..."The believer speaks little, but does much. And the hypocrite talks a lot, but does little. The believer's speech is wisdom, his silence is contemplation, his gaze is pondering, his actions are righteous. So if this is your state, you shall perpetually be in worship." Fudayl bin Iyyad

Become self-sufficient. But, how?
..."Self-sufficiency does not mean plenty of provisions; it means self sufficiency of the spirit." (Bukhari) All those extravagant things (and people) which deceive you are not worth pursuing or living for. All the goods things in life must be pursued but not the love of this world. Remember - live in this world and benefit from everything that Allah has created for us - but prepare for your akhirah - as that's where our real home is. Have A Blessed Friday - Duas for Everyone, Everywhere ♡ ...Don't let anyone else's negative words, thoughts, actions and beliefs become your reality - for the One who created You believes in you and that's all that matters - so if He (swt) believes in you, then it's time for you to believe in YOU! Others perception about you is not your reality. Remember - you have One Life and One Chance in this world to make your dreams a reality and always keep your One Vision in mind - Jannah al-Firdaus! ♡
....Our days are numbered - let's make sure we don't stray from the straight path, iA.
"O Son of Adam! You are nothing but a number of days, whenever each day passes then a part of you has gone." Al-Hasan Al-Basri Make each day count in the worship and remembrance of Allah and living upon the Sunnah of RasoolAllah (saw). ...Don't turn your face away from your Creator no matter how deeply you have been wounded. Maybe it's a lesson and sign for us to reconnect with our Rabb because we get so preoccupied in our day to day that we forgot to answer His call - we forgot Him!
"If Allah helps you, there is none to overcome you. And if He abandons you, then, who is there to help you after that? In Allah the believers should place their trust." [Qur'an; 3:160] Really, there is no one else who will help you and if your loved ones 'help' you its only by Allah's Will as He has chosen them to be there for you at that time. ...And in the end there is just One, Allah! Trust in Allah - if He brought us to it He will help us through it! ♡ God made beauty and He made appearances. He can make and He can take.
But the real beauty comes from a beautiful, pure, devout, obedient heart and soul - one which submits to Allah's Will. "Verily, Allah does not look towards your bodies nor towards your appearances. But, he looks towards your hearts." (Muslim) So even though Allah made beautiful faces and bodies He is going to judge us on our hearts. No amount of facial and bodily treatments will give us honour in this world and Jannah in the hereafter if our hearts are corrupt and diseased! Beautify your inner with Allah obedience and worship and you'll shine on the outside iA! ♡ Instead of focusing on everything you haven't done, it’s about time to concentrate on things you have done and celebrate your success.
No progress is ever too small to be celebrated. So before you sleep tonight think about your accomplishments. Some days we need a break but it doesn't mean you haven't achieved anything - so think about your achievements and it will give you turBo-energy to continue with your to-do list iA! ♡...Sometimes in life you need to walk away to be ok. Letting go is the most toughest and painful. Why? Because we live with our loved ones and we see and feel them. It feels forever. But we need to remember that God is the only One who is forever. We are time-bound and governed by emotions, we slip, trip and make mistakes. We become selfish in our wants and start demanding. Because we can't see God we fail to turn to Him. But He is with us always - He sees us even though we don't see Him. And He created us - so know that sometimes it's ok to let go - it's ok to fall - because He, Allah will catch us and we will be ok...♡
Don't be mediocre no more but excel and operate in 'ExCel Mode' - that is the only way you will live your full potential iA - and YOU were created to live your full potential and not be mediocre.
Raise YOUR Bar & Reach for the Stars. Believe you can achieve, ask of God & be ready to receive. Shine your Light! Sometimes we can be the most cruelest to ourselves.
We talk about ourselves in the most negative and degrading way. Imagine if you said all those things that you say to yourself to your loved one - how would they feel? I know, you wouldn't dare say that to them to hurt them! So why talk about yourself in such a way? That's not modestly or being humble - its being mean to yourself! "You say that you are just a body, but inside of you is something greater than the Universe." Imam Shafi (rahimullah) Learn to love and respect yourself - your soul and your body - and treat them well. They are an amanah - a trust from Allah and we will be accountable for them on the Day of Judgement. Remember if you don't love and respect yourself - no one else will! ☺ |
