When you’re going through something hard and you start wondering where Allah is, just remember, the Teacher is always quiet during a test.
Sabr is not remaining quiet and allowing anger to build up inside you. Sabr is to talk about what’s bothering you without losing control of your emotions.
There is nothing wrong with having a good job, there is nothing wrong with having a nice house, there is nothing wrong with that. There is something wrong when that is your goal.
Guilt is a gift from Allah warning you that what you are doing is violating your soul.
If someone corrects you, and you feel offended, then YOU have an EGO problem.
If shaytan has entered into your heart – evil will look beautiful to you and good will seem tiring and exhausting.
Talk with your daughters, Play with your sons. You need to be a better friend to them than anyone else. This society offers lots of evil friends. Before they make those kinds of friends, they need to find their best friend in you.
Islam is not a set of rules. It’s a way of seeing life and the world.
Forget bad deeds, even the good we do are full of mistakes.
If you have friends or family who are not practicing, give them your company and not your judgment. They need your patience and your love. Allah is sufficient for judgment and He subhanahu wa ta’ala is a perfect Judge. We are not.
I look back and half of Ramadan is over in the blink of an eye. Before I know I’ll be saying that about my entire life.
Every relationship has tough days. Don’t let the grudge last. Be the first to try to make things right and stop waiting for an apology.
You can’t change someone’s behaviour, all you can do is remind them, and hope that Allah will change their heart.
Not letting our mood affect the way we treat people is a forgotten sunnah.
