Ad - Dunya Dar al - Imtihan

Do you wonder sometimes why your plans fall apart, despite all your efforts? It's not because you've failed, but perhaps because Allah is protecting you from something unseen. Sometimes, what we desire may not be what's best for us. When life doesn't unfold the way you imagined, remember that Allah's wisdom far surpasses ours. He doesn't withhold good from you; He's aligning you with something better, something you might not see yet. Isn't it comforting to know that even when things seem uncertain, they're being guided by the One who loves you most? Trust that every delay, every detour, is perfectly timed. His plan is always for your greater good.

Everything is just between you and your Creator, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah. At this stage of my life, I reflect on the reality that life is a test given to us by Allah. It involves accepting His Qadr, being patient and grateful, seeking His guidance and pleasure, praising Him, obeying Him, and trusting Him. Life is filled with ups and downs and uncertainties, and only Allah knows what the future holds. While we make decisions, plans, and take actions, everything ultimately happens by Allah's permission, blessing, and decree. Therefore, it is always about Allah. He uses people to test our faith and to see who among us is best in deeds.

A Heart That Sees Good, Spreads Good

”Those who cannot see good in others often become quick to judge and blind to mercy.

But a true believer is different, our faith teaches us to search for goodness, to make excuses, and to pray for those who stumble rather than rejoice in their fall.

We do not mock, nor envy, nor belittle others because we know that the one we look down upon today may surpass us tomorrow in closeness to Allāh.

A heart that carries īmān is a heart that carries mercy. Be that heart.”

Via Abū Ismā’īl

“The Qur’ān never changes, yet every time you return to it, it speaks to you in a new way because you have changed.

For the lost, it is light. For the broken, it is healing. For the seeker, it is guidance. And for the one yearning for Jannah, it is the path that leads there.

Sometimes it awakens you with a warning, other times it soothes you with mercy but it always gives you exactly what your heart needs. Open it, and let it find you where you are in life.”

None Knows Except Allah: Will We Witness Another Ramadan?

Sheikh Muhammad Sa’eed Raslan حفظه الله

F A S T I N G

The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
"Every deed of the son of Adam is for him, except fasting; it is for Me, and I will reward it."
(Sahih al-Bukhari, 1904; Sahih Muslim, 1151)

The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
"Fasting three days of every month is like fasting for a lifetime."
(Sahih al-Bukhari, 1979; Sahih Muslim, 1159)

Additionally,

From The Virtue Of The Month of Sha'bān Is That The Prophet ﷺ Would Fast Most Of It


Shaykh Muḥammad Ṣāliḥ al-'Uthaymīn رحمه الله said: "As for Sha'bān, then yes it is unique since the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Salam would increase his fasting. Rather, he would fast most of this month. So it is befitting to increase fasting in Sha'bān.

[لقاء الباالمفتوح ١٧٤]

As narrated by Usama, he said: “I asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, I have not seen you fasting in any month as much as you fast in Sha’ban.’” He ﷺ replied: “It is a month in which the deeds are raised to the Lord of the worlds, and I love that my deeds are raised while I am fasting.”

May Allah grant us the ability to fast in Sha’ban and make us among those whose deeds are accepted. Allahumma Ameen.

إغتَنَمُوا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ
Take Advantage of Yawm Al Jumu'ah

كَثْرَةُ الصَّلَاَةِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ :-
قال رسول ﷲ ﷺ :« أكثروا من الصلاة عليّ ليلة الجمعة و يوم الجمعة فإن صلاتكم معروضة عليّ » .
Increase in Sending Salutations upon the Prophet (ﷺ):
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Increase your prayers upon me on the night and day of Friday, for your prayers are presented to me."

الدُّعَاءُ :
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ الله عَنْهُ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَكَرَ يَوْمَ الجُمُعَةِ، فَقَالَ :« فِيه سَاعَةٌ لا يُوَافِقها عَبْدٌ مُسلِمٌ، وَهُو قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي يسأَلُ اللَّه شَيْئًا، إِلاَّ أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاه» .

The Dua :
Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) mentioned the day of Friday, saying: "On it is an hour in which no Muslim servant stands to pray and asks Allah for something, except that He grants it to him."

