There’s A Difference Between Being Hopeless With This World And Being Hopeless With Allah.

“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.”

ربي إنزع من قلبي حب كل شيء لا تحب

My Lord, remove from my heart the love of everything that You do not love.

Blessings arrive with gratitude [to Allāh], and gratitude is connected with more [blessings], and the two are tied together: more blessings from Allāh will never stop unless gratitude from the servant stops.

Ali b. Abi Talib Source: Ibn Abī Al-Dunyā, Al-Shukr article 18.

“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)

Turn back to Allāh and you’ll find true happiness.

Allah will answer your prayers. And when He does, He will answer them in ways you could never even imagine. He will blow you away with the perfection of His plans and will leave you utterly speechless in the way He allows things to fall perfectly into place.

I’ve never seen a day where GOD didn’t come through for me.

Ya Allaah guard me against the evil of myself. Forgive me for all my sins, big and small, hidden and evident. Protect me, guide me, strengthen my Imaan and bless me with the right knowledge. Ameen
