Imam Ibn al-Jawzi رحمه الله said:
“Every time you get a heartfelt feeling to repent, the troops of your desires attack and overcome your intentions. Slaughter the throat of desire with the knife of firm resolve, because so long as desire remains alive you are never safe from the relapse of an ever-changing heart (from good to evil). Let the tears you shed in the darkness of the night be your intercessors for when you make mistakes.”
[Kitaab Al-Lataa’if Fil-Waa’iz | Pg. 51]

Insecurities Worth Having
In conversations about physical insecurities with sisters, one often gets annoyed with the over-analyzation sisters indulge in about their appearances and the level of complaining and ingratitude that’s displayed over Allāh’s blessings. But let’s be honest, there are some features that really are worthy of being insecure about. It’s important that we list them so that sisters can work on remedying the appearance of such ugliness! Some of the worst but most normalized ones:
1. A nose that’s in everyone’s business, poking itself in places it’s not wanted nor supposed to be.
2. A mouth that backbites and through which gossip spreads, that speaks obscenities and is constantly engaged in Qīl wa Qāl (ex: “so and so said and I heard such and such”)
3. Eyes that remain shut throughout the entire night, and never awaken for Qiyām Al-Layl.
4. Skin that isn’t cleansed often with Wudū, and that doesn’t touch the floor in prostration for both Fard and Nawāfil Salawāt.
5. Fingers that aren’t used to keep count of Dhikr.
6. Hands that harm and oppress others.
7. Ears that eavesdrop and listen to that which they are forbidden to hear, such as music and backbiting.
8. A figure that is displayed and distinguishable to those who are forbidden to see it.
9. And a head that doesn’t lower with shyness in the presence of Non-Mahram men.
Let’s set the beauty standards straight, sisters. It’s about time Muslimāt start obsessing with the shortcomings in their Deen and Adab the way they do over their physical appearances. Imagine how much better the state of our graves and hereafter would be if we focused on polishing and perfecting the souls which will be judged before Allāh instead of the bodies that will decay and become one with the dust.
May Allāh سبحانه وتعالى forgive our shortcomings and grant us the ability to rectify our states.

Contemplate on this Ramadan:
Its first 10 being the time of childhood, its middle 10 being youth, its last 10 being old age.
And then imagine eid being the Day of Resurrection..
Such is the example of this life, of this temporary abode.
Don't yousee how Ramadan is a traveller? It comes as a guest and goes?
Such is our lives if we but ponder..
