Your task is not to calm the storm but to find the calm within it. -Yasmin Mogahed

“Sure, I’m sad, but I’m not looking to soothe that sadness by replacing it with a new relationship. Women are allowed to be sad, and they’re allowed to be single, and they don’t need to hear that one day a man is going to make it all go away by telling her she is good enough again. She’s good enough as she is.”

It’s okay to be a beginner at the things you are interested in. There is no reason to feel intimidated by people more advanced than you are, because they too were in your place at one point. Keep learning and growing and expanding in whatever it is that you love and let nothing and no one stop you. You don’t have to be at the same stage as someone else. You can just be at your stage and that one is okay too.

Hasan Al-Basri, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

زَوِّجْهَا مَنْ يَخَافُ اللَّهَ فَإِنْ أَحَبَّهَا أَكْرَمَهَا وَإِنْ أَبْغَضَهَا لَمْ يَظْلِمْهَا

Marry your daughter to one who fears Allah. If he loves her, he will honor her. If he hates her, he will not oppress her.

Assalamulaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barkatuh.

Akhi, hear me out, please. I’m a well aware person of what I need to be doing but I lost my way in between, I did what I must not have done. I used to be greatly practising Muslim. A few months back, things changed maybe it's a bad influence or me having too much free time. I need to regain my Taqwa. I feel sad my heart is not content with how I was and how different I became. I left few prayers too for few days. I’m always trying to become the best but yet I fail. I strive to fight against my Nafs and Shaytān. But now after this I feel so broken up in my Deen. Even if I had too good Iman, it doesn't mean I'll not fall again like how it happened, I should've never gone far from good people and my recitations. I need to repent a lot.

وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته

a person will inevitably commit the sins that it is decreed he will commit, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The son of Adam’s share of zina (fornication/adultery) is decreed for him, and he will inevitably come to that…” But Allah has given him a way out from the sins that he falls into and He erases them by means of repentance and seeking forgiveness. If he does this then he will escape from the evil of sin, but if he persists in his sin he will be doomed.

It was said to al-Hasan al-Basri: Would not any one of us feel ashamed before his Lord to seek forgiveness from his sin then go back to it, then seek forgiveness then go back to it? He said: The shaytan would like you to feel that way; never give up seeking forgiveness.

Therefore, a person always goes through a state of distress or distance from deen, but he must return and not despair of himself and struggle to perform worship

عن عائشة رضي الله عنها، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏ “‏ يَا أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَاللَّهِ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا، وَلَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلاً ‏"‏‏.‏ صحيح البخاري ومسلم حديث ٦٦٣١ - ٩٠١

Narrated `Aisha: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, ”O followers of Muhammad! By Allah, if you knew what I know, you would weep much and laugh little.“ Sahih al-Bukhari 6631 In-book reference : Book 83, Hadith 11 USC-MSA web (English) reference : Vol. 8, Book 78, Hadith 627 Sahih Muslim 901 a In-book reference : Book 10, Hadith 1 USC-MSA web (English) reference : Book 4, Hadith 1966

قال الحافظ ابن حجر رحمه الله :

“والمراد بالعلم هنا ما يتعلق بعظمة الله ، وانتقامه ممَّن يعصيه ، والأهوال التي تقع عند النزع ، والموت ، وفي القبر ، ويوم القيامة ، ومناسبة كثرة البكاء وقلة الضحك في هذا المقام واضحة ، والمراد به التخويف” انتهى .

“فتح الباري” (11/319) .

وقال النووي رحمه الله :

“لو رأيتم ما رأيتُ ، وعلمتم ما علمت مما رأيته اليوم وقبل اليوم لأشفقتم إشفاقا بليغا ، ولقلَّ ضحككم وكثر بكاؤكم” انتهى .

“شرح مسلم” (15/112) .

وقال القرطبي رحمه الله :

“وقوله صلى الله عليه وسلم : ( لو تعلمون ما أعلم لضحكتم قليلا ولبكيتم كثيرا ) : يعني ما يعلم هو من أمور الآخرة وشدة أهوالها ، ومما أعد في النار من عذابها وأنكالها ، ومما أعد في الجنة من نعيمها وثوابها ، فإنه صلى الله عليه وسلم قد كان رأى كل ذلك مشاهدة وتحقيقا ، ولذلك كان صلى الله عليه وسلم متواصل الأحزان ، قليل الضحك ، جُلُّه التبسم” انتهى .

“المفهم” (2/557) .

In Fath al-Baari it says: “What is meant by knowledge here has to do with the might of Allah and His vengeance upon those who disobey Him, and the terrors that occur at death, in the grave and on the Day of Resurrection).

“When you speak to Allah, don’t be embarrassed to tell Him anything. The most beautiful thing is that He Knows what you are about to tell Him and yet He still listens.”

Shaykh Aa’id al-Qarni

If you could hear the sound of the pens of the Angels writing your name among those who remember Allah, you'd die out of joy.

How are you not amazed by your breathing, by your cells, by your body working and striving to keep you alive, by your existence

Which favours of your lord will you deny?
