How Can I Forget Allāh When He Was The One To Help Me In A Desperate Moment. A Moment Nobody Else Was

Just pray to be married to someone that respects you, your feelings, your dislikes, your insecurities and discomfort, and your goals.

It’s one thing to love someone the way you want to love them and another to love someone the way they need to be loved.

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]

Surah Ad Duha is one of the most beautiful surah there is. It teaches us that Allah has not left us alone. He is always there, watching over us, and soon He will give. “And your Lord is going to give to you, and you will be satisfied” Qur'an [93:5]

“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.”

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 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.

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]

“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.”
