Don’t always expect things to go your way. They won’t. If the Almighty delays what you’ve asked for or decides not to give it, it’s one of the biggest tests of your faith and patience. Don’t lose the plot. Stay firm.
O Allāh, strengthen my weakness, keep my heart firm, and protect me from the sin I repent from yet continue to return to.
O Allāh, make my repentance sincere, never followed by a relapse.
We’re not perfect. We sin, we falter and make mistakes but we do our best trying to please You. Almighty. We ask You to accept the deeds we do solely for Your sake. Forgive our shortcomings. We will never lose hope in Your Mercy. Aameen.
You don’t have to go it alone. The Almighty is always there in both good and bad times. You’ll never have to face anything on your own as long as you call out to Him. He’s there waiting for you to turn back to Him. Don’t delay.
The men who are hardest to break all have the same background:
- They were underestimated early
- They spent long stretches completely alone
- They learned to trust themselves because nobody else showed up
- They failed publicly more than once
- They kept going when the evidence said stop
- They stopped explaining themselves a long time ago
Let them think what they want about you. Let them say what they want about you. Let them do what they want against you. Let them plan your downfall. Nothing happens except what the Almighty has decreed. In the end, victory will be yours.