سُورَةُ الْكَهْفِ :-
عن أبي سَعيدٍ الخُدريِّ عنِ النبيِّ صلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّم أنَّه قال :« مَن قَرَأَ سورةَ الكَهفِ يومَ الجُمُعةِ أضاءَ له من النورِ ما بَينَ الجُمُعتينِ » .

Surah Al-Kahf:
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever recites Surah Al-Kahf on the day of Friday, it will illuminate him with light between this Friday and the next."

When your intentions are pure and you act for the sake of Allaah, you never truly lose anyone.

If someone walks away from you despite your sincerity, it’s their loss, not yours. Allaah knows what is in your heart, and when your efforts and relationships are guided by purity and honesty, He will always replace what is taken with something better.

In your journey of serving others remember that Allaah sees the truth of your efforts. Those who fail to value your sincerity lose the opportunity to benefit from it.

O ALTRUISTIC SOUL,

It's awe-inspiring how deeply you care for others, pouring your heart out even as you sometimes forget about yourself. You give endlessly, never hesitating to lend a helping hand. Your kindness and authenticity are rare treasures. But let me tell you, just for once in your journey—it would be even more extraordinary if you bestowed upon yourself the same love and care you shower upon others.

I understand your instinct to prioritize others, but remember, you deserve love too. Your emotions are valid, and your voice deserves to be heard. Treat yourself with the same compassion and respect you offer to others. Love yourself as fervently as you love others. It's unjust to pour so much love outwardly while neglecting the soul reflected in the mirror each day.

Indeed, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said in Surah Az-Zumar (39:53):

"Say, 'O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah.'"

This verse reminds us of Allah's mercy and encourages us to be compassionate toward ourselves, acknowledging our own worth and seeking forgiveness.

And there is a hadith from Sahih Muslim:
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "None of you [truly] believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself." (Sahih Muslim, Hadith 45)

While emphasizing love for others, this hadith also implies the importance of self-love, as one must first have a healthy love and respect for oneself to genuinely wish the same for others.

@addunyadaralimtihan

O Allah, grant us health in our bodies.
O Allah, preserve for us our hearing.

No matter what you are going through, always ask and cry to Allah. He will help and guide you, as He is the only one who can. Never lose hope. Everything is temporary—both the hardships and the pain. Sabr

“Take a moment my brothers & sisters to reflect on the Azān—a call that has echoed across the world for over 1400 years, unchanged in its words and purpose.

It soothes the heart, strengthens the soul, and reminds us why we are here. It is a call to Tawhīd, to worship the One who created us, and to leave behind the distractions of this world.

Consider the countless lives that have been sacrificed to ensure this call continues to echo through history.

Pause today, listen, and let its words sink deep into your heart. Reflect on its meaning and let it renew your faith.”

The more I live life the more I realise that Allah wants us to submit to Him entirely. And one of the highest levels of submission is to submit to His Qadr.

Az-Zumar 39:10
“Say, *'O My servants who have believed, fear your Lord. For those who do good in this world is goodness, and the earth of Allah is spacious. Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account.'*”

This is why it’s a pillar of imaan. How can you qualify to accept His Qadr if you never go through any difficulty where you’re given the opportunity to accept His Qadr?

Nafs al-munta’innah is the highest level of being because it’s pleased with Allah being its Rabb and content with His Qadr.

No trials, no reward. No raising in ranks. No becoming noteworthy or a leader.

Qadr of Allah tames your nafs into submission♡

@taqwatawheedtales🕊️

“Trials of this life are not the end—they are the beginning of transformation. They are Allāh’s way of purifying and elevating those He loves. Each hardship removes sins, strengthens the soul, and prepares you for higher stations.

Reflect deeply—our deeds alone may not earn us Jannah’s lofty heights, but the patience we show through trials can.

Could we grow without being tested?
Could we rise without being purified?

Stand firm, for every trial carries a reward greater than the pain, and every tear shed for Allāh’s sake is a step closer to Him.”

“The seed of Khair you plant today in your community is not just for now—it is a gift for generations to come. With every act of Da’wah, every word of truth, and every step towards uplifting others, you are building a legacy.

One day, long after you’re gone, someone may sit under the shade of the goodness you nurtured, and their Du’ā will reach you in your grave.

