Keep it Simple

[ramiroo19-deactivated20200102]

Remember emaan is not constant and it’s something that changes. It’s a test from Allah to see if you’ll be able to get back on to things once you have fallen off. The trick is to not let it get to you, just take things as they come. Ease your heart. Know that what is to come is better than what has gone by. Take longer in sujood, let that connection with Allah really sink in. Make constant dua, I promise it will help.

I have never regretted my silence. As for my speech, i have regretted it over and over again.

Umar Ibn al-Khattâb [رضي الله عنه] (via abuhirr)

[imaan-sabr]

Just ask for forgiveness. Just do it. You may feel your sins are too much. You may feel they will never be forgiven. But the door to repentance is always open and God is the All-Forgiving. He is the All-Merciful. You have much less mercy on yourself than He does. He loves you. He created you. Raise your hands in dua'a for forgiveness and mercy. Let your head touch the floor in sujood, the closest you are to God, and ask for forgiveness and His mercy. And keep doing it. Every prayer, ask.

There are two roads:

Which one are you taking?

“Remember me and I will remember you…” [Qur'ān 2:152]

“..They forgot Allāh, so He forgot them..” [Qur'ān 9:67]

[islamic-art-and-quotes]

When I pretend to be strong, no one sees my hidden tears except Allah. When I’m sad and need a shoulder to cry on, no one supports me but Allah. Pleasing a human is very difficult, pleasing Allah is the easiest. People sometimes punish me for mistakes I have not done, Allah ignores and excuses the ones that I did. This is Allah, The Greatest, The Most Almighty, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful, and all praise belongs to Him.

“Don’t assume bad of Allāh, for by Allāh, if you obey Him and love Him, He will make for you a source of relief and a way out, and if you are alone, within your family and society, then Allāh will accompany you in your loneliness. And He will strengthen your heart, and make it firm with His guidance.”

— Shaykh Muḥammad al-Mukhtār ash-Shinqītī

The beauty of Taraweeh is that we get to stand in front of our Creator and just be there with Him. The One that knows us more than we know ourselves. The One that hears the inner most thoughts and feelings of our hearts. The One that understands our pain without us uttering a single word. The one that knows why we cry and the One that has the power to ease all of our stressors and difficulties. Knowing all that, is the one of the most reassuring and beautiful things to come out of Ramadan. So when we stand and prostrate and kneel and place our heads on the carpet, the tears come.

I feel like women more than men, cry as a form of release. It’s not easy being a wife sometimes. It’s not easy being a mother or a sister. It’s not easy being a daughter in law. We all go through life, playing our roles, figuring things out along the way. We try our best to be the best and to be patient with whatever life throws at us. But sometimes, it’s a lot. Sometimes you can’t even talk about what you really feel. What really hurts and why. Sometimes you can feel really isolated and alone. Sometimes you can get stuck and lost in that feeling.

To anyone who is having a tough time this Ramadan: It’s ok…

And if a person were given all of the world and what is in it, it would not fill his emptiness.

Imām Ibn Qayyim AI-Jawziyyah ‎(رحمه الله)

[al-qubrusiyyah-deactivated20170]

Isn’t the fact that you’re still breathing despite all your sins enough as a reason to have hope in the Mercy of Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala)?

[zezeinwonderland]

Praise be to Allah Who lies inside all hidden things, and towards Whom all open things guide. He cannot be seen by the eye of an onlooker, but the eye which does not see Him cannot deny Him while the mind that proves His existence cannot perceive Him. He is so high in sublimity that nothing can be more sublime than He, while in nearness, He is so near that no one can be nearer than He. But his sublimity does not put Him at a distance from anything of His creation, nor does His nearness bring them on equal level to Him. He has not informed (human) wit about the limits of His qualities. Nevertheless, He has not prevented it from securing essential knowledge of Him. So he is such that all signs of existence stand witness for Him till the denying mind also believes in Him. Allah is sublime beyond what is described by those who liken Him to things or those who deny Him.

Imam Ali (as)

Nahjul Balagha, Sermon 49

As you get into bed, put your head on your soft pillow and pull your blanket over you and look at the ceiling that protects you, please take a few moments and remember the children of Syria, Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Pakistan, Burma and all other places where there is suffering. These children use the dirt as their beds, rocks as their pillows and the night sky as their blankets with no protection above them. It takes a single breath to make dua for these children. Ya Allāh ﷻ forgive us for being ungrateful.

This dunya does not care about you. No matter how much you believe the world is for you, it is always against you. If you died today, the world continues without you tomorrow. The world does not wait for the ‘sad’ people to feel better. It moves on anyway. The world does not wait for the ‘sick’ people to heal. It continues on regardless. The world does not pause to mourn for the death of anyone. It goes on with or without you. The world is not for you. The more you believe the world is yours, the more you will be given reasons to be proven otherwise. Live life with the acceptance that you are here for a temporary amount of time, with a purpose that needs to be fulfilled with patience and trust. With that mindset, what ever ‘calamity’ hits you will be dealt with easily, whereas living with the mindset that the world is a place of fun - you will be crushed over and over again.
