Do not say that every day you spend on this earth is a day closer to dying. Every day you spend on this earth is a day closer to finally living.
Times of hardship can act as both an indicator, as well as a cure, for our broken relationship with our Creator.
They say you don't get over someone until you find someone or something better. As humans, we don't deal well with emptiness. Any empty space must be filled. Immediately. The pain of emptiness is too strong. It compels the victim to fill that place. A single moment with that empty spot causes excruciating pain. That's why we run from distraction to distraction and from attachment to attachment.
Love isn't supposed to torment you. If it does, there's probably something wrong.
The traveler walks through many mirages before he finds water.
You can’t run in more than one direction at a time. And you will only run in the direction you are facing. So if your heart is facing anything other than Allah, it isn’t Him you’re running towards.
The poison leaves bit by bit, not all at once. Be patient. You are healing.
If you think you're too far from Allah to return, and your 'past' continues to own you, just remember that Malik ibn Dinar (RA) was an alcoholic, and Omar (RA) was on his way to assassinate the Prophet (pbuh) before they became two of the greatest souls to walk the earth!
Loss; is the returning of what never actually belonged to us in the first place.
Real love brings about calm-not inner torment. True love allows you to be at peace with yourself and with God. That is why Allah says: “that you may dwell in tranquility.” Hawa is the opposite. Hawa will make you miserable. And just like a drug, you will crave it always, but never be satisfied. You will chase it to your own detriment, but never reach it.
Many of us rely on our own illusion of control. But when God makes it known to you that you're not the one steering the ship, be thankful. He has removed the illusion, and forced you to rely only on Him.
God tells me to cover myself, to hide my beauty and to tell the world that I’m not here to please men with my body; I’m here to please God. God elevates the dignity of a woman’s body by commanding that it be respected and covered, shown only to the deserving - only to the man I marry.
Oh my heart, there is another way to love. Do not love the gift for what the gift is. Love the gift for Who it came from.
Sometimes this world comes between us and what we love. But if we are patient, when this world passes away, there will be no more separation.
Allah does not withhold to withhold. Remaking the heart was the objective. To remake it, He sometimes breaks it first.
Sometimes we make duaa for a door of dunya. When it doesn't open, we cry. Not realizing that Allah has instead opened a door of jennah for us.
Time of difficulty test our faith, our fortitude and our strenght. During these times, the level of our imaan becomes manifest
Take care of the hearts of the people, and Allāh will take care of your heart
Oh external worshiper, know that worship without heart is motions. Oh seeker of knowledge, know that knowledge without purification is a dangerous weapon of the ego. Oh activist, know that work without orientation of heart is fruitless. Oh lover, know that love without God is pain.
There are internal chains and external chains. All the external chains in the world won't enslave you, if you are free inside. And all the external 'freedom' in the world won't liberate you, if you are chained inside. Let go. And you'll know Freedom.
Let your heart go Home, even before your body arrives.
My Nafs screams out for what it desires. But my will to be free screams louder.
When your failures surround you, and all the open doors have closed, look up. There’s a door that never closes, a way, when all the other ways have failed you.
This pain in your heart was created to make you yearn less for this life. And to yearn more for jennah. Allahu akbar
Once in a while, people enter our lives and lessen the loneliness of being away from Home.