So plant that seed sincerely for Allāh, and let it grow into a tree of endless reward.”

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“The one whose soul craves disobedience but he leaves it for Allāh, those are the ones who Allāh tested their hearts with piety and for them is forgiveness and a tremendous reward."

[al-Fawā’id | 125]

”We’ve become more focused on who is reciting the Qur’ān than understanding its meaning and living by its teachings.

The Sahābah were transformed by its message, not by voices, but by hearts that truly listened and lives that submitted.

Let us return to its purpose: guidance, not performance.”

Via Abū Ismā’īl

Allāh’s advice to Prophet Mūsā: “Do not become angry over a fool…”

● {Akhbār al-Hamqā wal-Mughaffilīn (p. 38)}

Surah Az-Zumar, Ayah 21:

“Do you not see that Allah sends down water from the sky and lets it flow as springs in the earth, then He brings forth thereby crops of different colors, then they wither and you see them turning yellow, then He makes them chaff? Indeed in that is a reminder for those of understanding.”

We all have a verse that sends chills down our spine; to be honest, this one is mine. This verse always reminds me of my fleeting time on this earth:

“Then, these crops wither and dry up, and you see them turning yellow after being fresh and green. Then, they become dry straw, which the wind scatters. This is an example of how the life of this world ends, with its adornments and luxuries fading away, leaving only dried remnants. This process serves as a lesson and reminder for those who have wisdom and understanding” (Tafseer Ibn Kathir).

The imagery of crops withering and turning to dry straw starkly illustrates the transient nature of our worldly life. Our time here is short, and everything we cherish will eventually fade away. This is a reminder for the wise.

We only have one shot at this life... just one. In these times, so many things pull and tug at our attention. Sometimes we get lost in our day-to-day with work and family. It’s crucial to reflect on our lives and our spiritual standing. Are you truly pleased with yourself? Do you give people their haqq? If you were to die today, what would be the state of your grave?

This life is so short; turn back to Allah before it’s too late. You know what you need to stop. You know who you need to cut off. You know you need to pray. Stop procrastinating. Allah will replace whatever you think is good for you with something better.

“But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not.” (Quran 2:216)

Imagine wasting your spot in Jannah for this fleeting world. Wake up from your slumber. The actions you deem insignificant or that society normalizes can lead to the eternal punishment of Jahannam.

ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭab said, "A person who talks too much is a person who often makes mistakes, and someone who often makes mistakes, often falls into wrong actions."

— Ibn Rajab, Jāmiʿ al-ʿulūm wal-ḥikam, p. 161

Whoever comes to Me walking, I will come to them running.

— Bukhārī no. 7405

On a deeper level, this statement reflects a positive Islamic perspective on marriage. It encourages believers to view marriage as an institution that brings barakah (blessings) and support, helping both partners grow emotionally, spiritually, and financially. Rather than fearing poverty or hardship, marriage is seen as a means to gain Allah's favor, through which He may provide sustenance. This reinforces the idea that reliance on Allah and fulfilling one’s responsibilities in marriage can lead to beneficial outcomes.

This teaching is a reminder to Muslims that financial fears should not be a deterrent to marriage, as sustenance is ultimately provided by Allah.

Listening To The Qur’an

The one listening to the Qur'an is a participant with the reader in every letter which incurs a good deed, and every good deed is equivalent to ten the like of it.

[Shaykh Abdul Aziz bin Baz (Rahimahullah), Fatawa Noor Ala Darb, (26/350)]

Khatmah of the Quran (complete reading/khatm)

Muhammad ibn Isma’eel i.e., al-Bukhaari (rahimahullah) said about khatmah of the Quran:

“At every Khatmah, a du’a is (certainly) answered.”

[Shu’ab al-Eemaan, al-Bayhaqi (rahimahullah), 2058]

No one truly and deeply cares about you except Allah

If you feel unprovided, deprived, & feel all sources have exhausted, all solutions have failed, & there is absolutely nothing left for you, remind yourself of what Ar-Razzaq is doing for you, right now. Right now, someone is planting a seed, that will grow into a fruit, which will be finally consumed by you, right now somewhere in the fields, someone is sowing crops, that will make it to your plate soon, right now, someone is praying for someone like you, right now, Allah is preparing financial assistance for you, right now, in some factory, there are things being manufactured, which will be used by you, right now there are clothes waiting on the store to be picked up by you, right now there are endless events happening out there in the world, just and just for you. Don’t feel abandoned by your Creator, because He never stopped caring or providing for you. This is our Allah, this is Ar-Razzaq, a source that never runs out, what runs out is our comprehension & wisdom. So trust Him. 🤍

Imam Ibn al-Qayyim said: “Everything that a person enjoys in this world, if he goes to extremes in that, even if it is halaal, his share of it will be reduced on the Day of Resurrection.”

