Even if you try to, Allah will never let you settle for anything lesser than what you deserve.

~ mashriqiyyah

[sanriodoll97]

This Dunya will break you if you love it. Nobody can protect you from that. That's the purpose of life. And Allah reminds us constantly that we don't belong to this Dunya. He reminds us that our only belonging and return is to Him.

[hamdosana]

When you trust Allah SWT and take a step towards something you feel like is impossible, remember that Allah did not leave Prophet Musa A.S. in the middle of the sea when things felt impossible to him, He made him successfully cross it because of his unwavering tawakkal on Allah SWT. You and Prophet Musa A.S. have the same Rabb.

[altrvisticsoul]

You're exactly where Allah wants you to be, this phase you're going through in your life is also part of Allah's plans, so keep trusting Him and don't lose hope.

[taqwatawheedtales]

"I hate this feeling"

When you are going through trials in life or you fall sick say Alhamdulillah, because :

"Nothing afflicts a Muslim of hardship, nor illness, nor anxiety, nor sorrow, nor harm, nor distress, nor even the picking of a thorn, but that Allah will remove his sins because of it"

Source: Sahih al -Bukhari 5641, Sahih Muslim 2573

[tintafugaz]

So, do not spread corruption on earth after it has been set in order. Call upon Him in fear and hope. God’s mercy is close to the benefactors of humanity.

[fvvckthat]

صبر = Patience

Allah Ta'ala says in Surah al-Baqara, Ayet 155: "And surely We will test you with some fear, hunger and loss of wealth, lives and fruits." But give good tidings to those who are patient."

Sabr is commonly understood as patience, but it is more than that. Patience means that we show restraint while dealing with a difficult situation. But Sabr also contains the meaning of endurance. Patience and perseverance are both required for the heart to achieve what it desires.

[al-firdaus]

I was sitting on my prayer mat and a realisation dawned on me and subhanaAllah, i couldn’t help but cry. I am living the du’as i had made 2 years ago, exactly the way i had made them but even better than i had imagined. Never stop making du’a for what you want, even if you think it’s impossible. Even if you feel like you will never get that far. Allah hears. Allah sees. Allah knows.

A Key to Tawakkul (Trust in Allah)

Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Raheem.

In the story of Mariam (alaihi as-salam), there is a profound lesson about the balance between effort and trust in Allah (Tawakkul). When Mariam was in the throes of intense labor pain, Allah did not simply provide her with sustenance directly, despite having done so in the past. We know from her conversation with Prophet Zakariya (alaihi as-salam) that she used to receive miraculous fruits:

"كُلَّمَا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا زَكَرِيَّا ٱلۡمِحۡرَابَ وَجَدَ عِندَهَا رِزۡقٗاۖ قَالَ يَـٰمَرۡيَمُ أَنَّىٰ لَكِ هَـٰذَاۖ قَالَتۡ هُوَ مِنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرۡزُقُ مَن يَشَآءُ بِغَيۡرِ حِسَابٍ" "Whenever Zakariya entered upon her in the prayer chamber, he found with her provision. He said, 'O Mary, from where is this [coming] to you?' She said, 'It is from Allah. Indeed, Allah provides for whom He wills without account.'" Quran 3:37

Yet, when she was in the pain of childbirth and desperate for relief, Allah did not simply provide her with food or ease. Instead, He instructed her to take action, despite her weakness:

"وَهُزِّيٓ إِلَيۡكِ بِجِذۡعِ ٱلنَّخۡلَةِ تُسَـٰقِطۡ عَلَيۡكِ رُطَبٗا جَنِيّٗا" "And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh dates." Quran 19:25

Mariam (alaihi as-salam) was asked to shake the palm tree to receive sustenance, a task that seems nearly impossible for a woman in the throes of labor. Yet, Allah required this minimal effort from her before providing His assistance. This teaches us that even in our moments of extreme hardship and pain, we are still expected to strive and do whatever little we can, however small or weak our efforts may be.

The Principle of Striving in Other Prophets’ Stories:

This concept is reinforced in the stories of other prophets as well, where Allah required them to take some action before delivering His aid. Consider the story of Prophet Yusuf (alaihi as-salam) when he was tempted by the wife of the Aziz. Instead of waiting for divine intervention, Yusuf actively ran towards the door to escape the situation:

"وَٱسۡتَبَقَا ٱلۡبَابَ" "And they both raced to the door…" Quran 12:25

Here, Yusuf (alaihi as-salam) took action, and then Allah intervened to protect him. His running toward the door symbolizes the believer’s duty to strive against temptation, after which Allah helps.

Similarly, when Prophet Musa (alaihi as-salam) was being pursued by Pharaoh's army, he and his people were cornered by the sea. Musa was instructed to take action:

"فَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْبَحْرَۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٖ كَٱلطَّوْدِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ" "Then We inspired to Moses, 'Strike with your staff the sea,' and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain." Quran 26:63

Despite the seemingly impossible odds, Musa (alaihi as-salam) did what he could—he struck the sea with his staff—and then Allah opened a way for him.

In the story of Prophet Nuh (alaihi as-salam), Allah commanded him to build an ark to save himself and the believers from the impending flood. Though Nuh could have relied solely on Allah’s protection, he still followed Allah’s command to exert effort by building the ark:

"وَيَصۡنَعُ ٱلۡفُلۡكَ" "And he constructed the ship…" Quran 11:38

This teaches us that part of Tawakkul (trust in Allah) is taking action within our capacity.

The Hadith: Tie Your Camel and Then Trust Allah:

This principle is perfectly encapsulated in a famous hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ):

A man asked the Prophet (ﷺ), “Should I tie my camel and trust in Allah, or should I leave it untied and trust in Allah?” The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, “Tie it and then trust in Allah.” (Tirmidhi)

This hadith emphasizes that Tawakkul is not about sitting idle and expecting everything to fall into place without effort. It is about doing our part, no matter how small, and then trusting in Allah to take care of the rest.

What these stories highlight is that Tawakkul (trust in Allah) and effort go hand in hand. Allah asks us to do the bare minimum that we are capable of, and once we do that, He will provide the rest. Whether it’s Mariam (alaihi as-salam) shaking the tree, Yusuf (alaihi as-salam) running toward the door, Musa striking the sea, or Nuh building the ark, the pattern is clear: even in our weakest or most desperate moments, we are required to put forth effort, however small, to demonstrate our reliance on Allah.

In the end, it is not our effort that brings about the result—it is Allah—but our effort shows our faith and trust in His plan. The message is to never give in to despair or inactivity, even when circumstances seem overwhelming.

When we face hardships, we often wish for immediate relief from Allah. But Allah teaches us through these stories that, even in the most difficult moments, we must strive to do whatever we can, no matter how small, and then place our complete trust in Him. The act of shaking the tree or running to the door symbolizes our effort, while the provision from Allah symbolizes His grace and mercy.

[strivingislam]

When Allah tests you, it is never intended to destroy you. When He removes something in your possession it is only in order to empty your hands for even a greater gift.

[taqwatawheedtales]

“How can Allah possibly forgive me?”

Always remember that, Allah loves to forgive.

Shaytan loves for you to despair of Allah's Rahma. Allahs reply to shaytan: “By my honor and My glory, I swear, as long as they keep coming back to me, I will forgive them."

Your question suggests you can not fathom the depths of Allah's Rahma and Maghfirah (forgiveness)

Other people's condemnation of you is not a reflection of Allah's judgement of you.

Face yourself: are you sure you're not using this as an excuse to carry on doing what you're doing and persist in sin?
