If I die right now, while still in the state of Islam and īmān, I would want every Muslim who hears of my death to first thank Allah on my behalf that I died as a Muslim. Before celebrating my achievements, recounting my good deeds, mourning what I left behind, or speaking about anything else, let there be gratitude to Allah that He preserved my faith until my final moment.
This is the understanding of a Muslim. We know that wealth, status, scholarship, family, influence and accomplishments all end with this world. But to meet Allah upon tawḥīd and submission to Him is the ending every believer hopes and prays for.
So, if I die as a Muslim, grieve for me because you love me, pray for me because I will need your prayers, forgive my shortcomings, but above all, thank Allah that I died believing in Him.
O Allah, keep us alive upon Islam, cause us to die upon faith, and grant us a beautiful ending. Āmīn.
Heal me on the Day of Arafah, Ya Allah. Heal me so deeply that even my memories stop hurting. Replace the tears in my eyes with light in my heart. Make me forget the words that wounded me and remember only that You are enough for me.
The Evil eye is real. Not everyone is truly happy seeing your happiness. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said it’s worse than black magic! As it could kill a person.
Here’s how to recognize the signs and protect yourself
رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ
and
يَا رَبِّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كَمَا يَنْبَغِي لِجَلَالِ وَجْهِكَ
وَلِعَظِيمِ سُلْطَانِكَ
Don't let a day go by without saying this at least once. It takes 5 seconds, but the reward is stored directly with the Creator for the Day of Judgment.

Ya Allah let us reach lailatul Qadr🤲
Ya Allah, it’s me again. I come to You with nothing but my exhaustion and this heavy, silent ache in my chest. Ya Rahman, You are the Most Merciful, and You see the tears I don't even have the energy to cry anymore. It has been such a long, long road.
I’ve been knocking on this same door for so many years, asking for this one miracle, and I know You hear me. I know You haven't turned me away because You are the one who keeps giving me the strength to keep asking. But Ya Allah, I am so tired. My heart feels heavy and hardened by the waiting, and I feel like my patience is finally running thin.
Ya Rabb, I am at my limit, but Your mercy has no limits.
Please, Ya Allah, bring the miracle to my doorstep. Soften my heart where it has grown hard from the struggle. If I am losing my way, pull me back to You. If my spirit is breaking, mend it with Your grace. You told us that after hardship comes ease, and I am so ready for that ease.
Ya Allah, You know what is in my heart better than I can ever explain. You know the "why" and the "when" and the "how." Please don't let me leave this world without seeing the beauty of the answer I’ve been praying for. Comfort me in this waiting period, and let the breakthrough be closer than I can imagine.
