Islam Reflection

يا ابن آدم! كيف يرق قلبك وإنما همتك في آخر السورة

O son of Adam, how can your heart be softened when your only concern is reaching the end of your surah?

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Sālih al-‘Uthaymeen, [may Allāh have mercy on him], said:

“If you are conscious of Allāh and truly fear Him, be assured that He will grant you a way out of every difficulty.”

Sharh Riyādh us-Sāliheen, 1/517 | Shaykh ibn ‘Uthaymeen, [may Allāh have mercy on him].

Translation: Authentic Quotes

Imagine being called from ALL 8 gates of Jannah?

Goals.

Sometimes in your lowest moments when you feel most helpless, Allah reveals a treasure to you when you least expect it. It might be a friendship that blossoms because of a need, a deeper insight into life's meanings, a sudden attachment to the Quran, a tear that you learn to shed in supplication, etc. But surely when Allah takes something away from you, He gives you something greater in it's place

Everyone need to read Quran everyday, even just a little.

"إذا جاءك ما تحب فأكثر من: الحمد لله

 وإذا جاءك ما تكره فأكثر من: لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله

وإذا استبطأت الرزق فأكثر من: الاستغفار".

“If what you love comes to you, say often: Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah).

If what you dislike comes to you, say often: La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah (There is no power nor strength except with Allah).

And if sustenance is delayed for you, say often: Astaghfirullah (I seek forgiveness from Allah).”

أَسْتَـوْدِعُكُـمُ اللَّهَ الَّذي لا تَضِـيعُ وَدائِعُـهُ

“I leave you in the care of Allah, as nothing is lost that is in His care.”

You have Allah ﷻ. You will be okay. Focus on yourself, on your goals, on your dreams, and never forget to focus on your deen. Because people come and go. But you... you stay with yourself. Stay close to Allah ﷻ so He will always protect and guide you.

What makes salaah feels so difficult?

It's because your heart finds it heavy to 'move' towards it. It's very easy for your body to just stand up, make wudhoo, get your prayer mat, and start to perform salaah. If you don't make duaa & recite Quran after salaah, it only takes 10 minutes. Only 10 minutes out of 24 hours you have. There's no other way except forcing yourself to do it — until it becomes a very easy habit. Ask Allāh ﷻ to make it easy for you and remain steadfast.

Allāh ﷻ already knows what we want. But He ﷻ gives us opportunities to make a lot of dua to make us feel the sweetness of talking to Him.

- يا الله، عندما يحين وقت وفاتي، اغفر لي حتى إن لم أستطع أن أطلب المغفرة، وارحمني.
