Let me be patient, let me be kind. Make me unselfish, without being blind.
Remember Allāh ﷻ in your moments of happiness and Sadness.
how can I forget Allāh when He was the one to help me in a desperate moment. a moment nobody else was a part of except me and Him. It was only Him, nobody else. In a desperate moment of need, I called upon Him and He responded. He gave me what I was In need of. He gave me tranquility. you only have to ask and He gives and gives and gives much more than you could ever ask for. sometimes you don’t even need to ask and He still gives. that is the nature of God.

progress takes time. consistency is key. commit every single day to your goals and over time you will see results. you may not see it right away, but you’ll look back in a couple of months and be able to tell just how far you’ve come. you’ll think to yourself “i’m so glad i just started and stayed with it.” stay motivated for your future self. it’s worth it.
Luqmān (rahimahullah) was asked how he achieved wisdom?
he said:
• Truthful speech
• Fulfilling trust and
• Leaving what does not concern me
[Muwatta of al-Malik (rahimahullah), 1859]
“I think we all crave for company. Birds fly together in flocks, wolves hunt together in packs, sheep moves together in herds, and the stars shine together in constellations. I think we’re at our fullest with life and feel the most alive when we have someone to experience and share it with together.”

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.
Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:
Whoever
1) Gives for the sake of Allah,
2) Withholds for the sake of Allah,
3) Loves for the sake of Allah,
4) Hates for the sake of Allah, and
5) Marries for the sake of Allah,
he has indeed perfected his faith.
- (Sunan Tirmidhi Vol #4, Hadith #2521)
اللهم إني اسألك أن تستر علي، وتُهذِّب قلبي، وتؤدّب طَبعَي، وتحسّن خُلُقي، وتضبط سلوكي، واسألك أن تشغلني بغاياتٍ تليقُ بدربك، وترزقني حكمة القول، وفَنّ الصّمت، وبلاغة الرَّدّ، وجَلال الحُضور، وجمال الغياب.
Ya Allah, I ask You to cover me, to refine my heart, to discipline my nature, to improve my character, to regulate my behavior, and I ask You to occupy me with goals that are worthy of Your path, to bless me with wisdom in speech, the art of silence, eloquence in response, majesty in presence, and grace in absence.
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.
