Ya Allah,
I ask You not because I deserve it, but because you are the most generous.
Grant me what is good for my dunya, bless me with what brings me closer to You, and place barakah in everything. You decree for me.
Ameen.
The scariest part of life isn’t change. It’s how fast Allah can flip everything. One night you’re drowning in sin, the next morning you’re rushing for Fajr. One month you’re chasing dunya, the next you’re begging Allah for Jannah. One year you feel unseen, the next you’re surrounded by barakah you never imagined. Life doesn’t move slow.
Allah can turn your entire story with a single dua.
Dua For Healing & Illness
“Allahumma rabban-nas, adhhibil-ba’s, washfi antash-shafi, la shifa’a illa shifa’uk, shifa’an la yughadiru saqama”
(O Allah, Lord of mankind, remove the harm and heal. You are the Healer. There is no healing except Your healing, a healing that leaves no illness)
— Bukhari & Muslim
Forgotten Sunnah: Wake up at Night, Recite this Dhikr and seek Forgiveness:
Narrated ‘Ubada bin As-Samit: The Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam-said:
“Whoever gets up at night and says:
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَه،ُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْد،ُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ،وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
‘There is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah Alone, He has no partners, He has the Dominion and for Him is all praise, and He is capable of all things, praise is for Him, and Far is Allaah from imperfection, and There is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah, and Allaah is the Greatest, there is no capability nor is there any power except with Allaah.
La ilaha ‘illa Allaahu wahdahu la shareeka lahu, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa ala kulli shayin qadeer Subhana allaahi, wal hamdu lillaahi, wa la illaah ila Allaah, wa Allaahu akbar, La hawla wa la quwwata illa billaa
Then he says :
اللهمَ اغْفِرْلي
O Allaah forgive me (Allaahumma aghfirlee), or he supplicates and his supplication is answered, and if he makes Wudu and prays then his prayer is accepted.
[Sahih Bukhari Volume 2, Book 21, Number 253 : Prayer at Night (Tahajjud)]
The biggest loss in this dunya is when the dunya itself makes us forget why we are here. We chase what is temporary and slowly lose sight of what is eternal. Allah reminds us not to be deceived by the life of this world, for it is only a fleeting enjoyment.
“Know that the life of this world is but amusement and diversion and adornment and boasting…” (Qur’an 57:20). A believer stays awake in heart even while living in the dunya, always remembering the akhirah.
The Prophet ﷺ was deeply sensitive. He felt for others, he cried, he cared. You’re not “too sensitive” u’re just still human in a world that rewards numbness. Guard the softness of ur heart & the empathy of ur soul with everything u have
Sensitivity is not weakness. It’s sunnah.
Allah gave us two tools for when life becomes too heavy. Sabr (patience) and salah (prayer). The ayah then tells us honestly that they are heavy, except for those with khushoo (focus and humility). If your salah feels like a burden right now, do not despair of Allah's mercy. It is a sign of where the heart is. Begin again, even if the steps are small.
