Best advice I've ever heard is; "Allah swt gave people different types of gifts. Some people are good at waking up for Tahajjud, some are good at charity/ helping others, some are good at memorising, etc. We gotta be thankful by doing it to the best of our abilities.”

They can bomb all they want. They can destroy all they want. They think they are the sustainers … They forget that the Almighty is the Only Sustainer. Surely He provides for whoever He wills without limit.
‘How can a believer not shed tears at the departure of Ramaḍān, when he doesn’t even know whether he’ll be alive for its return or not?’ - Ibn Rajab رحمه الله
