Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:
“As long as you are performing prayer, you are knocking at the door of Allāh, and whoever is knocking at the door of Allāh, Allāh will open it for him.”
[al-Fawā’id | Pg. 248]
there's a different kind of peace in knowing your money came through a clean door. maybe it isn't as much as you'd like. maybe the halal route takes longer. but provision isn't only about the amount, where it came from matters too.
It is for Allah what He takes, and for Allah what He gives. Nothing is taken before its appointed time, nor given beyond it.
There is a time appointed for everything Allah gives and takes. When that time comes, there is no delaying it. So be patient, & seek the reward of Allah.
Delay is not denial.
Just because Allah hasn't answered your prayer yet doesn't mean He isn't listening. Some blessings need time, some hearts need preparation, and some doors open only at the right moment. Keep trusting His timing, because Allah never delays without a reason.
Kun faya kun, Just when you think it’s over, Allah sends a miracle. Don't give up on your dua, Trust Allah. Dua can change Qadr. Believe your Du'a will be answered, Remember if Allah guided you to make a Dua it's because He wants to answer it.
May Allah give you the kind of peace that makes you stop worrying about things you cannot control. May He teach your heart to trust His timing, accept His decree, and believe that what He chooses for you will always carry wisdom even when you cannot see it immediately.
I'm so in love with this quote :
"Don't be anxious about tomorrow. If Allah took care of you today, surely Allah will take care of you tomorrow. Trust Allah, do your best, and leave the rest to Allah."
Before you sleep, ask Allah to remove any form of delay in your life. Marital, career or academics. may Allah remove it.. Kun faya kun. Remember when Allah intends some work to be done. He just say Kun (Be) and It is done already. Never stop believing in miracles
Ya Allah, You are Al-Fattah, the Opener of every door. Open for me the doors I have been standing before with tired eyes and a broken heart. Open doors of rizq, peace, healing, forgiveness, and happiness that I could never open by myself. Ya Ar-Razzaq, provide for me from places I never expected. Remove the fear of tomorrow from my heart and teach me to trust that what You have written for me cannot pass me by. Ya Al-Jabbar, repair what life has shattered inside me.
In the chaos of my era, I chose peace through tawakkul. I placed my heart, my struggles, and my dreams in the hands of Allah-because I know that His plans are always better than mine. In a world of uncertainty, I seek certainty in Him. Tawakkul isn't weakness, it's strength. It's walking blindfolded with full faith that Allah is guiding your every step.
Don't be so hard on yourself for making a genuine mistake. Remember, ALLAH had already planned it that way for you to learn from what went wrong.
The lesson was necessary. it's part of His Plan for you. Correct it and try your best not to make the same mistake again.
Time always shows you why certain things weren’t right for you. Sometimes, Allah sees the things you cannot see, hears the things you cannot hear, and knows the things you do not know and cannot even comprehend!
“And whosoever fears Allah…He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine.”
— Al Qur’aan [65:2-3]
GOODNESS IS FOUND ONLY IN THE DECREE OF ALLAH, WHETHER IT'S IN YOUR FAVOR OR AGAINST YOU.
Know that whatever happens, it's for khair in your life, no matter how painful it may seem now. Sabr and shukr in all conditions!
Arrogance blinds us to the truth and makes us forget our place in this world.
Allah warns us about it in the Quran:Do not turn your face away in pride,nor walk arrogantly on the earth.Allah does not like those who are arrogant (Quran 31:18).
May Allah protect us from arrogance
Push your soul towards Allah until your soul pushes you.Drag your feet to the prayer mat until your heart drags you.Force yourself to make dua until your tears forces you.
We become easily addicted to our habits,what greater joy than to be addicted to the One Who Created you?