Life doesn't follow a steady pace,
There are days and nights that feel heavy, when you stumble, the world seems tight, and your heart feels constricted.

Yet, with every challenge, your faith in Allah renews and strengthens!

The beautiful and comforting thing is that for the believer, everything is good. Praise be to Allah for His presence and kindness, Glory be to Him.

In sha Allah, it will be for the best ❤️

“How can the heart sleep in tranquility,

تأكد و بشِدة .. أنّ هناك حكمة وراء كل تلك الأحداث التي حدثت و سوف تحدث، وأنّ هناك خير عظيم وفرح كبير مكتوب يليق بكل كمية الصبر الذي تحليت به ، وأنّ هُناك أيام رائعة ستأتي تستحق الإنتظار ، طالما أن الله معك و بجانبك دائما.

Be sure with certainty that there is wisdom behind all the events that have happened and will happen, and that there is great good and immense joy written for you that matches the amount of patience you have shown. Wonderful days are coming that are worth the wait, as long as Allah is always with you and by your side.

Before we sleep, let us always check our hearts to ensure there is no anger or hatred towards anyone, and that we haven’t hurt or harmed anyone. Indeed, Allah is the Most Forgiving and loves those who forgive. Let us forgive others when they wrong us, and let us also forgive ourselves for our own mistakes and sins.

قَالَ بَعضُ السَّلَفِ :

and nothing ascends from the earth more honorable than sincerity."

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

“Nothing can be beneficial to the heart like reciting the Qur’ān meditatively. It causes one to have love for Allāh, passion, fear, beseeching Allāh, reliance upon Him, gratefulness to Allāh and patience, in addition to everything that puts life into the heart.”

‎اللهُمَّ طَهِّرْ قَلْبِي مِنْ كُلِّ خُلُقٍ لا يُرْضِيْكَ

Breaking the Chains of Silence of Men’s Mental Health.

In a world that often overlooks the silent battles men face within their minds, it's crucial to realize that their struggles are as profound and heart-wrenching as anyone else's. The suffocating stigma surrounding men's mental health persists. Just because men might not be as vocal as women we can easily assume they’re strong individuals.

The bravery lies in seeking help, in sharing one's pain, and in the quiet strength it takes to confront the darkest of storms within.

Narrated by Anas bin Malik, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "None of you will have faith until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself." (Sahih al-Bukhari)

This Hadith underscores the principle of empathy, encouraging believers to wish for their fellow Muslims what they wish for themselves. It emphasizes the importance of caring for the well-being of others, sharing in their joys and sorrow, and showing genuine compassion and understanding. This concept of empathy is a fundamental aspect of Islamic teachings, promoting a sense of community and mutual support among believers.

The silent struggle is real, and the static of suicide among men is a haunting reminder of the depths of their despair. Let's extend our hands, our hearts, and our unwavering support to our fathers, husbands and brothers. Let's ensure they never walk alone in their darkest hours and please check-in on your loved ones.

Sincerely,

Woman of sunnah.

Al-Dhahāk bin Muzāhim رحمه الله:

“A man doesn’t learn the Quran then forgets it, except by way of sinning,”
Then he recited:

۝ وَمَا أَصَابَكُم مِّن مُّصِيبَةٍ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَيَعْفُو عَن كَثِيرٍ ۝

And whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned. And He pardons much.

He then said:

“And what greater calamity is there than forgetting the Qur’ān?”

