“أنت القصة التي لا أريد أن تكون لها نهايه".

You’re the story that I never want to have an end.

If your Iman drops and you become lazy with worship then repeat this du'a:

 اللهم لا تجعلني شقيا ولا محروما

 “O Allāhﷻ do not make me wretched or deprived [of good].” 

[strivingislam]

Shaykh ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Nāṣir al-Siʿdī رَحِمَهُ الله said:

In marriage one feels unparalleled joy. In marriage there is a special type of mercy that you won't find elsewhere.

— [Taysir al-Karīm al-Rahman]

Bilāl ibn Sa’d رحمه الله said:

Indeed, you have a Lord who is not quick to punish any of you. He pardons mistakes, accepts repentance, turns towards those who come to Him, and shows mercy to those who turn away.

Allah knows what your silent heart wants. Even when you can't find the words to express your deepest desires and needs, He understands. Trust in His wisdom and timing, and have faith that He is always listening and will provide what is best for you.

I wanted to give up,

but now I am particularly interested to see how ugly or beautiful the end can get—how ugly life can become, and how miraculously it could turn out to be something beautiful.

[strivingislam]

As an ummah we have no right to be celebrating our goals and successes for the year when our brothers and sisters are suffering. Have some shame and humility.

“The believers in their mutual mercy, love and compassion are like a single body, when one limb is in pain the rest of the body joins in insomnia, fever and restlessness”

What makes a man lose his honour?

‎Imam Shafi’i (رَحِمَهُ ٱللَّٰهُ) was asked, “What makes a man lose his honour? He replied, ‘Talking too much, exposing people’s secrets and placing [hopes] and trust in every single person.’”

"If you desire something you love, do not disobey Allah in reaching it, so that it does not become a reason for you to be deprived of it. For what is with Allah cannot be attained through disobedience."

[strivingislam]

I'm strict about my boundaries, because every time I wasn't, i paid the price. That's a lesson i'm not willing to take twice,....

[strivingislam]

Allah's mercy is boundless, but His justice demands accountability. Let's strive to treat others with fairness and respect. If we've wronged someone, regardless of their age or gender, let's take the initiative to make amends and seek forgiveness. Humility and accountability are essential on our journey to righteousness.

If you want to be rich, get a job, work very hard, get married and have children. You will be like 95% of people.

But if you want to be wealthy, successful and have purpose in life. Then study wealth, study success, study greatness, study religion, study everything that they will never teach you in university.

[strivingislam]

Gossip, rumours, ill speech, you think you won't be accountable? Imma come and take your good deeds and give you my sins if don't behave yourself. 🥱

[strivingislam]

Criticism works very well on women because they don't ever want to feel that feeling again. appreciation and praise works very well on men because men aren't emotional. They are logical.

If you genuine care, criticise women even if they say you're mean or rude. There is reason why they are like a rib bone. If you genuine care, praise men and appreciate.

[strivingislam]

The role model for men is the prophet of Allah. Yes, he is the example that was sent to the entire mankind. Yes, you can follow his way. Yes, he is human just like you.

Half the skill of being a man, is how do you handle women and children. How do you love them, how do you teach them, how do provide for them financially, emotionally and physically. How do you listen? How do you address their problems? How do you communicate? How do you explain things? How do you lower your gaze?

This is your character as man and most men have terrible character. Even animals have better character than some of the men ive met. How can you expect women to respect you, when you don't respect the responsibility given to you by Allah?

[strivingislam]

The wives of the prophet are the examples that women need to follow. Khatijah r.a would donate her wealth to the prophet. She would go out of her way to comfort Him. She didn't marry him for protection or for wealth or for status or luxury, she married him because of His outstanding character.

She was the first to believe in Him. She didn't leave Him when people mocked Him or when he would go there tough situations.

She remained loyal until the end. She ignored the dunya in order to serve a man who was committed to Allah. How many of us would approach a man and marry him because of his Deen and character?

I think many of us are lying to ourselves.
