Kaveh Akbar, From Calling A Wolf A Wolf: Poems; “Heritage”

“The most memorable people in your life will often be the ones who loved you when you weren’t very loveable. Realize this, and return the favor whenever you can.”

— Angel Chernoff

The verse that made Iblis cry:

وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُواْ فَـحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُواْ أَنْفُسَهُمْ ذَكَرُواْ اللَّهَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُواْ لِذُنُوبِهِمْ

Translation: If they fall in sin or wrong their souls, they remember Allaah and ask forgiveness for their sins.

Anas b. Malik:

"When this verse was revealed, Iblis cried."

● {تفسير ابن كثير ٣:١٣٥}

Yūsuf ibn al-Husayn ar-Rāzī said:

‎“The most difficult thing in the world is ikhlās. How I struggle to remove showing off from my heart and it is as if it grows in it again with other colours.”

‎[Jami' Al-'Ulum Wa'l-Hikam by Ibn Rajab Al-Hanbali رحمه الله pg. 10]

‏الحياة سَتمضي قبل أن نَستوعب مَا يَمُر بِنا

Life will pass before we realize what is happening to us.

- Naguib Mahfouz

If you are studying the deen and not realising your own ignorance then your ilm is not benefittng you. If it is only increasing you in arrogance then your intention is not sincere. Re-evaluate and start again

"I have discovered from my own experience that whenever someone increases in knowledge, they discover how much greater their ignorance is"

[The souls journey after death Ibnul-Qayyim Rahimahullah page 37]

Bro she can read a whole 400 page novel in a day. If she is not reading your one text, let her go, she's already taken by a fictional character

muslims and arabs being painted as t*rr*r*sts so that the western world can have free rein to k*ll, imprison, and do unspeakable horrors to those demographics is literally so crazy and depraved and i can’t believe people can’t see through the thin veil of white supremacy that is built into the fabric and framework of so much of the western world. but in the long run this has done nothing more than solidify that Allah alone is sufficient for me and there will no be true justice in this life.