[الزهد لوكيع ص. ٣٢١]

womenofsunnah🖤

Sin is expensive. But the price isn’t paid in cash; it’s paid in mental, emotional, and spiritual pain. Often, when we feel a strange sense of anxiety, we’re quick to look for distractions. Have you ever considered that this might be a repercussion of your sins? It’s a slow burner, but eventually, it can take over your heart, leading you astray.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “When a servant commits a sin, a black spot appears on his heart. If he gives it up, seeks forgiveness, and repents, his heart will be polished clean. But if he persists, the blackness will increase until it overtakes his heart”. (Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith 4244)

This is the covering of the heart which Allah has mentioned: ‘Nay! But on their hearts is the covering of sins (ran) which they used to earn (Quran 83:14)’

Allah didn’t establish an arbitrary list of “DO’S” and “DON’TS” merely to test us. He provided us with essential guidelines for living. His displeasure towards lying, stealing, cheating, coveting, murder, jealousy, zina, and pride arises because these actions destroy those around us, our relationships, and most importantly, ourselves. Everything the Quran identifies as sin is something Allah wants to protect us from. His desire is for us to experience love, peace, grace, and harmony with Him and all of creation. Sin represents our defiant rejection of this, an attempt to fulfill our selfish desires.

Have you sought forgiveness today?

Sincerely,

The Sinner.

“And whoever fears Allah—He will make for him a way out” (Quran 65:2).

Don’t envy what others have achieved; you never know the challenges and sacrifices they’ve faced to get there.

Signs that should worry you:

-Mushaf is too dusty

-Habbits are too stubborn
-Sins are too easy
-Dunya is too attractive

How are you?

This moment you are in will pass.
If you are struggling, look forward to coming out of the difficult situation you are in because you will. Pray to Allah, take the lessons, and look forward to when this will be a memory, a learning curve. If you are in a good place in your life, remember to be grateful. Nothing preserves or increases blessings, or eliminates future regret, like gratitude - that is in your hands. And many times, you will have both ease and struggle at the same time. You may be jobless, but you have a family that loves you. Your job might be stressful, but you have a roof over your head because of it. Your family might be giving you a hard time, but your friends are supportive of you. Much of life is like this. Look to the good to comfort you in your struggle, and recognize that even that is a gift from Allah to help you through your difficulty. ♡

Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله:

“All grief lies in the remembrance and longing of the days that have passed by and ended, when Adam (‘alayhi as-salām) had been close to his Lord; the tongue of his state says, woe to me, and the heart exclaims, relieve my longing!

How many distressing incidents did he post in secret that only the heart knows of the contents of which are ruefulness and conceal regret.”

[Seeds of Admonishment & Reform | Pg. 35]

It’s okay to worry, to be fearful and to be anxious about what’s to come next. Although you don’t like to compare and you’re truly happy for everyone that is blessed by Allah, sometimes you do feel it. You do ask yourself, ‘When will it be my turn?’ or ‘What am I doing wrong?’ The truth is, you’re trying your best. ♡ You’re praying for what you want and I know that sometimes you may feel hopeless but you must remember that your story, your qadr, it is safe with Allah. He knows the deepest thoughts of your mind and the deepest prayers of your heart. And He will give you everything you pray for and more. Just because your time hasn’t happened yet, it doesn’t mean it’s not meant to happen. It just means that Allah wants you to be close to Him. He loves you and He’s chosen you to be amongst those who strengthen their faith and rely only on Him. So that even when He does bless you with all that you have prayed for, you will learn that your hope in Him was all that you ever needed.

1. Don't advertise your happy marriage on social media

2. Don't advertise your kids achievements on Social media

3. Don't advertise your expensive buys on social media Reality is...

1. Not everyone is going to be happy for you

2. Most of the "Nice" comments you get are just fake

3. You will only attract the evil eye on you and your family

4. You are attracting jealous people in your life

5. You don't know who is saving your pictures and checking your updates

6. You really need to stop this because it may ruin your life, family, marriage and career.

Social Media is the devils eyes, ears and mouth, don't fall in to the devils trap. Let your private life remain private.

If you had strived and exerted a lot of effort, and yet the results were not fair to you, then remember this Aayah:

وَأَنَّ سَعْيَهُ سَوْفَ يُرَىٰ

{And that his effort is going to be seen}
📚[Surah al-Najm (53):40]

Allaah is seeing your diligent efforts, your hard work, your fatigue, the sleepless nights, the troubles that you are going through, the burden that you are carrying, and your attempts to reach the desired goals.

