اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ

"Allahumma inni as'alukal-Janna wa oudu bika minannar"

O Allah, I ask You for Paradise and I seek refuge in You from the fire.

A dua for the broken hearted

Allah, I ask that you protect my heart from becoming bitter, cold, and chronically disappointed. Replace my fears & hesitation with optimism &  hope that someday I will become whole again.

إِذَا دَخَلَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ فَتَّحَتْ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ وَغَلِّقَتْ أَبْوَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَسُلْسِلَتِ الشَّيَاطِينِ

When the month of Ramadan begins, the gates of the heaven are opened, the gates of Hellfire are closed, and the devils are chained.

Sahih Bukhari 1899

"EVERYTHING IS HARAM"

If Allah made Zina Haram, He made marriage Halal. If Allah made Alcohol Haram, He made thousands of other drinks Halal. If Allah made Music Haram, He gave you the Qur'an. If Allah made pork Haram, He gave you hundreds of other foods: fruits, vegetables, and halal meat. If Allah made silk and gold Haram for men, He gave them many other things to dress and beautify themselves with: cotton, polyester and many, many others. If Allah forbade women to expose their beauties to anyone other than their mahram, He ordered them to beautify themselves for their husbands, which creates more love and affection in their relationship. Never can you say everything is Haram; only a few things are Haram and the blessings are too many to count. The hikmah [wisdom] of Allah is great becduse many things that we think are not bad result in making people fali into Haram, which we all want to avoid as Muslims.

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].”

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.

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."

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.
