If You Have Sinned In Private, Make Sure You Do Even Lot More Good Deeds In Private...

— Celebrating Childhood, Adonis (translated by Khaled Mattawa)

[text ID: My wishes are flowers / staining my days.]

Perfecting one's intention for Allah's sake, is a lifetime's work.

The Prophet ﷺ said,

“When death was approaching the Prophet Nuh عليه السلام, he said to his son,

‘I will narrate to you my bequest; I command you with two things and prohibit you from two things.

I command you with La ilaha illAllah (‘There is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah),

if the seven heavens and the seven earths were placed upon a scale and La ilaha illAllah was placed on the other, then La ilaha illAllah would be heavier.

If the seven heavens and the seven earths were a closed off circle then La ilaha illAllah would be able to break it.

The second thing I command you with is Subhana Allaahi wa bihamdihi because it is a supplication for everything, and by it the creation is given its provision, and I prohibit you from shirk and pride.’”

[Al Silsila As Sahiha, 3130]

Ibn Rajab al-Ḥanbalī (رحمه الله) stated,

“One of the Salaf said, They would supplicate to Allah for six months to allow them to reach Ramadan, then they would supplicate to Him for six months to accept [their worship].”

[Lata’if al-Ma arif (Dar Ibn Hazm), 376.]

The heart of the one you turn too, is in the hands of the one you turn away from.

Shaykh Khalid Rashid: Ghuraba Strangers.

Ya Allah, I'm tired, make me stronger.

There is no one coming from the stars to brighten your darkness, be the light.

“The most memorable people in your life will often be the ones who loved you when you weren’t very loveable. Realize this, and return the favor whenever you can.”
