Not everyone will get married.
Not everyone will have kids.
Not everyone will be rich.
Not everyone will own a house / car.
Not everyone will be famous.
But everyone will die.
Do not stress yourself so much & deprive yourself of contentment & happiness over things that are not certain & prepare for that which is certain.
We keep asking Allāh for rizq in this dunya day in & day out.

Do you think the righteous don't commit sins?
They simply hide them and don't expose them. And they seek forgiveness for them and do not insist on them. And they admit to them and don't justify them.
And they do good after they wrong themselves' 🖤

Debt is a trust that must be fulfilled and it is a serious matter that many unfortunately take lightly. While circumstances may arise that necessitate taking a loan from family or a friend, one should always strive to live within their means and to be content, and not let what they see in others' lives become a reason to fall into debt.

A reminder to myself first and foremost:
Be sure to put your fear of Allah above your fear of people.
“Therefore fear not men but fear Me”
[Surat al-Maa’idah 5:44]
“Do you fear them? Allah has more right that you should fear Him if you are believers”
[Surat al-Tawbah 9:13]

You might be seeing a dead body in the picture below - so listen! What happened was that suddenly it started raining, so the family members of the dead body, relatives and neighbours covered the dead body with plastic and the rest of the people went to the roofs and rooms etc. to save themselves from the rain -
This is a very important thing - this is my and your story too, we are not that special in this world, and our presence or absence does not make any difference to the affairs of the people - think that after death no one wants to spoil their clothes and valuables for you - today we keep on angering our Allah throughout our lives by thinking about this worldliness and people's anger -
and in the end this is what we are left with -😥

TALKING ABOUT ALLAH WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE 🚫 (Think Before You Speak)
Abu Hurairah (رضى الله عنه) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say:
Two men among the Children of Israel were the opposite of one another. One of them used to sin, and the other used to strive hard in worship.
The one who was striving (in worship) used to see the other one sinning, and he would say: "Refrain." One day, he found him sinning, and he said to him: "Refrain (from it)." He said: "Leave me alone, by my Lord. Have you been sent as a watchman over me?" He said: "By Allah, Allah will not forgive you, nor admit you to Paradise."
Then their souls were taken (in death), and they met before the Lord of the Worlds.
He (Allah) said to the one who used to strive (in worship): "Did you have knowledge of Me, or did you have power over that which is in My Hand?"
And He (Allah) said to the sinner: "Go and enter Paradise, by My Mercy." And He (Allah) said to the other: "Take him to the Fire."
Abu Hurairah (رضى الله عنه) said: "By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, he spoke a word by which his prospects in this world and in the Hereafter were doomed."

You know what gives you a good night sleep that we don't talk about? Gratitude!! Count 10 or more blessings of Allah in your life you are grateful for.
Gratitude reduces stress. It shifts your mindset from what you don't have to what you do have. It reminds you that you are living someone's dream life.
Gratitude creates a massive mental shift and increases positive mindset. It ends your negative focus and anxieties that usually visit us as we sleep.
Gratitude to Allah, true sincere gratitude and not just lip service will help you sleep so much better at night.
Gratitude always increases whatever you already have. Pair it with Dhikr of Allah and repentance and you have the perfect trifecta.
📖 If you are grateful, I will certainly give you more.
{Surah Ibrahim 14: Verse 7}
🤲 May our sincere gratitude to Allah help us relax, rest and have a restorative sleep - ameen!

