Don’t think being ‘religious’ means becoming harsh or hard. When Allah enters a heart, He softens it – He doesn’t harden it.
Do your part, but stop trying to steer your destiny. You’re not in charge.
If there is one recipe for unhappiness it is that: expectations.
Time of difficulty test our faith, our fortitude and our strenght. During these times, the level of our imaan becomes manifest.
When someone hurts you, your first thought may be to wish you had never met them at all. But remember that even those who’ve hurt you, came into your life for a reason, and left for a reason. It’s for the best and healing starts with acceptance.
Don’t worry about what the people say. Sometimes they’ll praise you. Sometimes they’ll condemn you. All these things all fade away. And in the end, Allah takes care of everything. Perfectly.
This life will never be without storms. Stop fearing the storm. Build your inner shelter.
Like the sun that sets at the end of the day, so too will Ramadan come and go, leaving only it’s mark on our heart’s sky.
The Dunya is like the ocean and our heart is like the ship. If a ship allows the water to enter, it will sink. Just like when we allow the Dunya to enter our heart.
There’s a time for words and a time for silence. If you’re listening, you’ll hear the difference.
If you want the love of the people, stop running after it. The more you chase it, the more it escapes you. Love doesn’t come from the people. It comes from God.
If you’re having trouble waking up for fajr, set your alarm to play Quran. It works!
I’ll tell you the only way to survive: Ask God to place a semi-permeable shield around your heart: One that only allows what He loves to enter.
This pain in your heart was created to make you yearn less for this life. And to yearn more for jennah. Allahu akbar.
Sometimes the gifts of God aren’t wrapped as we expect.
Oh my heart, there is another way to love. Do not love the gift for what the gift is. Love the gift for Who it came from.
You have trouble feeling alive, so you stab your own heart just to feel something. It was the emptiness that was killing you. You created the sadness and the fear to fill it.
There is meaning in all things. But are you paying attention?
When the pain overtakes you, reach inside. Gather the broken pieces, and hand them to God. Ask Him to remake your heart. Different, this time. Stronger. More beautiful. This is how we are made, and remade by the Maker.
Let the love of Allah heal you. And free you.
