“We are all a people in need. We are not perfect. We are not machines. We make mistakes. We need grace. We need compassion. We need help at times. We need other people. And that’s okay.”
— Jamie Tworkowski
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.

• "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 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)
اللهُمَّ إنا نسألُك الهدوء وسط اشتعال الشّعور ، والفتح عند انسداد السُّبل ، والطُّمأنينة حين ارتجاف القلوب ، والتّرتيب وسط بعثرة الشّتات ، وارزقنا بصيرة من يرى بهُداك ، ويسير برحمتك ، وثبات من لا تغلبه شدّة ، ولا يكسره ابتلاء
Ya Allah, we ask You for calmness amidst the turmoil of emotions, for clarity when paths are blocked, for peace when hearts tremble, for order in the midst of chaos, and grant us insight to see with Your guidance and to walk in Your mercy. Bestow upon us steadfastness that is not overcome by adversity nor broken by trials."
I don’t know who needs to hear this right now, but your progress is not ruined after 1 bad day, 2 bad days, maybe even a month or more of bad days. Everything you experienced and learned during that time is valuable and essential for your growth. Forgive yourself, and try again.
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)
“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.”