"Many people think repentance is just saying, “Astaghfirullāh wa atūbu ilayh.” That is a rushed repentance, not true repentance. We are talking about sincere repentance, whose foundation is regret of the heart, sorrow of the heart, and feeling broken before Allah for having fallen short. Before you tell me, “I repent,” tell me about your heart: Do you truly regret? Do you feel real sorrow and longing? Do you feel distant from Allah, ashamed that you have not honored Him as He deserves? Repentance begins in the heart.
Merely uttering “I repent” while your heart feels no regret, without firm resolve to change, and without abandoning the causes of sin, is not repentance—it is false repentance. There must be a firm resolve not to return. This is not merely saying, “I won’t do it again,” but taking practical steps to cut off the causes of sin in your life. Everyone knows the triggers that lead them to sin. If you truly intend not to return, you must dry up the sources of that sin: change your environment, distance yourself from bad company, remove temptations.
If your smartphone constantly drags you into sin, you must either get rid of it or remove the applications that lead you astray. If your circle of friends encourages you to sin, you must leave them. Remember the hadith of the man who killed one hundred souls: when he sought repentance, the scholar told him, “Yes, you have repentance, but leave your land, for it is an evil land.” He changed his environment, and Allah forgave him.
Many young people fall into sins because of their surroundings—friends, workplaces, neighborhoods. If the environment is the source of sin, you must leave it. If your job itself exposes you constantly to fitnah and sin, you must be willing to sacrifice and seek another livelihood. Repentance entails sacrifice; it is not cost-free. Whoever imagines repentance to be effortless—just uttering “Astaghfirullāh”—has misunderstood. Allah knows exactly where your sin originates and whether you are serious about removing its root causes. Without this seriousness, words alone will not suffice.
Allah’s acceptance of your repentance does not necessarily remove the worldly consequences of the sin. Adam’s repentance was accepted, yet he was sent down to earth and endured toil. Acceptance of repentance is one matter; the worldly repercussions of sin are another. Sometimes Allah may forgive without any visible consequence; other times, He may decree trials—illness, hardship—as expiation for the sin. As Allah says in the Qur'an, “Whatever affliction befalls you is because of what your hands have earned, yet He pardons much.”
Therefore, minimize sins from the outset. Even after sincere repentance, traces of consequences may remain—worldly difficulties, emotional burdens—but these too may be a mercy, wiping away the remnants of sin. Do not assume that ongoing hardship after repentance means Allah has rejected you; it may be His way of purifying you."

Submission and sacrifice are the ultimate test of love, fear, and hope for Allah the Most High. We have to sacrifice our emotions for obedience towards Him.
The translation of Allahs words, Do people think once they say, “We believe,” that they will be left without being put to the test? We certainly tested those before them. And ˹in this way˺ Allah will clearly distinguish between those who are truthful and those who are liars. Surah Ankabut 2-3.
Allah give us emotions but we mustn’t submit to them if they cause us to disobey the One Who created them. Trust Allah, also cry, laugh, grieve, show excitement, and tell Him who angered or gave you relief. Allah is As Samee- He’s listening. Allah is Greater than all things.
Abu Huraira reported:
The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) visited the grave of his mother and he wept, and moved others around him to tears, and said: I sought permission from my Lord to beg forgiveness for her but it was not granted to me, and I sought permission to visit her grave and it was granted to me so visit the graves, for that makes you mindful of death.

When you think of Children of Gaza, imagine them in the care of Prophet Ibrahim عليه سالم. 💕 🇵🇸🍉
The children of Gaza are in the care of Prophet Ibrahim عليه سالم and what better care than with Wali of Allah, the friend of Allah himself?
Everytime you see a photograph or a video of a child, make dua to Allah and imagine Prophet Ibrahim welcoming another child in Jannah.
Imagine the little babies of Gaza making Prophet Ibrahim chase them. Imagine their giggles in a garden of Paradise. Imagine their beautiful happy and perhaps in shock cute faces when they first witness the beauty of Jannah after perhaps hearing a bomb moments ago.
Imagine children of Gaza drinking milk of Jannah.
Imagine children of Gaza eating honey to their hearts content.
Imagine children of Gaza swimming in pure waters and never having to know what thirst is.
Imagine children of Gaza in clothes of Jannah.
Imagine children of Gaza telling Prophet Ibrahim عليه سالم that they can't wait to meet their parents at the gates of Jannah.

In the midst of the garden there was a very tall man and I could hardly see his head because of his great height, and around him there were children in such a large number as I have never seen. I said to my companions, Who is this? They replied, Proceed! Proceed!…’ Then among the things that the two companions (angels) said to him was: ‘The tall man whom you saw in the garden, is Ibrahim(a.s) and the children around him are those children who die with Al-Fitra (the Islamic Faith).”