You won’t be held accountable for the end results, but you will be judged based on your intentions, your efforts, and your determination; and you will be rewarded for all your hard work and patience. Allaah تعالى will reward you with something better which is with Him, and which will make you forget the bitterness of the hardships that you had suffered as if you suffered nothing.

So, do not let the outcome of your actions make you feel low and dejected. This is not the end. You tried and Allaah تعالى has seen your efforts, and this is what should suffice.🥀

The eye is the mirror of the heart…
Imām Ibn al-Qayyim [Allāh have mercy on him] said:
“The eye is the mirror of the heart, so if the slave lowers his gaze, the heart will lower its desires and whims, and if he lets his gaze wander, the desire in his heart will be released.”
[Rawdat al-Muhibbīn | P. 109]

Your direction is more important than your speed. Many people are going nowhere very fast.

"If you are on the path towards Allah, then run. If it is hard for you then jog. If you get tired, then walk. And if you can't, then crawl. But never go back or stop." (Imam Shafi'i)

That, "NEVER GO BACK OR STOP" 🥺✅

Death is among the very few certainties of this dunya, and in its remembrance, we come to reflect on how we use our time. Death teaches us that amassing wealth and status is ultimately useless – our dollar bills will be of no use to us in the grave. Instead, we should focus on worshipping Allah and performing good deeds. These are the actions that will bring us enduring benefits that will last beyond the grave, and bring us success on the Day of Judgement.

Every moment we have is a moment to better prepare for our deaths. Allah has given you this time, so don’t waste it. There are so many ways to draw closer to Allah, such as giving charity, seeking knowledge, fasting, educating, memorising the Quran, and so many more. The Quran warns us of the disbeliever who fails to use his time for serving Allah:

When death comes to one of them, he says, ‘My Lord, send me back that I might do righteousness in that which I left behind’. No! It is only a word he is saying and behind them is a barrier until the Day they are resurrected.”

(Quran 23:99-100)

When we face the reality of death we desperately desire to prepare for the life that follows it in a way that is best. However, for the individual who used this world only to serve himself and rejected the guidance of Allah, it will be too late. Your efforts are sealed at the point of death, and these efforts will decide your position for the hereafter.

Love, I may be far from you, enduring this longing but hoping and praying that my du'a always reaches you. I may not be by your side, but I find peace knowing you are always in my prayers, and so you’ll be fine wherever you are. May you pass every test He sends, and may your patience, faith, knowledge, and character continue to grow in ways that make me proud. And may you always carry with you a deep reverence for Allah, no matter where you may be. Until then, في امان الله, فرحتي.

Never mind what people may say when you are planning or doing something; focus only on what Allah has permitted. Is it permissible? If yes, then do it! People have no authority over your life, but you alone are accountable for everything you do. Just ensure that it pleases Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.

A reminder for myself first and foremost, and to everyone.

-Al Mar-atus Saliha

I don’t know who needs to hear this but, get up and try again. If you keep falling into the same sins, repent once more. If you’ve been lazy with salah, start praying from now. If you’ve given up on making du’a, start again. It doesn’t matter how many steps you’ve taken away from Allāh, it only takes 1 step to turn back to Him. We all slip at times, but I need you to pick yourself back up. Allāh sees how hard you try, your efforts are never wasted.

Tawhīd Is The Foundation of Happiness

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

“The greatest way to achieve happiness is through Tawhīd. The happiness of a person’s heart depends upon its perfection, strength and increase.”

[The Keys to Happiness | Pg. 33]

Ibn al-Qayyim said:

"Be children of the hereafter and don't be children of the worldly life, for verily the child follows the mother."

● [كتاب الفوائد للإمام ابن القيم صفحة ٤٤٦]

Sometimes, we rush through life, feeling tired, anxious, and disappointed because things aren’t happening the way we want. But have you ever stopped to ask yourself, Why am I in such a hurry? Allah isn’t in a rush—He has a plan for you that unfolds at the perfect time. Just as the sun rises at its appointed hour, your blessings will come exactly when they’re meant to. Your job is not to carry the weight of the world but to trust the One who controls it. Can you imagine the peace in letting go of your worries and trusting Him fully?

Unrush yourself. What is meant for you is on its way. Trust Allah’s timing.
