reminder for myself and us all:
ramadan is a time of action and a time of potential. ramadan is a time for ticking off boxes and self-reflection. ramadan is a time of conviction, yaqeen and vulnerability. ramadan is not a time for excuses and self-belittlement and ‘if onlys’ and ‘what ifs’.
don’t cry over spoiled milk. فما مضى قد مضى
if we believe that Allah changes night to day, shows us clear skies after storms, heals our heartbreaks and wounds — why can’t we believe that He can also change us for the better? That we can see the light at the end of the tunnel?
The same Lord that guided omar ibn al khattab رضي الله عنه and the magicians of pharaoh, continues to bless you as a Muslim, and no matter what you have done, The Guider / الهادي, will guide you and forgive you (and Loves to forgive you) just turn to Him.
كل شيء هالكٌ إلّا وجهه،
everything in this world is cursed except Him and His remembrance. Everything we give value to will perish. Yet He will stay.
الحي القيوم 🤍بتدبير خلقه وحفظهم.
let us turn to Allah before we are returned to Him.

it was reported from Aisha رضي الله عنها: When the last ten nights of Ramadan arrived, the Prophet ﷺ would tighten his belt, spend the night in worship, and awaken his family. (Bukhari and Muslim)
— I will be taking a small break until Eid inshaAllah from the channel. May Allah accept our acts of worship from us, make us from those forgiven on the night of decree, and allow us to end this blessed month strong. خير العمل خواتمه ❤️🩹

﴿رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا﴾
قيل:
المُستمسِكون قلَّة وقد ترَك أغلبُهم الجَمرة وهي لم تُحمىٰ بعدُ، ما ابتُلي المسلم بمثل التدرج في سلب الاستقامة، كل يوم يصبح وهو مُنسلخ من أحد محاب الله تعالى حتى يصل إلى ما يبغضه سبحانه، وهو لا يشعر!"

أَمَّنْ هُوَ قَٰنِتٌ ءَانَآءَ ٱلَّيْلِ سَاجِدًا وَقَآئِمًا يَحْذَرُ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ وَيَرْجُوا۟ رَحْمَةَ رَبِّهِۦ
وتخصيص الليل بقنوتهم؛ لأن العبادة بالليل أعون على تمحض القلب لذكر الله، وأبعد عن مداخلة الرياء، وأدل على إيثار عبادة الله على حظ النفس من الراحة والنوم؛ فإن الليل أدعى إلى طلب الراحة، فإذا آثر المرء العبادة فيه استنار قلبه بحب التقرب إلى الله؛ قال تعالى: (إن ناشئة الليل هي أشد وطئاً وأقوم قيلاً) [المزمل: 6].
ابن عاشور:٢٣ / ٣٤٦.

Is one who is obedient to Allâh, prostrating himself or standing (in prayer) during the hours of the night, fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the Mercy of his Lord (like one who disbelieves)? Say: "Are those who know equal to those who know not?" It is only men of understanding who will remember (i.e. get a lesson from Allâh’s Signs and Verses).
{ az-zumar, verse 9 }
— and the night has been specified here because worshiping at night helps the heart to purify the remembrance of Allah, and in doing that, the heart is protected from the riyaa entering it, and it indicates the preference of worshiping Allah over the soul’s share of rest and sleep. The night is more tempting and inviting to seek rest in, so if a person prefers to worship during it, his heart will be enlightened by the love of drawing closer to Allah. Allah says in the Quran: Verily, the rising by night (for Tahajjud prayer) is very hard and most potent and good for governing oneself, and most suitable for (understanding) the Word (of Allâh).

A man asked Shaykh as-Sa'di رحمه الله : How do I reach a point where I can do tadabbur (reflection) of the Quran?
He simply said: you continue to read and read and read … until Allah opens your heart to do tadabbur.

Here Allah says, calling His slaves to think and reflect: *In the earth are signs for those whose faith is certain* That includes the earth itself, and all that is on it of mountains, seas, rivers, trees and plants that direct the attention of the one who reflects upon them and ponders their significance to the greatness o f their Creator, the vastness of His power, the comprehensive nature of His generosity and how His knowledge encompasses all things, both visible and invisible. Likewise, in the individual him self there are lessons and signs of divine wisdom and mercy which indicate that Allah alone is the One, the Unique, the Eternal, and that no one creates but He.

فإن كمال العبد بالعزيمة والثبات
فمن لم يكن له عزيمةٌ فهو ناقص
ومن كانت له عزيمةٌ ولكن لا ثبات له عليها فهو
ناقص
فاذا انضم الثبات الى العزيمة أثمر كل مقامٍ شريفٍ وحالٍ كاملٍ
— ابن القيم

﴿أَفَلَم يَسيروا فِي الأَرضِ فَتَكونَ لَهُم قُلوبٌ يَعقِلونَ بِها أَو آذانٌ يَسمَعونَ بِها فَإِنَّها لا تَعمَى الأَبصارُ وَلكِن تَعمَى القُلوبُ الَّتي فِي الصُّدورِ﴾ [الحج: ٤٦]
have they not travelled throughout the land so their hearts may reason, and their ears may listen? Indeed, it is not the eyes that are blind, but it is the hearts in the chests that grow blind. { hajj: 46 }
may Allah protect us from hard hearts

- لا تملَّ من إصلاح قلبك أبدًا ..
مهما كثُرت عثراتُك، ثِق أن القلب وقود مساعِيك؛ ومتى صلح واستقام سابقت نفسك إلى العبادات والخيرات وصارت خفيفةً في سبيلِ التنقُّل بين رحابِها الوارفة، وليكن مشروعك الأبديّ أن تستقيم تلك المُضغة التي بين جنبيك، وأن تحافظ على دوافعك المنيبة بعد الزَّلل .

« from the most amazing of blessings is the blessing of forgetfulness. If it wasn’t for forgetfulness , the person would not forget anything. sorrow would not pass over him. he would not find comfort regarding a calamity (he went through) and sadness would never come to an end for him. »
