The human cannot control his own heartbeat; rather it is controlled by Allah, the Creator of everything. This shows that we are weak and always in need of our Creator, Allah. So rely on Allah alone, and seek His support in times of difficulty and distress. Refer all of your matters to Allah, and remember: it is through your obedience to Him that you will acquire the good that you seek.
• "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)
From Hadith Qudsi:
Allah the Almighty said: I am as My servant thinks I am (1). I am with him when he makes mention of Me. If he makes mention of Me to himself, I make mention of him to Myself; and if he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make mention of him in an assembly better than it. And if he draws near to Me an arm’s length, I draw near to him a cubit, and if he draws near to Me a cubit, I draw near to him a fathom. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at speed. [Hadith Qudsi 15]
The law of attraction is so real. I swear, once you establish yourself as powerful, or strong, or independent, or business minded, people like you will flock your way out of nowhere. And it’s just the universe reminding you that when you can see something beautiful in yourself, others can see it and admire it as well.
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.
You and only you can transform your reality. Transforming your reality comes from within. It starts with your energy and belief system, it starts with your self concept. Your inner world determines the quality of your outer reality. So pay attention to your dominant thinking patterns, pay attention to your energy.
When you harmonize your inner world, you get a matching shift in your three dimensional reality. When you harmonize your inner world, you get a magical reality. You can have anything you want in life. You can create the most magical reality for yourself. But in order to do this, you need to embody your dream life on the inside.
“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.”
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”.
I CRIED JUST HEARING THESE WORDS…
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
