Ibn Al Qayyim said: Four things bring about Rizq:
– The Night Prayer
– Increasingly seeking forgiveness in the hours before sunrise
– Consistently giving Sadaqah,
– Remembering Allah in the beginning of the day and at its end.
[زاد المعاد ج٤ ص٣٧٨]
- To find contentment:
“If all people gathered to benefit you, they'd only do so with what Allah has already written for you.”
- To find peace:
“If all people gathered to harm you, they'd only do so with what Allah has already decreed for you.”
- For reliance on destiny:
“No one can benefit or harm you beyond what Allah has decreed. The outcome is sealed – the pens have been lifted, and the pages have dried.”

Normalize excellence. Eat halāl & tayyib. Stack cash & give back. Learn Qur'ān. Start a business. Build a family. Get your mind straight. Check your heart. Protect your soul. Love for a stranger what you love for yourself. Life is short. Do it with ihsān. Leave people inspired.
