Why do you love your god?
How could i not love a Lord who said if i walk to Him, He would run to me. Who showers me with affection while He is Self-Sufficient, rich beyond need, and i stand in need of Him. Whose doors are always wide open, He holds out His Hand to accept the repentance of the one who sinned by day, and He holds out His Hand during the day to accept the repentance of the one who sinned at night.
Why would my heart not overflow with love for Him?
not everybody has had such a wealthy and good childhood that you have got there for you rubbing your blessed shit on front of everybody is not good and makes me sad cause my childhood and Life is poor and sucks
May Allah ease for you your affairs and grant you happiness both in this world and the hereafter.
I have my own set of difficulties and struggles. Please don’t think i have everything going for me, because i don’t. But Alhamdulillah, i know Allah will make things easy for me.
There will always be ups and downs anon. Life is never plain sailing for anyone. You have reason to be happy one day, then a reason to feel sad other days. And that’s the reality of this world.
Don’t make yourself miserable by comparing your life to others. People only put up what they want you to see but realise that everyone goes through tests.
Count your blessings and be content with whatever has been apportioned for you and you will be the richest of people.
And remember the promise of your Lord:
لَئِنْ شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ
”…If you are grateful, I will surely give you more…”
[Surah Ibrahim: 7]
When Yusuf عليه السلام reunited with his father after a long seperation and he started telling Ya’qub عليه السلام about the things that had happened to him, how beautiful that he didn’t even mention his brothers throwing him into the well. He had already forgiven them for what they had done and he didn’t want to put them to shame by mentioning the incident of the well in any way. He swept the whole thing aside by saying his brothers wouldn’t do such a thing, rather, it was shaitaan who deceived them and caused the rift between them.
We learn from this, that when you have forgiven someone, the best thing to do is to never bring that incident up again nor shame a person by telling others about it.

Let your heart trust Allah alone to take care of things that you cannot understand.
Make du’a wholeheartedly to Allah, and know for sure that His response will come for Allah has said in a hadith qudsi,
“I am as My servant thinks of Me…”
[ ٤٠ حديث القرسي، حديث ١٥]
Oh beloved guest,
as your footsteps begin to fade,
my soul aching with quiet longing,
my tears filling the space,
I gather the remnants you left behind;
the echoes of du’ās
whispered before dawn,
the stillness of sujūd
when the world was asleep
the peace that lingered
like a fragrance after rain.
Perhaps,
If i hold them close enough,
my heart will bloom again
until you return.
The Duaa: Allahumma innaka affuwun tuhibbul afwa fa'fu anni is not only a hope for the sinner, but also a heart moving reminder that our Rabb is a Rabb who loves to forgive. He doesn't just forgive. He loves to forgive out of His mercy and His love for His creation. How can we ever lose hope?
“How can a believer not shed tears at the departure of Ramadan, when he does not even know whether he will be alive for its return or not?”
[Ibn Rajab رحمه الله, Lataif al-Ma’arif, p. 216]
What harm can anyone in this world do to you as long as the One above the heavens is pleased with you?
