In الله I Trust

people will really be bothered from you for being soft, and living life at ease. i’m sorry, i don’t run on chaos, cortisol, and victim mentality. i show up for myself. i put in the work. i’m kind because it keeps my spirit light, not for applause. you should try it, and you’ll feel less triggered from others living with calmness and appreciation.

Oh Allah, don’t let me ever turn away from You, no matter how many trials and difficulties You test me with. Let these difficulties serve to make me a stronger Muslim and more sincere to You.

Work hard so that one day your idols become your rivals 💯

There is an ayah in the Qur'an where Allah promises us that if we thank Him then He will surely grant us more. And subhanallah, it’s not just to do with wealth. It’s to do with everything. If Allah has guided you, thank Him. He will keep you steadfast. If He teaches you something new regarding the deen, thank Him and He will increase you in knowledge. If happiness surrounds you, then thank Him. He will give you even more things to be happy about. Just a few moments of pondering over the bounties of Allah can increase our Imaan.

“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)

“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.”

4 promises from Allah:

“So remember me, I will remember you.” (2:152)

“If you are grateful, I will surely increase you.” (14:7)

“Call upon me and I will respond to you.” (40:60)

“Allah will not punish them while they seek forgiveness.” (8:33)

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.
