do not feel lonely in the path of guidance, and do not worry about how few are the people who follow it. beware of the paths of misguidance, and do not be deceived by the large numbers of those who doomed.

" القلب إنما خُلق لأجل حب الله تعالى،
لا تُشتت قلبك في البحث عن حب وأمان وكمال عند غير الله فلن تجد، وسيبقى القلب يخذله البشر، وهم معذورون جميعا؛ لنقصهم وضعفهم وستبقى تتوجع بهم ، حتى تتيقن أن التعلق الحقيقي لا يصلح إلا لله وحده! ".

‘Among the means of eliminating, worry, grief and anxiety is being gracious towards creation, by words and all types of good acts. All of these are good and excellent in the sight of Allah, and by them Allah removes worries and anxieties from both the good and the evil — each in accordance with his level of being good to creation.
Furthermore, the portion of believer is more complete and perfect, as he als excels by the fact that his goodness is born out of his sincerity to Allah and seeking His reward’

" In His Book, Allah has narrated numerous stories that deal with relief coming after distress and hardship. He told us of His rescuing Nuh and those with him on the ark from the “terrible plight”wherein the earth’s population were all drowned. He informed us of His saving Ibrahim عليه السلام from the fire kindled by the polytheists and how He made it “coolness and peace for him".
He also narrated to us how He ordered Ibrahim to slaughter his son and, at the last moment, how He ransomed him with a 'mighty sacrifice'. He told us of the story of Musa and how his mother placed him in the river and his subsequently being found by Pharaoh’s family. He informed us of the story of Musa and Pharaoh: how He saved Musa and drowned his enemy. He narrated the story of Ayyub, Yunus, Ya'qub, Yusuf and the story of Yunus’s people when they believed.
He told us the story of 'A’ishah when she was falsely accused and how He absolved her of that accusation. He also told us about numerous incidents in the life of Muhammad ﷺ where He came to his aid and saved him such as when he was in the cave, at the Battle of Badr, the Battle of Uhud and the Battle of Hunayn....'

our lives will go through tumultuous times, times where it may feel that there is no light at the end of the tunnel. pitstops and lonely journeys that can alienate you from even your loved ones. but for the believer that has the qurān as their companion, life with the qurān is the remedy to their hurt.
when their iman dips and when it is high, they are in constant recitation and reflection of the qurān. not a day or evening passes where they have not opened their mushaf and let their eyes trace over the speech of Allah. your heart can feel so heavy with life’s responsibilities and tests, but once you read and listen to the qurān, you feel as light as a feather. there is no pain nor heartache nor sorrow that remembrance of Allah and reflection over His speech cannot cure.

قال شيخنا محمّد الشنقيطِي -وفقهُ الله-: ليسَ هناك محبَّة أصدق من محبَّـة الله -عزَّ وجل-، *وليسَ هناك أحدٌ يحبّ على الحقيقةِ كمحبَّة العبد لربِّه*، ومهمَا أحببت شيئًـا فأنتَ مغالٍ فيه إلَّا الله -تعالَى-، فإنك مهمَا أحببتهُ وأجللتَـه، ومهما أعظمتَه وأكبَرته، فأنت المُقصِّر في حقِّه -سُبحانه وتعالى-.
وقال بعض العلماء: "*يُستدل على محبَّـة العبد لله بتوفِيق الله -عزَّ وجل- للعَبد لطاعتـه*"، ولذلِك ما استقرَّت محبَّة الله في قلبِ عبدٍ *إلا وجدتهُ أنشط ما يكُون لفعلِ فَرائض الله، وأبعدَ ما يكُون عن حدودِ الله ومحارمِ الله -عزَّ وجل-*، فمن أحبَ الله انتظرَ في كل لحظةٍ أمرًا من أوامرهِ حتى يُلبي ذلِك الأمر، وانتظرَ في كل لحظةٍ من لحظاته نهيًـا من النَّواهي حتى يتقربَ إلى الله -عزَّ وجل- في ترك ذلك المنهِي".
وقال شيخُ الإسلام ابن تيميَّة -رحمهُ الله-: "والعبدُ كماله في أن يَعرف الله *فيُحبه*، ثمَّ في الآخِـرة يراهُ ويلتذُّ بالنَّظر إليـه".
وأنتَ في زمانٍ يحبهُ الله، *فأكثر من ما يُحبـه الله*؛ وإن كنتَ مقصرًا في حقّه، فهروِل إلى طاعتـه وحُبّـه.
Our Sheikh Muhammad Al-Shanqeeti - may Allah grant him success - said: There is no love that is truer than the love of Allah *And there is no one who loves truly as the love of a servant to his Lord *, and no matter how much you love something, you are exaggerating in it except for in your love for Allah, for no matter how much you love and honor Him, and no matter how much you praise Him and glorify Him, you will fall short in fulfilling His right upon you.
Some of the scholars said: “*The love of a servant for His Lord is indicated by the servant’s obedience of His Rabb.”, and that is why the love of Allah did not settle in the heart of a servant except that I found him the most active in fulfilling Allah’s obligations, and the farthest from transgressing the limits of Allah and the prohibitions of Allah - , so whoever loves Allah, waits in every moment for one of His commands until he fulfills that command, and waits in every moment for a prohibition from the prohibitions until he draws closer to Allah - the Mighty and Sublime - in leaving that prohibition.
The Sheikh of Islam Ibn Taymiyyah - may Allah have mercy on him - said: “The servant is in a complete state when he knows Allah and then loves Him, then in the Hereafter he sees Him and takes pleasure in looking at Him.”
And you are in a time that Allah loves, so increase in doing that which Allah loves, And if you are negligent and falling short in His right, then hasten to His obedience and His love.

