it must be closer, the home beneath my feet

Raahein alaag hojaye to itna bhi kaafi hai ki manzeel ek ho.

Fir sab kuch aasaan ho jayegi, intezaar bhi sabr bhi aur wo har ek pal bhi jo guzaarna mushkil lagta hai.

Aur Jannat se behtar hamare liye koi aur manzeel nahi.

The reality of people, this society and all, they make me feel so frustrated and yet الحمدلله that الله Has Saved me from being one of them. And May الله Keep me, my loved ones, and every believing soul under His Protection.

الله المستعان

Allah - there is no deity except Him. And upon Allah let the believers rely.

‎Ḥasan al-Baṣrī [رحمه الله] used to say:

When people display knowledge while neglecting deeds, voice their love for one another while hating each other in their hearts, and sever the ties of kinship, Allah (the Exalted in praise) curses them, so He deafens them and blinds their vision."

‎The Beacon of Basrah: Etiquette, Wisdom and Asceticism of Hasan al-Basri, P.60 | By Ibnul Jawzī | Dārusunnah Publishers.

Never forget that everything you have is a loan from Allah, including your soul. And your soul will return to him, carrying only your good deeds and your sins. You have a limited amount of time in this life before you return to your Creator my brothers and sisters. Remember death, remember Allah and increase in your good deeds while decreasing in your sins. The sheet that will wrap you for your Janazah may have already reached the market. Take an active role in your life, not a passive one.

Investing my time in things that require a lot of focus, attention, and patience (like willingly painting a detailed piece which I usually tend to avoid).

I've also come to think that after striving for the Hereafter and fulfilling our necessary worldly responsibilities, the best way to spend a break for refreshment isn't to reach for the phone and dive into scrolling. It's far more nourishing to do something that engages you in a healthier way: art, learning something new, reading, little fun research about something, a walk in greenery, talking with friends/family, or simply spending time away from the constant stream of content.

I believe they contribute to one's positive development and leave the heart and mind in a better state than scrolling the time away. Not every form of rest is equally restful after all.

Friend.

Yahya Ibn Mu’adh (rahimahullāh):

A friend is the one who you don’t have to remind to remember you in his supplication (he does it without asking), and who you don’t have to flatter and impress (or ask for help) and that you don’t have to apologize to.

[Manners of The Knowledge Seeker by Shaykh Sa’īd Raslān (hafidhahullah), pg. 46]

Oh yes, it does! Suddenly the memories rise like the smell of earth when it rains. If memories have a scent, then I think it's probably the scent of rain.

It was such a weird semester for me. But الحمدلله He Granted me a good end to this sem. Hopefully the next ones will be much better ان شاء الله

Imam Ibn Kathīr raḥimahullāh said about the Rāfiḍah:

"The minds of these people are twisted and their hearts turned upside down, for where are they in relation to believing in the Qur'ān? They curse those whom Allāh stated He is pleased with!

Allāh, the Most Great, stated that He is pleased foremost with the Muhājirīn, the Anṣār and those who followed their lead with excellence. Therefore, woe to those who dislike or curse them, or dislike or curse any of them,

especially their master after the Messenger ﷺ, the best and most righteous among them, the Ṣiddīq (the great truthful one) and the grand Khalīfah, Abū Bakr bin Abī Quḥāfah, raḍiyallāhu 'anh."

📚 though I tend to be different about some selected ones but yeah, one must eventually learn to keep things between himself and الله. The sooner the better because people often tend to ruin what they are informed of. Most of the world has either envious eyes or they have a lack of understanding about the depth of your interests so they'll mock your passion and your choices except few genuine souls. To have a great sense of safety and protection for life and beloved ones is to hide them, hide them from the touch of the strange world and surrender them only to الله . Concealment of certain things is actually safeguarding.

It's too much and I'm failing now I know . I wish I had died the moment I was born. Only if it was possible.
