sometimes you have to stop for a moment and realise that this world isn’t your home. i often find myself overwhelmed with negative thoughts and feelings forgetting that this is all temporary. everything around me, around us, is temporary. this sense of longing and loneliness can only be fulfilled in jannah.
Where there is love , there is peace
“I have never regretted my silence. As for my speech, i have regretted it over and over again.”
— Umar Ibn al-Khattâb [رضي الله عنه]
“Don’t let anyone see you except that you are happy. Let them always see your smile and if things get difficult, the Qur'ān is your paradise.. If loneliness starts to hurt, send your supplications through the heavens. When people ask you how you are, praise Allah and smile.”
— Sheikh Abu Ishaq al-Huwayni (via amxva)
Be humble and never think you're better than anyone else, from dust you are and onto dust you shall return.
Your impact on other people is bigger than you think. Someone still giggles when they think of that funny thing you said. Someone still smiles when they think of the compliment you gave them. Someone silently admires you. The advice you give has made a difference for people. The support and love you've offered others has made someone's day. Your input and opinions have made someone think twice. You're not insignificant and forgotten. Your existence makes a positive difference, whether you see it or not.
if you’re in university, please read this:
whether you’re just finishing your first semester, or you’re a senior, or anything in between, be proud of the progress you’ve made. college is not easy, not even close. any accomplishment is a great one. don’t be discouraged by any future worries and be happy with everything you’ve done so far. i’m proud of you, and you should be proud of yourself!
“What you see in other people is a reflection of yourself. A person of goodness sees goodness in others and a person of evil sees evil in others.”
— Shaykh Omar Suleiman
