أَفَلَا يَتُوبُونَ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَهُۥ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

يغفر ذنوب التائبين، ولو بلغت عنان السماء، ويرحمهم بقبول توبتهم، وتبديل سيئاتهم حسنات، وصدر دعوتهم إلى التوبة بالعرض الذي هو غاية اللطف واللين في قوله: (أفلا يتوبون إلى الله).
السعدي:٢٤٠.

when days blur into week in these dark months, and it feels like you are carrying mountains on your shoulders, remember that you have a Lord that has fashioned you and created you to worship Him and seek His aid. Remember that we cannot escape the pits and dark corners of our minds except by His help.

remember the speech of Allah when He, سبحانه وتعالى said:

‘ Allah does not burden a soul with except [with that within] its capacity’

and remember the hadith of the prophet ﷺ when he said:

‘…. Recognize and acknowledge Allah in times of ease and prosperity, and He will remember you in times of adversity. And know that what has passed you by [and you have failed to attain] was not going to befall you, and what has befallen you was not going to pass you by. And know that victory comes with patience, relief with affliction, and hardship with ease.’


remember that you have precious moments in your fingertips, waiting to be benefitted from. like today. a time to make plenty of dua, to repent, to forgive and make amends, to reach out, to start on a fresh crisp page.

have good thoughts of Allah, repent, make duā, and turn over that page.

وفقنا الله وإياكم 🤍

كان بعض السلف يسمي (الشكر): الحافظ الجالب؛ لأنه يحفظ النعم الموجودة، ويجلب النعم المفقودة. فلنشكر الله على كل حال، وفي كل حين، لنلحق بركب الشاكرين: {وقليل من عبادي الشكور}.

"...Be mindful of Allah, you will find Him before you. Get to know Allah in prosperity and He will know you in adversity. Know that what has passed you by was not going to befall you; and that what has befallen you was not going to pass you by. And know that victory comes with patience, relief with affliction, and ease with hardship."

قال عليه الصلاة والسلام:
" أقرب ما يكون العبد من ربه وهو ساجد فأكثروا الدعاء ".

- صحيح مسلم

the prophet ﷺ said:
the slave is closest to his Lord when he is prostrating, so increase in making duā
— sahih muslim

أثر الصحبة الصالحة في زمننا هذا ليس بالهيِّن، وخاصَّة في ظلِّ تغير المبادئ والقيم وانتشار الفتن، أحيانًا المرء يخشى على نفسه من تلك الصوارف ولا يجد مُعينًا له بعد الله سوى لزوم الصحبة التي تُعينه في أمر دينه، ﴿واصبر نفسك مع الذين يدعون ربهم بالغداة والعشي﴾، الصبر هنا عبادة. | ياسمين العنزي

If the world becomes corrupt and you see yourself mixing with people that increase you in evil and push you away from Allāh, then resort to loneliness.

[Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Salih al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullah), Sharh Riyadh as-Saliheen, 5/453]

"حُبُّ النبيِّ على الأنامِ فريضةٌ
لا تنسَ ذكرَ الهاشميِّ الأكرَمِ
إنَّ الصَّلاةَ على النبيِّ وسيلةٌ
فيها النَّجاةُ لكلِّ عَبدٍ مُسلِمِ
صَلُّوا على القمرِ المُنيرِ فإنهُ
نُورٌ تبدَّى في الغمامِ المُظلمِ ".

🤍 ﷺ

كان الإمام أحمد -رحمه الله- يقول : إذا ذكرتُ الموت هانّ عليَّ كُل أمر الدُّنيا، إِنَّما هو طعام دون طعام وشراب دون شراب، ولباس دون لباس، وإنها أيام قلائل..

a day in which you do not recite the Qurān is a day of wasted blessings. read, recite, memorise whenever and whatever you can.

Ibn `Abbas رضي الله عنه reported:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
He who does not memorize any part from the Qur'an, is like the ruined house.'

– منهج السلف في تزكية النفوس

الذي يداوم على الشكر، هو الذي لا يلهيه التكاثر
the person who is constant in giving thanks to Allah, is the one who is not distracted by worldly gain

— منهج السلف في تزكية النفوس

One who submits to someone with hatred is not worshiping him. And one who loves someone without submitting to him is likewise not worshiping him; this is like a man who loves his son and friends. Therefore, neither love nor submission alone are sufficient in worshiping Allah. Allah must be loved most by Al-'Abd and He must be the greatest of all in his sight. Nothing deserves complete love and submission except Allah. It is a futile love when anything has been loved for other than the sake of Allah. And whatever has been highly regarded without it being by the Command of Allah, its glorification is rejected.
