The prophet Muhammed (pbuh) said: The best of houses is the house where an orphan gets love and kindness"

"never limit your prayers because you think you’re sinful or undeserving. you’re not praying because of who you are - you’re praying because of who He is & He’s the one whose mercy and love for you are endless"

The first thing Allah removes from a person when he steps into Jannah is his sadness. The people of Jannah will say:

🌺 ❛…𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗵, 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘂𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳. 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗹𝘆, 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗥𝗮𝗯𝗯 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁-𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲. 𝗪𝗵𝗼, 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲, 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝗱𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿; 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗶𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝘂𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁, 𝗻𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝘂𝘀.❜ 【𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗵 𝗙𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗿 𝟯𝟱:𝟯𝟰-𝟯𝟱】

We’re constantly moving from one state of difficulty to the next. From happiness to sadness, and to the next state. This is just the reality of this dunya. We can’t escape from sadness, from disappointment, from worry, anxiety, and difficulties.

🌺 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗵 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝘀: ❛𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗹𝘆, 𝗪𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝗶𝗹.❜ 【𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗵 𝗮𝗹-𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗱 𝟵𝟬:𝟰】

Why do we have to experience all these moments of pain? So that perhaps we may yearn for that life which is free from hardships — Allah’s Jannah. And one of the most beautiful things that happen when we enter Jannah by His Mercy, is that He will wipe away every single painful memories.

Let’s be real. All of us are struggling in some ways. As imperfect human beings, we all have imaan swings.

There are days when our imaan is high, and there are days when we find even praying the fard salaah a heavy task — but we force ourselves anyway to fulfil the obligation out of taqwa of Allah.

There are days when we want to read and study the Qur’an for hours, and then there are days when we don’t feel like reading a single aayah at all — but we read 5, 10 aayat anyway, because we don't want a single day to pass without reading His Book.

And your striving in and of itself is an indication of having imaan.

Know that for every striving, every desire we control to not fall into the impermissible, and every effort we put into doing a small good deed are seen and appreciated by Him subhanahu wa ta’ala. Let these aayat encourage us to keep on going:

🌺 ❛And whatever you do of good, Allah certainly knows it.❜ 【Surah al-Baqarah 2:197】

🌺 ❛And whoever performs a good deed, We will increase for him goodness therein.❜ 【Surah ash-Shura 42:23】

🌺 ❛Is there any reward for good other than good?❜ 【Surah Ar-Rahman 55:60】

🌺 ❛[It will be said to the people in Jannah]: This (i.e. everything in Jannah) is a reward for you. And your effort has been very much appreciated.❜ 【Surah Al-Insan 76: 22】

Imām Ibn al-Jawzī رَحِمَهُ ٱللَّٰهُ said:

“It is a must for each cautious and intelligent person to gather the supplies needed before his departure [from this life].

For he never knows when his hour of death will strike or know when his soul will be called back!”

~ Captured Thoughts | Page 80

He created me

He provided for me

He will look after me

why do I drown myself then

in worry ?

over and over again

I strive to remind myself

my Creator will not abandon me

have patience, dear one

it will all fall into place

with one command of

"Be!"

(-tryinginlifetiredly)

[Reported by Ibn 'Abbās in Marfū' form]

The Prophet (ﷺ) said,

إِسْمَحْ يُسْمَحْ لَكَ

"Be gentle [1],

and gentleness shall be rendered to you."

[1] Easygoing, Forgiving

[سلسلة الصحيحة]

Explaning it,

Manāwī said,

"Deal with Allah's creation who are [all] dependent upon Him and so are His slaves with gentleness [i.e, forgiveness] and ease. [and] their Master [Allah] will render the same to you in this Dunyā and Akhirah."

The Description of Imam Ahmad

Muḥammad b. ʿAbbās al-Naḥwī said: “I saw Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal with a handsome face, well-formed, رَأَيْتُ أَحْمَدَ بنَ حَنْبَلٍ حَسَنَ الوَجْهِ، رَبْعَةً، and dyeing his hair with henna that was not too dark. يَخْضِبُ بِالحِنَّاءِ خِضَاباً لَيْسَ بِالقَانِي، He had black hairs in his beard, فِي لِحْيَتِه شَعَرَاتٌ سُودٌ، and I saw his clothes extremely white. وَرَأَيْتُ ثِيَابَهُ غِلاَظاً بِيضاً، When I saw him, he was wearing a turban and an izār.” وَرَأَيْتُهُ مُعْتَمّاً، وَعَلَيْهِ إِزَارٌ. al-Ḏahabī, Siyar Aʿlām al-Nubalāʾ 11/184 الذهبي، سير أعلام النبلاء ١١/١٨٤ https://shamela.ws/book/10906/7366 @ilmtest [https://t.me/ilmtest]

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.”
