You And Only You Can Transform Your Reality. Transforming Your Reality Comes From Within. It Starts With

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.

The older i get the more i realize

Friendship is not something that is common. Genuine Friendship is rare 

Your mother should be appreciated 

Everybody wants something and never ask themselves what they bring to the table

The energy you give the world is the energy you receive

Time alone is not a bad thing

Love is a gift and is not something you can demand or force

Being comfortable should be your main priority

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.

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”.

The Power of Sabr

• "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)

FOR OUR SISTERS WHO ENCOUNTER TRIALS AND DIFFICULTIES – BY OUR NOBLE FATHER AND ESTEEMED SHAYKH SAALIH AL FAWZAAN

Trials and tribulations come to each and every one of us with both a purpose and a reward. A mighty reward awaits the believer who continues to strive upon obedience and the one who exercises patience during times of difficulty. Patience is an ingredient we all need in life. Without patience, we are nothing, we will lose the battle against shaytaan – he will defeat us, we will lose ourselves, we will lose our religion.

Ibn Qayyim once mentioned that indeed every single soul shall be tested in this life. Prepare my noble sisters, indeed in this life we shall all be tested. May Allaah grant us strength, patience, and firmness. May Allaah make us from those who return to Allaah in humility and submissiveness. May Allaah make us from the obedient servants.

Supplicating to Allaah during Trials:

Abundant supplication to Allaah is from the causes of success at times of trials, in order for Allaah to protect us from such tests. The Messenger said:

“Seek refuge in Allaah from trials whether apparent or hidden.” [Saheeh Muslim] The Prophet in the last tashahhud would seek refuge from four things and he ordered us to do similarly. 

He said: “Seek refuge in Allaah form four: punishment of the hell fire; punishment of the grave; the trials of life and death; and from the trials of the Anti-Christ (Dajjaal).” [Saheeh Muslim]

The Muslim should increase therefore, in calling upon Allaah to protect himself from evil of known and unknown trials. He should beg Allaah, for He is close to us (in responding)and answering our prayers. Whoever turns to Allaah and seeks His protection, is protected by Him. Whoever calls upon Him, He answers. He descends every night to the lowest heaven and says: “Is there anyone asking from Me that I may give him his need? Is there one calling upon Me that I may answer him? Is there anyone seeking forgiveness from Me that I may forgive him?” [Bukhaaree & Muslim]

Allaah has opened His door to those in need, night and day, but this is an additional time and opportunity Allaah designates, as a Mercy for them. A Muslim should call upon Allaah at all times, yet especially during the best times, such as in prostration (sujood), The Prophet said: “Increase supplication in prostration for it is most likely that your supplication will be answered.” [Saheeh Muslim]

The Prophet said: “The servant is closest to Allaah when he is prostrating, so supplicate much therein.” [Saheeh Muslim & Saheeh Sunan Abee Daawood]

Other examples of the most superior times to supplicate are: in the last third of the night, the last hour on friday (before the maghrib prayer), and the last part of each prayer. One should beg Allaah and not be heedless from supplicating, especially in asking Allaah for protection from trials, once a person is protected, he will be safe from all evil. If a person is safe from trials, consequently, his religion is safe and thus his state at the point of death will also be safe.
