Shaykh Al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله Said:

coming back to the things you loved when you were younger feels so special 

I have experienced this number of times that the more I drift away from my deen, the more I lose my balance in life.

Imâm az-Zuhrî رحمه الله said:

"Do not underestimate yourselves because of your young age. For, whenever 'Umar ibn al-Khattâb was faced with a difficult matter, he would invite the youth and consult them; seeking the sharpness of their intelligence."

[Hilyah al-Awliyâ’]

Al-Imām ibn Salah [may Allāh have mercy on him] said:

“Whomsoever safeguards the morning and evening supplications, the supplications after the prayers, and the supplications before sleeping will be written among those who remember Allāh abundantly.”

Al-Adhkār | Page 10 | Al-Imām an-Nawawi [may Allāh have mercy on him]

“There is no doubt that the one who memorizes more Qur’an will, in most cases, be able to recite more Qur’an in prayer. The recitation of Qur’an is one of the most enjoyable parts of prayer, and having the ability to elongate your standing in front of Allaah subhanahu wa ta’ala is greatly rewarding.”

the ways were hard, somewhat

the sorrows collared my neck, as well

the townsfolk were harsh, somewhat

the death wish, I had, as well

I will miss these kind of moments when it comes to an end.. 4am studying vibes never come to an end for me. I’ve found much solace in these hours with Allah over the years.

Ya Allah, extend these days and do not let them end for me. I can’t explain how sad I get when I think about my studies coming to an end. May the light of knowledge stay with me for as long as I live.

the older i get, the more i need time & personal space to be as boring as possible
