Growth is quiet. It doesn’t shout. It’s humble and reassuring. You feel a deep sense of achievement but you don’t seek validation. You feel a sense of calm. You know you gave it all you got; and you know that the Almighty knows. That’s good enough for you.
Always pray to have 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 in The Almighty. Remember, our prayers have no expiration date. You never know when, where, or how The Almighty will answer.
What Allah ﷻ took from you is out of His wisdom, and what He left with you is out of His mercy.
The believer will never be lost between the wisdom and mercy of his Lord.
Never be ashamed of the scars as a result of your journey. It’s testimony that you’ve conquered the pain, learnt your lesson and emerged stronger for it. Don’t allow your scars to hold you hostage. See them in a positive light. See them as a sign of strength to do even better.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from grief and sadness, from weakness and from laziness, from miserliness and from cowardice, from being overcome by debt and from being overpowered by men (i.e. other people).
Nabi صلى الله عليه وسلم Said : "When a man wakes his wife during the night and both offer two Rakaah Tahajjud Salah , they are counted amongst those men and women, who remember ALLAH abundantly." (Abu Dawud)A♥
'ALLAH has guaranteed you sustenance (rizq), so don't wear yourself out worrying about your future. You are being taken care of by the best of Caretakers. Focus simply on your efforts and strive hard."A♥
And there are some who worship Allah on the verge of faith: if they are blessed with something good, they are content with it; but if they are afflicted with a trial, they relapse into disbelief, losing this world and the Hereafter. That is truly the clearest loss.
#Quran 22:11
Prophet Mohammad ﷺ said:
"If the whole world were to gather together in order to harm you, they wouldn't harm you except if Allah had written so."
40 Hadees Nabwi 19
At Tirmidhi
"And never let them avert you from the verses of Allah after they have been revealed to you. And invite [people] to your Lord. And never be of those who associate others with Allah ."
Al-Qasas 28:87
Better to have an enemy who slaps you in the face than a friend who stabs you in the back. And be careful who you tell your feelings to, because some people are waiting for the opportunity to use them against you.
Congratulations to those who leave the world before it deserts them; to those who build their graves before they enter them; and to those who please their Lord before they meet Him.
Learn to be patient. It has many virtues and you’ll end up tasting the sweetest fruits. Instead, when you’re impatient and rash, it can cost you dearly in terms of wasted time and resources. So learn to slow down. The Almighty will grant you ease when the time is right.
"اللّهم إنّك عفوٌ تُحِبُّ العَفوَ فاعْفُ عنِّي"

"O Allah! You are most forgiving; You love to forgive, so forgive me"
