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

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

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."

(Lataa'if al-Ma'aarif, p. 220)
Ibn al-Jawzi رحمه الله said:
"When a horse is near the finish line, it exerts its last energy to win the race. Do not let the final part of Ramadan be less than its beginning, for actions are judged by their endings."
(Sayd al-Khaatir, p. 466)
Al-Hasan al-Basri رحمه الله said:
"Improve your performance in what remains, and you will be forgiven for what has passed.
Take the lesson from how Allah forgave people who repented sincerely and strove in the time remaining."
(Hilyat al-Awliya, 2/153)
Ibn Taymiyyah said رحمه الله:
"What matters is not how you started, but how you finish. If you wasted the first half of Ramadan, then compensate in the last half, especially the last ten nights, for that is where the true reward lies."
(Majmoo' al-Fataawa, 10/45)
Sufyan al-Thawri رحمه الله said:
"If you were heedless at the start of Ramadan, do not remain heedless at its end. If you did not prepare well before the battle, then fight with all your strength in the battle itself."
(Sifat al-Safwah, 2/235)
Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah رحمه الله said:

Bidding farewell to Ramadan is done by five:
- إِكمالُ عِدَّته.
1) Completing its number of days (of fasting).
- وتكبيرُ الله على هدايته.
2) Magnifying Allah with all the magnificence (takbeer: Allahu Akbar) for His guidance.
- والشُّكر لنِعمته.
3) Thanking Him for His blessings.
- ودعاؤُه وسؤالُ مغفرته.
4) Making duaa to Him and asking Him for His forgiveness.
ومن أنفع الدُّعاء: دعاء الله أن يتقبّل عملَه، ويُقرنه باستغفار الله عمّا قصر، فالاستغفار خِتَامُ الأعمال الصالحة.
And from the most beneficial of duas: Asking Allah to accept your good deeds, as well as asking Him to forgive you for your shortcomings.
- والاستعدادُ لمَا بَقِيَ مِن تَتمَّته.
5) Getting ready for what is left from its completion;
وأعلاه: ثلاثةُ أعمالٍ:
and from the best of that is three actions:
- زكاة الفطر.
1) Zakāt ul-Fitr.
- وصلاة العيد.
2) Eid prayer.
- وصيام ستَّةِ أيَّامٍ من شوَّال.
3) Fasting the six days of Shawwāl.

Ibn 'Abbaas used to say,
"It is the Muslims' duty when they sight the new moon of Shawwal to magnify Allah by making takbir until they have finished their 'eid [i.e. their 'eid prayer]. That is because Allah says:
[وَلِتُكَبِّرُوا اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَاكُمْ]
"... and to magnify Allah by making takbir for Him having guided you" [al-Baqarah ayah 185]❞
ibn Zayd said, "They should make takbir when they are going to the prayer place in the morning. Then when they arrive and sit, they should continue making takbir. Then when the imam comes they should be quiet. Then when the imam makes takbir they should make takbir, but they shouldn't make any takbir besides his takbir after he has arrived. That is how it should be until they finish the prayer, for then they have finished the 'eid [i.e. their 'eid prayer]."
