[hersparklingqalb]

may our graves be more comfortable than our beds

[deenemaan]

And be not like those who forgot Allāh,so He made them forget themselves. Those are the defiantly disobedient.

Surah Al Hashr Ayah 18-19

[fluffy-appa]

لا تظن أن نفسك هي التي ساقتك إلى فعل الخيرات، بل أنت عبد أحبك الله فألهمك فعل الخيرات، فلا تفرط في هذه المحبة فينساك

Do not think that it was your own self that led you to doing good deeds. Rather, you are a servant whom Allah loved, so He inspired you to do good deeds. Therefore, do not be negligent with this love, lest He abandon you.

[aysufs]

Ibn al-Jawzi رحمه اللّه said:

Do not let the final part of Ramadan be less than its beginning,

for actions are judged by their endings.

[Sayd al-Khatir, p. 466]

[anaseshaafi]

"سعيد من لا يحمل في قلبه ضغينة أو شحناء، من كف لسانه عن إغتياب الناس، من رأى السيئة فكتمها ورأى الحسنة فامتدحها، من انشغل بذاته عن تتبع حياة الآخرين سعيد من طهّر قلبه من الظنون الخاطئة ووصل لمنزلة يتمنى فيها الخير لغيره كما يتمناه لنفسه".

"Happy is the one who holds no grudges or hatred in his heart, who restrains his tongue from backbiting, who conceals faults and praises goodness, who focuses on himself rather than tracking others’ lives. Happy is the one who purifies his heart from false assumptions and reaches a state where he wishes good for others as he wishes it for himself."

[aysufs]

Ibn al Jawzi رحمه الله mentioned,

“When you sit in the darkness before the King, the All-Knowing,

then take on the manners of children.

For indeed, when a child asks for something and is not given it,

he cries until he gets it.”

[Kitāb al-Mudhish, p. 219]

[aysufs]

Umar ibn al-Khattab رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ said,

goodness is not found in what I love or in what I detest.

It is found in whatever Allah decrees.

[Ibn Abi al-dunyā, al-faraj | 36]

[ilmanafiyah]

If you expect certain qualities in a future spouse, you must actively work on embodying them yourself. This includes consistency in worship, respect for boundaries, emotional restraint, accountability, and gheerah over one’s own faith and conduct. Wanting a partner who is disciplined while being careless yourself is self-deception. Marriage does not reform habits, heal negligence, or create values; it magnifies what already exists. The way you speak, the standards you tolerate, the sins you excuse, and the good you delay all become part of the life you will share with someone else. A righteous home is not built by wishes or timelines, but by personal reform done quietly and sincerely long before marriage enters the picture.

[anaseshaafi]

ألا يكفيك عزاءً أنّ غَمسةً في الجنّة تُزيل عنك كلَّ مُرٍّ مرَّ بك؟

Is it not enough comfort for you that a single dip in Paradise will take away every bitterness you have ever experienced?

[rawanly]

اللَّهُمَّ اكفني حين أشعر أن لا أحد لي، واملأ قلبي صبراً وقوةً ورجاءً فيك وحدك

O Allah, be enough for me when I feel I have no one, and fill my heart with patience, strength, and hope in You alone.

[mv11]

Your Lord never took anything from you except that He knew it was harmful, while you were unaware

[beautifuldhikr]

O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the decline of Your blessings, the removal of our state of well-being, the sudden onset of Your punishment and from all that displeases you.

[sheheartsislam]

Use your blessings as a means to attain and build your Akhirah in Paradise بإذن الله تعالى

Any advice on how to look someone for marriage? How is your love life going? Married yet?

If you're a sister then your parents should actively search for it. I would definitely not encourage you to go on any Muslim matrimonial apps that has khalwah with non mehram.

The ideal way would be that your parents reach out to the extended family members if they know of any practicing Muslim upon deen. Probably good to seek help from the imam of the Masjid.

Till then I would encourage you to stay persistent with your dua and keep asking Allah. Sometimes delay just takes us closer to Allah.

Remember how beautifully Zakarriya Alayhi Salam kept asking Allah, became vulnerable, called his heart out to Allah, acknowledged the fact that they're weak and kept doing good and were humbly submissive.

My parents are also searching for me, May Allah make it easy for them and may Allah allow us to meet our other half soon. Aameen 🤲

When Fatima رضي الله عنها was buried, Ali رضي الله عنه came to her grave and recited this poem:

‏وإنّ افتِقادي واحدًا بعد واحدٍ

دليلٌ على ألاّ يدومَ خليلُ

“And indeed, the departure of loved ones, one by one, is an evidence that no one is an everlasting companion.”

Ibn al Qayyim رحمه الله said,

"If you want to see the extent of your Iman then see how you are in private.

For indeed Iman does not show its true extent in two units of prayer or in fasting during the day.But it shows in striving against your soul and desires."

[Madarij as Salikin 164/82]

A Journey 🛣️

- From Allah

- With Allah

- To Allah

A question to reflect upon - How well have we prepared for the Meeting with Allah which is the most important meeting..

_Abu Musa reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him. Whoever hates to meet Allah, Allah hates to meet him.”_
