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.

One thing I’ve always found to be so beautiful about Allaah is the fact that not only can He forgive you, but He wants to forgive you, He would love to forgive you..

I'm praying that everyday my intentions become clearer, and I touch people with more love and consideration rather than negativity. And that's my own journey and work. And I really hope it continues by the will of ٱللَّٰه. Everyday I just want to be a better version of myself, than I was a day before. May ٱللَّٰه make it easy for me and for y'all too -️ 🍃آمیـــــــــــــن

“If you inherently long for something, become it first. If you want gardens, become the gardener. If you want love, embody love. If you want mental stimulation, change the conversation. If you want peace, exude calmness. If you want to fill your world with artists, begin to paint. If you want to be valued, respect your own time. If you want to live ecstatically, find the ecstasy within yourself. This is how to draw it in, day by day, inch by inch.”

Al Quran 35:5

It is a reminder for all of us.

Beauty is within your heart,with its flaws,with its emotions, with its imperfections, and if someone tells you otherwise, then remember Allah's words:

Indeed, we created humans in the best form (95:4)

Ask Allah for the impossible.

Make it a habit to ask Allah - and Allah alone - for your needs. Set aside time for Him and ask for everything you desire. If something seems impossible, then know that nothing is impossible for the One who created the seven heavens and the earth.

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.
