Whenever I get emotionally stressed I relapse into unhealthy habits (bad eating habits, staying up way too late, increasing screentime) but gardening is definitely helping. There’s still good things though: the sky is blue, flowers are blooming, my plant is growing strawberries, and I have time to paint ✨Alhamdulillah 🌙

i think my favorite thing that i got out of my medical anthropology elective is how culturally defined health and illness are... very interesting to think about

so you've fallen off track this zhul-hijjah

first thing's first, it happens. beating yourself up now won't change what's already been done (or hasn't been).

secondly, know that Allah ﷻ is the most forgiving, so if He ﷻ wants, He ﷻ can choose to overlook all the mistakes you've made and turn them into good deeds, so never loose hope

now, the most important thing is that you still have time. these virtuous ten days aren't over yet. let's work on making the absolute most of whatever's left.

1. wrote down your goals- this will make them more tangible and once you place them somewhere visible, it'll serve as a reminder of what you ought to be doing. be realistic about how big you make your benchmarks, but don't completely dismiss your ability to give it your all once you get down to it inshaAllah ﷻ

2. make a plan- so, you know you want to recite the entire qu'ran, and you don't have a full 10 days to do it anymore? that's ok, plan out how much you can recite daily in order to complete your goal. similarly, have an approach for each individual goal so you're not left wondering how to achieve them.

3. hold yourself accountable- this varies widely for different people. some like to use a chart or app to ensure they stay on track whilst others need a buddy to check in with. some need a variety of methods. figure out what works best for you and then commit to not letting yourself slide anytime you fail to complete an intended task

4. time is everything- as stated in sura asr, man is at a loss with time. it's truly the one thing we can never get back. try to keep this in mind for the rest of these blessed ten days, so that as soon as you feel you're about to waste time on an app or doing something unnecessary, you snap yourself out of it. the first ten days of zhul hijjah are only 240 hours in total, and out of that, you need time to eat, sleep, and use the bathroom. after that, every hour counts and we can't afford to waste even one.

5. lastly, turn to Allah ﷻ for help- make dua to Allah ﷻ to help you make the most of this beautiful opportunity and keep firm faith in your ability to do so. if you have hope in Allah ﷻ’s mercy, He ﷻ will definitely take care of you.

there's a lot more to be said on this topic, but these are just a few tips that i feel are basic necessities. may Allah ﷻ grant us all the tawfiq to reap the most benefit of these most blessed days. ameen

Please have your kids memorize longer surahs in a fun way when they're little. That way those surahs will always be filled with a distinct comfort and nostalgia like nothing else when they get older. It doesn't even have to be a whole surah. The satisfaction of reciting qur'an and reaching an ayah you know is so amazing. It's like arriving at a place that's packed and recognizing your friend in the crowd ;_;

If you make it fun then it'll be such a powerful thing in their lives. It's a different kind of comfort subhanallah.

This also works on yourself by the way- you are the youngest you'll ever be so might as well start today... Who knows? Some years down the road you might read the ayah or happen to hear it and recognize it like you would an old friend 💓💓

REMINDER

tomorrow Monday, July 31 will be the 13th of muharram, which means the ayaame bidh (days of the full moon) fast will fall on:

✨ Monday, July 31

✨ Tuesday, August 1

✨ Wednesday, August 2

It was narrated that Abu Dharr ‏رضي الله تعالى عنهsaid: The Messenger ﷺ of Allaah ﷻ said to me: “If you fast any part of the month, then fast the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth.”

Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (761); al-Nasaa’i (2424).

This hadeeth was classed as hasan by al-Tirmidhi, and al-Albaani agreed with him in Irwa’ al-Ghaleel, 947.

"من أحبك لشيء أبغضك لزواله"

I just had a literal lightbulb moment!!!!

In this lecture, sheikh Hamza Yusuf is teaching a Hadieth about Iman. The Hadieth says:

"ثلاث من كن فيه وجد بهن حلاوة الإيمان: أن يكون الله ورسوله أحب إليه مما سواهما، وأن يحب المرء لا يحبه إلا لله، وأن يكره أن يعود في الكفر بعد إذ أنقذه الله منه كما يكره أن يقذف في النار".

There are three qualities for which anyone who is characterised by them will relish the sweetness of faith: he to whom Allah and His Messenger are dearer than all else; he who loves a man for Allah's sake alone; and he who has as great an abhorrence of returning to unbelief after Allah has rescued him from it as he has of being cast into Hell.

I’ve always known that we as Muslims are always encouraged to love people only for the sake of Allah and how doing so earns us a higher status on the day of judgment, but I’ve NEVER truly understood why until now.

In his explanation of this Hadieth, he mentioned a phrase in Arabic: "من أحبك لشيء أبغضك لزواله" which means whoever loves you because of something will despise you when that something is gone. This is exactly why we are only supposed to love only for the sake of Allah. Because Allah has no beginning and no end and he is everlasting, therefore, you would never hate someone bc the reason never seizes to exist!!!! I MEAN MY GOD!!! to think that Allah has literally installed a safety mechanism to protect our hearts from the pain of emotional fluctuation and not only that but also braiding that in the core of our faith is the most loving and merciful act to ever exist. Like let’s take a few steps back for a second here and really let this sink in. Allah wants to take care of our hearts and have mercy on them to the point where he as declared that loving for his sake is an essential step to complete one’s faith and being able to actually taste its sweetness, why? So you won’t have your heart broken when the relationship that tied you to that person falls apart or what have you bc at the end of the day it was all for Allah and nothing that goes out for the sake of Allah is EVER lost.
