Don’t allow for your thoughts to confine you, for they are often based on your own perspective. The actual reality of it all is much more vast and beautiful than we can often recognize.

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)
Oh Allah keep my mother happy. Give her relief from all her ailments, giver her energy, give her peace of mind. Oh Allah, protect my mother from anyone who does not respect her. Protect her from any harm, whether it be emotional, mental, physical or spiritual. Oh Allah, cover my mother with mercy the way she has covered me with mercy- Allah, forgive my mother the way she has forgiven others. Oh Allah, give my mother jannah. Elevate her status and reward her for the way she has looked after me, the way she has looked after all others before herself.
O Allah, grant us humility and cleanse our hearts of pride so that we may turn to Your mercy with sincerity.
• "Indeed, Allah is with the patient." (Qur'an 2:153)
• "And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient." (Qur'an 2:155)
• "So be patient. Indeed, the promise of Allah is truth." (Qur'an 30:60)
• "And seek help through patience and prayer, and indeed, it is difficult except for the humbly submissive [to Allah]." (Qur'an 2:45)
• "And We made from among them leaders guiding by Our command when they were patient and [when] they were certain of Our signs." (Qur'an 32:24)
Patience is a gift we give ourselves in both joy and sorrow. Happiness fades, and sadness does too, reminding us that life is full of change. Only Allah is constant—"The Eternal, The Everlasting." When we trust in His plan, it becomes easier to navigate life’s ups and downs. Allah promises, “With hardship comes ease” (Qur'an 94:6). Though we may not always understand the wisdom behind our struggles, we can rest in the belief that Allah knows what’s best. Trust Him, for He will never burden you beyond your capacity. This moment will pass, and hope will return, inshaAllah.🕊
Knowing the difference between who to cut off and who to be patient with is everything.
“Those who Spend in Charity will be richly Rewarded”

We have those who will love us even if we cut them into pieces, and those who will hate us even if we feed them with pure honey.
- Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib
Recognize when things no longer serve a purpose and begin to harm you. You let it go not because of arrogance or pride but because it doesn't fit into your life anymore. So close the chapter, learn the lessons and shake off the dust. Don’t waste your life. Move on.
