A person’s superiority over another is determined by the actions of the heart. Work on your heart, for it is the heart that carries you on the journey to the Hereafter.
The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:
Abu Hurairah (RAA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
“The fear of Allah and good morals (Akhlaq) are the two major characteristics which lead to Paradise.”
-(Related by At-Tirmidhi and Al-Hakim graded it as Sahih.)
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un.
It is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of my beloved father. We kindly solicit your prayers for him.
Jazakhallah bi khair.
Sometimes you keep asking Allah for the same thing until your heart becomes tired of waiting. But remember: Allah is not ignoring you. He is writing your story with a wisdom you cannot see yet. What feels like a delay may be protection, preparation, or simply the perfect timing that only He knows. Keep making du’a, even when you feel exhausted. Keep trusting, even when nothing seems to change. One day, you may look back and thank Allah for every moment He made you wait.
Say, “O My servants who have exceeded the limits against their souls! Do not lose hope in Allah’s mercy, for Allah certainly forgives all sins. He is indeed the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
— Surah Az-Zumar (39:53)
Ya Allah, when our final moment arrives, let our hearts be filled with īmān, our tongues with Lā ilāha illallāh, and let us leave this world while You are pleased with us. Amin Ya Rabb.
Why me?"
Al-fudhayl bin iyaadh said:
If Allah loves a servant, He increases his grief (afflictions) and if He dislikes a servant, He expands his worldly affairs.
Siyar Alaam an Nubalaa (8/432)
Ya Allah, I surrender the emotions I cannot control. The sadness, the longing, the fear, the anger, the loneliness, and every silent ache. I surrender the people I cannot keep, the past I cannot change, and the future I cannot see. Take everything that is too heavy for my heart. Replace it with sabr, sakinah, yaqeen, and tawakkul. Let me sleep tonight knowing that my heart is in Your hands.
