Reflections For Myself

"Be ambitious, keep climbing and always have hope. Beware of falling, and remember that life is minutes and seconds. Be like the ant in hard work, patience and perseverance. Always keep trying, and keep repenting. If you go back to sin, then repent again. Memorise Qur'ān, and if you forget it, go back and memorise it again and again. The main thing is that you should never feel defeated or frustrated, because rationally speaking there is no such thing as the last word or the bitter end, rather there is always trial and error, and learning from your mistakes. Life is like a body that may undergo cosmetic surgery; it is like a building that can be renovated and rebuilt from scratch, with new decor and paint. Do away with all thoughts of failure, and stop thinking of calamities and problems, for Allah, the Almighty, says: . وَعَلَى اللهِ فَتَوَكَّلُوا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ "...And put your trust in Allah if you are indeed believers." [Surah Al-Ma'idah - Verse 23] - Mawlānā Huzaifah Saleh حفظه الله

ʿUthmān b. ʿAffān (رضي الله عنه): "If our hearts were truly pure, we would never get enough of the Words of our Lord, and I hate that one day passes with me not looking in the Muṣḥaf." 7/215 البداية والنهاية —

Learn about intentions, for their importance is greater than the importance of actions. —Yahya b. Abu Kathir

Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen رحمه الله said: “A pious woman; even if she’s not stunningly beautiful, her character and religion make her attractive!” [Sharh Riyad as-Saliheen no. 280]

Imām Ghazali رحمه الله عش ما شئت فإنك ميت وأحبب ما شئت فإنك مفارقه واعمل ما شئت فإنك مجزي عنه "Live for as long as you wish for indeed you will die, love whoever you wish for indeed you will be separated, and do what you wish for indeed you will be recompensed for it."

The Story Of Abū Ṭalḥah رضي الله عنه, coming back to his house, but not knowing that his Child had passed away. SubḥānAllāh this is so incredible.

“Be observant of Allāh ﷻ in secret and in public, turning between fear and hope. Turn to your Lord completely, and let your heart be filled with love of Him, your tongue with His remembrance, and be happy with His rulings and wisdoms”. — Sharh Hilyah Talibul ilm, Ibn Uthaymeen رحمه الله

Don't ruin your current peace of mind by overthinking about things that have not occurred. Don't create rifts where there is stillness. The human mind is created in a way that it cannot handle too much at once so focus on the task at hand and take each moment as it comes. Don't ruin a morning coffee, a blessed Friday, or a moment with a loved one by worrying about something that the shaytan manufactured in order to make you sad. There is always something good to turn to.

Taqwa and Allāh ﷻ consciousness does not mean that one will not sin. That is impossible. It means being remorseful and making sincere tawbah and istighfaar in the event one slips and commits a sin. A person gets closer to Allāh ﷻ through this. Mufti Muajul
