You know a person truly loves you for His sake when they remind you of Him constantly. They fear not of how you may view them, nor do they get put off from telling you, in fear of being ridiculed. They will remind you, for they would love to meet you in Jannah. They will continue to remind you, lovingly, to help you walk the straight path..

..know who your companions are, for true companions will save you from an-Naar, not dip you in it..

And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers [51:55].


You need not legs to be walking on the straight path.. the Almighty tests us for He loves us, it's how we improvise and make use of our situation which makes us successful in life..

To be upset over what you don't have is to waste what you do have.

Ya ALLAH, give me eyes that see the best in people, a heart that forgives the worst, a mind that forgets the bad, and a soul that never loses faith. Ameen.

Why take pride in your looks, your possessions, your wealth.. had He not willed, you'd have none of it. He created YOU for a reason. The reason is not to expolit the gifts He has blessed you with. You exist today because He wanted you to exist.. YOU had nothing to do with it..

Drop the pride. Indeed you are a traveller in this world. But a guaranteed destination for you is your grave. Thus, Drop. The. Pride. None of what you have today is because YOU willed; everything you have is because HE has willed for it to be. Your looks, your possessions and your wealth will not follow you to your grave...

Call Him before He calls you..
Pray before you are prayed upon..
Remember death before death remembers you..
Recite His words before His words are recited upon you..
Leave the worldly life before the worldly life leaves you..

Often we sympathise with the terminally ill; how do they wake every morning thinking today may be their last day? How are we any different? How do we NOT wake every morning thinking today may be OUR last day?

You have been created by the Creator, the most magnificent, the omnipotent, the greatest artist mankind has seen to date. Thus how can your outward beauty be far from beautiful? How can a creation of His be anything but perfect?

Feed not into the conception of perfection held by mankind, for indeed their definitions of perfection is filled with flaws, faults and commonness. You have been made unique, one of a kind, a beautiful sculpture that has been created, perfected and fashioned by your Lord. 

Why would you want to change that? Why would you want to be something the creations want you to be? Be pleased with who you are and what you look like, for indeed, you are nothing but perfect..

Trials are like fire; it can destroy or strengthen you depending on your character and outlook in life. Remember, the fire that melts butter is the same fire that hardens steel.

Sometimes when you take a step forward, you find yourself taking ten steps back. Perhaps the step towards that path was not for you. At times, we find ourselves striving towards a particular goal; but no matter how hard we try, or which path we take, we never get there. Your destiny is pre-written. The pen has been lifted and the ink has now dried. There is no eraser. There is no way around it. What happens, happens because He has willed it; believe it is for the best.

QadrAllaahu wa ma shaa fa'al.

Choose your friends & your books carefully. Friends influence our character & books influence our thoughts.

Every single one of us has a story... We've all been through some level of hardship whilst growing up which has shaped us to be who we are.'

ALLAH never gets distracted & He listens to all; He does not get confused by being asked for so many things; He does not tire when people persist in calling Him. 
 

May He be your Ease during hardship; your Light in the darkness; your Ladder when you fall; your Shield when you're fighting; your Hope when you fail; your Happiness in sadness; your Smile when you cry... Ameen.

..His mercy never leaves us, but we're too blind to see. His blessings always pour upon us, but we're too numb to feel..

Confide in Him as He says He is closer to you than your jugular vein. Believe Him when He says His mercy overcomes His wrath. Trust Him with patience..

So, how can our hearts not love Him… when no one else answers prayers, conceals faults, relieves distress, and grants us blessings?! ALLAH truly loves us all! Allahu Akbar

Difficult life? Think of your sins. 

Now think of your difficulty.. then think of Jahannum. 

Which would you prefer? The expiation of sins in the former, or the latter?

He tests us out of love.. believe it, accept it, trust it.. ease and success will follow bi'ithnillaahu Ta'ala.

Fa inna ma'al usree yusra!

We are very good lawyers to our own mistakes but very good judges to other mistakes...

Rather, He loves when we ask of Him He is kind to His worshippers, & conceals His slave when His slave doesn’t conceal himself; He shows mercy to His servants, even when His servants don’t show mercy to themselves. 
 

In times of crisis, the silence of friends hurts more than the violence of enemies.
O Muslims! Be brothers to one another! Care for each other and help each other...be united.

Some view materialistic wealth as richness; others view wealth of imaan as richness..

Some view trials as difficulties, torture and punishments; others view trials as blessings..

Some view salaah as a duty; others view salaah as a means of connection..

Some view the Qur'an as a book; others view the Qur'an as words of advice, wisdom and tranquility..

Some view the prophet as a man, the seal of the Prophets; others view him (salAllaahu 'alaihi wa sallaam) as a role model, the epitome of perfection..

Some view Islaam as a religion; others view Islaam as a way of life..

We have many views when it comes to the Deen; but there is only one straight, narrow path.. and that is the path of Islaam.. May we all walk this path to His omnipotent door.. Ameen!
