Ibn Al-Qayyim رحمه الله Said:

ʿUmar Ibn ʿAbdil ʿAzīz was once asked:

"What do you desire?"

He replied, "Whatever Allāh decrees."

Sometimes Tumblr is a lot like trying to explain a toddler that you can't eat bugs and spiders because that's bad for you, and then someone shows up to lecture you about how spiders are a completely different class from insects, also you got "centipede" and "millipede" mixed up, so obviously you don't know anything about what you're talking about.

And if you try to answer like "do you want me to just let this kid just eat bugs or what", they'll get offended because correcting you about being wrong has nothing to do with implying that anyone would be eating bugs off the ground, obviously nobody is stupid enough to be doing that in the first place, that's a straw man and insulting to every group of people ever.

And then you look up at the other side of the yard and the toddler is there right back at it, slurping up centipedes like spagetti.

My lord, I seek refuge in You from the decline of Your blessings, the loss of good health, the sudden onset of Your wrath, and from anything that may lead to Your displeasure.

Heart is connected to the face!

‎Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said:

‎ “What is in the heart from light and darkness, good and bad, a lot of it flows to the face and the eye, and they are the greatest things connected to the heart.

‎ That is why it is narrated on the authority of Uthman رضي الله عنه, that he said: “No one is hid his secrets except Allah reveals it on the pages of his face and the slips of his tongue.”

I have literally lost faith in humanity.

a family bids farewell to their babygirl minutes ago, on the first day of Eid. Palestinians can't even celebrate without occupation bombardment.

(the linktree to donate for the people of Palestine is in my bio)

Just the thought that you need to be a better Muslim shows that light still exists in your heart

genuinely the idea that not caring about the lives of fellow human beings makes you more rational is far more widespread than it should be. if you never bother to learn cognitive empathy your own life will be worse anyway. and while some people see cognitive empathy as a default, I believe that's not true. "out of touch" would not exist as a concept if everyone had adequate cognitive empathy to navigate relationships and life in general. just #thoughts

Between all the hustle and bustle, don’t forget to take care of your heart and mind.❤️
