"Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out." — Robert Collier

Ibn Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“Your nafs is just like your enemy, once it finds you serious, it obeys you. If it finds weakness from you, it will take you as a prisoner.”

[Bada'i Al-Fawa'id, v. 3, p. 1202]

What Happened To Your Du'ā?

Abú Saʿīd al-Khudrī reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْمُتَوَكِّلِ النَّاجِيَّ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ: قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ: “There is no Muslim who calls upon Allah, “ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَدْعُو بِدَعْوَةٍ without ithm (ie: sin), لَيْسَ فِيهَا إِثْمٌ، or cutting family ties in it, وَلَا قَطِيعَةُ رَحِمٍ، but that Allah will give him one of three answers: إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ بِهَا إِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ: He will quickly fulfil his supplication, إِمَّا أَنْ يُعَجِّلَ لَهُ دَعْوَتَهُ، He will store it for him in the Hereafter, وَإِمَّا يَدَّخِرَهَا لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ، or He will divert an evil from him similar to it.” وَإِمَّا أَنْ يَكْشِفَ عَنْهُ السُّوءَ بِمِثْلِهَا "، They said, “In that case, we will ask for more.” قَالُوا: إِذًا نُكْثِرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (He ﷺ) said: “Allah has even more.” قَالَ: «اللَّهُ أَكْثَرُ» Ibn Abī Shaybah, al-Muṣannaf 6/22 #29170 إبن أبي شيبة، مصنف ٦/٢٢ #٢٩١٧٠ https://shamela.ws/book/9944/33045 @ilmtest [https://t.me/ilmtest]

Practice Self Care First

قال الإمام ابن قدامة رحمه الله تعالى:

« إيَّاكَ أن تَشتَغِلَ بِمَا يُصلِحُ غَيرَكَ قَبلَ إصلَاحِ نَفسِك »

"مِنهَاجُ القَاصِدِين" || (ص: ٢٢).

Imam Ibn Qadamah said (May Allah Ta Ala have mercy upon him), “Don’t get busy in what fixes the affairs for others before you fix yourself.

Minhaj Al Qasiddin 22

يا محلى شاي العصاري 🤍

Ibn Kathīr (رحمه الله) said,

فلا ألفة بين روحين أعظم مما بين الزوجين

"No love [or intimacy] between two souls is greater than that which is between the spouses."

[تفسير ابن كثير]

"Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is stronger than any obstacle." – Christian D. Larson

.

Al-‘Allāmah Ibn Bāz - may Allāh have mercy on him - said:

“Difference in age between the husband and wife is not an impediment; whether he is older than her or she is older than him, it is not an impediment. The only thing that is important is that she is religious. If she is religious then take her even if she is older than you.”
