Why do I even bother

I’ve gotten used to the fact that I will always be the one to console myself. Alhamdulillah.

‘O you who is preoccupied with this world

and fooled by the illusion of time

death strikes suddenly

and the grave is the chest of your deeds..’

[farfromfew]

لا تمرّنّ عليكم فريضة أو نافلة إلّا ودعَوتُم فيها لغزّة وأهلها، وَيلنا إِن فرّطنا، وَيلنا يوم السؤال، وَيلنا حين يحاجّوننا يوم الحساب. جهد المُقل لهذا المقام في قلّة حيلتنا أن نتّخذ مِن الدّعاء وردًا ثابت لا يَنقطع.

Let not a single obligatory or voluntary prayer pass without making du‘ā for Gaza and its people. Woe to us if we fall short. Woe to us on the Day of Questioning. Woe to us when they confront us on the Day of Reckoning. The least effort we can offer in our helplessness is to adopt a constant, unwavering routine of sincere du‘ā.

تقبل الله منا ومنكم، وغفر لنا ولكم، وكل عام ونحن وإياكم أقرب إلى الله وأحسن حالا ديناً ودُنيا.

May Allah accept (our deeds) from us and from you, forgive us and you, and may we all be closer to Allah and in a better state, both in faith and in worldly matters, with each passing year.
