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
You can sit there and dream about your desired life all you want… but until you decide to step into that role and act like the person who already has everything you want, you will be stuck just dreaming. Take action towards your goals. Do something everyday that will get you closer to where you want to be. Soon enough, you will be where you always desired to be. It just takes a little time, focus, and persistence. It is possible if you act like it is.
In الله I trust
And if my tired soul stands to battle life with all it’s courage, and life knocks out every atom of strength within me, my faith in God will pull me back up. It will act as my armour. My hope in Him will shine through every wound, enlighten my view and cure my misery. Because this heart is soaked in love for its Creator, every crack in it is stitched together with patience for His qadr and trust in what He has written. There is wisdom in all that I experience and His resolution will never leave me disappointed.
Imagine being married to a MAN who asks GOD to help him LOVE you CORRECTLY.
Qasim Rafique
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.
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.
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.
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.

Tarbiyah.
Meaning the purification of the heart through pains and trials. You and I are not nearly as tested as the prophets. Have you been eaten up by a Whale, being swallowed and pulled under the water thinking that these are your last breaths? That is the trial of Yunus (Jonah), who only had Allah to rely on so he turned to Allah and cited [what is now known as the Dua of Yunus]:
“There is none worthy of worship but You, glory is to You. Surely, I was among the wrongdoers.”
The higher we seek to aspire in the spiritual stations of Allah, the harder the tests. The ones tested the hardest are the Prophets, because they have the highest spiritual station. Trials and tribulations take us to a higher station. Every single time I’ve gone through a major trial in life, I’ve come out a more knowledgeable, intelligent and humble person as a result.
Abdullāh Ibn al-Mubārak, رحمه الله, said:
"I love the pious people even though I'm not one of them, and I hate the evil people even though I may be worse than them."
(Siyār A'lam An-Nubalā Volume, #8]
My dear relax and let go of everything for a while all the stress and tension release it for a while, look around and appreciate your blessings.Don't make a wall of grief in your heart. Trials are hard, and sabr is more hard to observe but with Allah's mercy we go through. Make a mindset that whatever is happening is just because Allah wants to and whatever will happen is Just because Allah wants to As his plans are best and he will never let you go empty handed. Maybe you are wishing for a rose but Allah has planned a garden of beautiful flowers for you, maybe you are wishing for a drop yet Allah wants to give an ocean for you. Your Tawakkul should be so strong that fears should never make a space in your head. We don't know what Allah is doing, today we think why is He doing. One day i guarantee you will look back and realise why it was necessary and will thank Allah for all the trials.We can just keep patience and reliance on him and as we go in this journey we can only make dua. Allah has given us ability to make dua, to talk with him. Creator of you, me,our earth, the heaven. Creator of everything. And he has given us the ability to talk with him. So to release the heaviness of your heart talk to him, tell him everything you have inside your heart. He is listening and he will surely grant you relief.
