Umar ibn al-Khattab narrated:
"If you were to rely upon Allah with the reliance He deserves, He would provide for you as He provides for the birds: they leave in the morning with empty stomachs and return full.”
Jami’ al-Tirmidhi (Hadith 2344); graded Ṣaḥīḥ by al-Albānī.
If you truly want to be happy, expect little from others, take full responsibility for your life, and remain grateful for what you already have. Happiness grows where entitlement ends, accountability begins, and gratitude becomes a daily habit.
When you wake up, do not expect to reach the evening; and when evening comes, do not expect to reach the morning. Take from your health for your sickness and from your life for your death.
Some wounds heal, but their lessons never fade. A man may forgive those who abandoned, betrayed, ignored, or disrespected him, yet he never forgets. Those memories become the strength that shapes him, reminding him to grow, remain bitter, and never allow the same pain again.
Abu Hurairah narrated; The Prophet said:
“Religion is easy, and no one makes it difficult except that it overwhelms him. So be moderate, seek closeness to perfection, receive glad tidings, and seek help in the morning, evening, and part of the night.”
Sahih Bukhari (Hadith 39)
“When the soul departs, only three things continue to benefit a person: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, and a righteous child who prays for them.” (Sahih Muslim)
Occasionally, life requires you to face the truth and stop wasting your time, energy, and emotions on the wrong people. Not everyone is meant to remain in your life, so value yourself, protect your peace, and invest in relationships that genuinely appreciate and uplift you.
Anas ibn Malik narrated:
Indeed, the greatness of the reward is with the greatness of the trial. When Allah loves a people, He tests them. Whoever is pleased (with Allah’s decree) will earn His pleasure, and whoever is displeased will earn His displeasure.
Jami’ at-Tirmidhi, 2396
People may try to tarnish your reputation, question your character, and spread lies. But they can never erase the kindness you’ve shown and the good you’ve done. In the end, truth outlives rumours, and your good deeds speak louder than voices trying to bring you down.
Faith is powerful. When you’re able to accept everything that happens to you as part of the Almighty’s plan, you’re on the road to something greater. One day, all the pieces of the puzzle will fit, and you’ll be glad you remained patient until the end.
Have a wonderful weekend❤️
Life is a journey of seasons. Some days you lead, some days you learn. Accept both with gratitude, remain humble in success, patient in hardship, and always remember that the One who changes conditions is Allah. Keep striving, keep believing, and never lose hope in His mercy.
Aisha bint Abi Bakr narrated; The Prophet PBUH said;
“The most beloved deeds to Allah are those that are consistent, even if they are small.”
Sahih al-Bukhari (Hadith 6464); Sahih Muslim (Hadith 783)
Muttafaqun ’Alayh
Never mistake a slow journey for a failed one. Some of the greatest achievements take longer because they are preparing you for responsibilities that arrive with success.