On the Day of Khaybar, the Muslims endured severe cold. The Prophet ʿalayhi al-salam ordered those who have blankets to share with those who don’t. Abū Rāfiʿ said, "Finding no one to share with me, I went to the Prophet ʿalayhi al-salam, and he covered me with his own."

« a servant might be deprived of a provision that was written for him because of a sin he commits. »
﴿يَومَئِذٍ يَتَّبِعونَ الدّاعِيَ لا عِوَجَ لَهُ وَخَشَعَتِ الأَصواتُ لِلرَّحمنِ فَلا تَسمَعُ إِلّا هَمسًا﴾ [طه: ١٠٨]
قال محمد بن كعب القرظي : يحشر الله الناس يوم القيامة في ظلمة ، وتطوى السماء ، وتتناثر النجوم ، وتذهب الشمس والقمر ، وينادي مناد ، فيتبع الناس الصوت [ فيأتونه ] فذلك قوله : ( يومئذ يتبعون الداعي لا عوج له ) .

« That Day, they [i.e., everyone] will follow [the call of] the Caller [with] no deviation therefrom, and [all] voices will be stilled before the Most Merciful, so you will not hear except a whisper [of footsteps] »

On the Day, they see these conditions and these frightening sights, they will hastily respond to the caller. Wherever they are commanded to go, they will rush to it. If they had been like this in the worldly life, it would have been more beneficial for them, but here it does not benefit them.
This is as Allah says,

Deeds earn different levels of rewards based on the faith and sincerity in one’s heart. Two people might be praying in the same row, yet the difference between their prayers is like the distance between the earth and the heavens. Allah said,
— Ibn Taymiyyah, Minhāj al-sunnah
"Neither their meat nor their blood will reach Allah, but what reaches Him is taqwa from you." (22:37)
— Ibn Taymiyyah, Minhāj al-sunnah
Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله said:
“Know that if people are impressed with you, in reality, they are impressed with the beauty of Allāh’s covering of your [sins]."
The prophet ﷺ said: the most beloved actions to Allah are those which are consistent, even if it is small — bukhari
examples of virtuous deeds we can implement regularly:
- praying witr and tahajjud / qiyam
- fasting Mondays and Thursdays
- donating a portion of your allowance weekly
- reciting / memorising/ pondering over the quran daily
- seeking beneficial knowledge
- sharing beneficial knowledge
- memorising ahadith of the prophet ﷺ
and many many more! the doors for opportunity are wide open for us alhamdulillah. so what is holding us back?
there are so many no longer with us who would wish to have one more chance to pray again or to fast again and do more good deeds. May Allah forgive us for our shortcomings and guide us to that which is best.
