Down for anything that’ll bring me closer to God and peace.Livin’ la vida without the loca.

"الزاد قليل، والطريق طويل، والكتاب لا يغادر صغيرة ولا كبيرة إلا أحصاها، والأجل قادمٌ عن قريب، وأهوال يوم القيامة تجعل الولدان شيبًا، فبأيِّ شأنٍ دنيوي أنتَ مُنشغل عن كل هذا كله! يا عبد الله، اتق الله فإنَّك واقف بين يديه، مُحاسب على ما فعلت، وحالك بين مغفرة وعذاب؛ فاتق الله."

Al-Ḥasan was asked, "What is tawakkul?"

He replied, "That nothing should be more firmly anchored in a servant’s heart than his Lord."

“All praise is due to Allah, who made this world a dwelling of departure and passage, a place of dispersal and transience, and a field for preparation and provision; and He made the Hereafter the abode of permanence and stability, and the delight of the eyes of the righteous.”

[frailbug]

you think that you're so alone in the world then you read literature from hundreds of years ago and you realize that other people have always felt this way

[julaibib]

O Allah, make us among those who believed in You and so You guided them, who relied upon You and so You sufficed them, who asked of You and so You gave them, and who humbled themselves before You and so You had mercy on them.

قاضي الحاجات، ملاذُ الأمنيات، فاك العقد، مُيسّر الصعوبات، مُغيّر الأحوال..يا اللهُ، نتوسّلُ بك.

‏هُناك أيام بِحيَاتك كُنت تَظنها لَنْ تَمُر .. كانت هَمك الكبير .. مَرت ولعلك نَسيتَها ..والآن أيضاً سَيمُر.. لاتقلَق

صباح الخير.

For our parents. Present and gone. May Allah have mercy on them all.

رَبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرًا

[sheymaaaaa]

grief is honestly the single most crippling emotion.

Six Fridays since my mom died. And still no matter what I’m doing, no matter what time it is, there it is. This weight sitting inside my chest that never lifts. And right next to it, this hollow emptiness that never fills. Both at the same time, always. I don’t get a break from it. Not even for a second.

It’s 3:38am and I’m wide awake because of it.

It’s like carrying something heavy that is somehow also nothing at all and it makes me so nauseous that I just freeze. Completely. I can’t do anything. I just stop.

Ya Allah.

[iqrajafzal]

رّ عيني بما أود ياربّ

Fulfill my eye with what I desire, O Lord

You might not find meaning in your suffering; perhaps no meaning exists at all. Still, one truth remains: your perseverance will not go unrewarded.
