الرقاب فاحسنوا

If it's not an odd night, then it is still a night in which necks are freed( From the fire). So Work towards it.
