The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
”Whoever continuously seeks Allah's forgiveness, Allah will make a way out for him from every hardship, from every anxiety, and will provide him with sustenance from where he does not expect.”
-[Sunan Abu Dawud-1518]
استغفرالله واتوب إليه
Allah is Al-Jabbar, which means He has the power to fix anything that is broken. No matter how shattered you may feel due to life's challenges, have faith that Al-Jabbar can help you put yourself back together. Trust in Him to restore you, even when it seems impossible.
If you live through life without the regular nawaafil prayers...
without witr, without dhuha, without reciting even a portion of the Qur’an daily, without morning and evening adhkār…
without seeking knowledge, voluntary fasting, voluntary sadaqah (charity), or any deeds that earns you the love of Allah...
then don’t be surprised if you lose happiness and peace in this life, and don’t be surprised if you stand empty-handed in the akhirah.
Allah rises people through different doors:
One through the gate of fasting, another through salah, another through charity, another through maintaining family ties, and another through striving in Allah’s cause.
The voluntary acts of worship build your rank in this world, in the loneliness of the grave, and in jannah.
Hold firmly to these acts. They are your stored treasures for this world and the hereafter.

Never doubt what Allah has planned for you. One of His name is Al-Hakeem: The One who is correct in His doings. He knows what is best for you. And if what He has planned for you becomes clear, you would choose the same which He has chosen for you. So Relax & let Allah bless you.
Abu Dharr narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said : "Your smiling in the face of your brother is charity, commanding good and forbidding evil is charity, your giving directions to a man lost in the land is charity for you. Your seeing ...👇

We learn from one hadith of our noble Prophet ﷺ
Allāh will help His servant so long as His servant helps his brother.
Whoever relieves a Muslim of some worldly distress, Allāh will relieve him of some of the distress of the Day of Resurrection.
Whoever conceals (the faults of) a Muslim, Allāh will conceal him (his faults) in this world and the Day of Resurrection.
Whoever relives the burden from a destitute person, Allāh will relieve him in this world and the next.
Imam Shafi'i رحمه الله said:
"You will never be able to please everyone, rather rectify what is between you and Allah and do not care about the people."
[Tawaali at Tanees | ibn Hajar | 168]
Umar ibn al-Khattab رضي الله عنه said:
"Never say a person has good character, until you see how he behaves when he is angry & never say a person is righteous until you see how he controls himself when he is faced with temptations."
[Ansab Al-Ashraaf | 10/331]
ʿUmar bin al Khaṭṭāb رضي الله عنه said:
"If your brother mentions something to you in private, then walks away, it is an amaanah (trust) even if he didn't instruct you notto inform anyone."
[Ibn Muflih's Adaab Ash-Sharee'ah]
I envy this brother always. He left nothing but good footprints. Allah took him away before he became corrupt. He protected him from the mess that we are dealing with. May Allah continue to shower His blessings on him and forgive our sins. Āmīn.
