A beautiful piece of advice with a powerful illustration to go with it. Have a good long think about this one:
“The greater the distance between Allāh and the spouses the greater the distance between the spouses themselves..and the closer you are to Allāh, the closer you will be to your spouse”.
“If you loved her for her beauty, you’ll find who’s more beautiful than her someday. But if you loved her for her heart, you will love her even more day by day.”
Friendship is not something that is common. Genuine Friendship is rare
Your mother should be appreciated
Everybody wants something and never ask themselves what they bring to the table
The energy you give the world is the energy you receive
Time alone is not a bad thing
Love is a gift and is not something you can demand or force
Being comfortable should be your main priority
“The only way to stop any pain in your life is to accept the fact that nothing is yours, nothing was yours, and nothing will ever be yours. They are worldly attachments given by Allāh, belonging to Allāh, and will be returned to Allāh.”
“وَمَا لِيَ لَا أَعْبُدُ الَّذِي فَطَرَنِي وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ And what reason have I that I should not serve Him Who brought me into existence? And to Him you shall be brought back;”
— Surah Yaseen, Ayat 22 (via ibtasem)
Your new life will cost you your old one. Release with no resistance. This is the price of ascension.
A beautiful life does not just happen it is built daily by prayer, humility, sacrifice and hard work.
