Ya Allah forgive me for every time I became impatient, saddened and displeased with your qadr

Quick reminder, especially for you younger undergrads: Discipline is a skill, not a character trait. And just like any skill, it can be practiced and improved upon incrementally. Try not to get discouraged if you have a day, or multiple days, where you are less disciplined than you would like or need to be. Don’t quit. Don’t spend the next week binging Netflix because you think it’s a hopeless endeavour. Just get up the next day and try again. Each day you try is more practice, and each day you practice, you’ll get a little bit better, and that continual improvement will pay dividends in the long run.

Keep at it.

I’m not a student anymore but I definitely needed to read this

[islamic-art-and-quotes]

“Be very wary of the consequences of sins, and be very hasty in seeking to erase them by returning to God, because sins have evil and ugly consequences, whether they come quickly, or whether they accumulate and befall you all at once.”

i wish there wasn’t such a stigma around being proved wrong, bc it’s a part of life, no one can be right all the time. if we didn’t feel as much shame about it i think a lot of things would change a lot faster

[feminismandhappiness]

we all need to practice saying “I hadn’t thought of it like that” “I hadn’t seen it that way before” “I must have misunderstood the first time I heard about it” “if I had known those facts I wouldn’t have thought like I did”

[unvainly]

people have to realize that

some people are just more sensitive

some people don’t think the same way

some have different reasons in doing things

it’s not all about you

[tasbih-wa-istighfar]

سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ: عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ، وَرِضَا نَفْسِهِ، وَزِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ وَمِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ

Glory is to Allah and praise is to Him, by the multitude of His creation, by His Pleasure, by the weight of His Throne, and by the extent of His Words.

[derakhtesokoot]

“Blessings have degrees, so do not hasten towards a fruit that it is not ripe yet because it has its own time. He Who manages your affairs is more aware of the time that is good for you. Trust in His wisdom in your affairs and do not hurry for your needs before your time, for your heart may become distressed and despair may overcome you.”

— Imam Hasan al-Askari (a), Nuzhat an-Nadhir, p.50-51. (via rose—water)
