Ever wonder the number of lifetimes you need to live all the different lives you imagined to live?

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’]

You really are your worst enemy if you don’t have discipline

If you have sinned in private, make sure you do even lot more good deeds in private...

So that when the scales will be set on the day of judgement the latter will outweigh the former.

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]

Be excessive, be obsessive about what you truly want. There is no other option but getting what you want. You will work harder than you could imagine, there will be sleepless nights and probably you won't even have time to eat. But don't stop. Yes, for a long time it will be CHAOS, confusion. But let me tell you, THE SATISFACTION you have from the hard work, there is no better feeling than achieving your goal through hard work. And then, THE REGRET you'll have for not doing it will eat you alive. YOUR CHOICE

الْبِرُّ حُسْنُ الْخُلُقِ وَالإِثْمُ مَا حَاكَ فِي صَدْرِكَ وَكَرِهْتَ أَنْ يَطَّلِعَ عَلَيْهِ النَّاسُ ‏‏

Righteousness is good character, and sin is what waivers in your heart and you hate for people to find out about it.

When does a war end? When can i say your name and have it mean only your name and not what you left behind?

The heart of the one you turn too, is in the hands of the one you turn away from.

One of the salaf said: “Rajab is like the wind and Sha'ban is like cloud-cover while Ramadan is like the rain. Thus, whoever does not sow in Rajab and does not water in Sha'ban, how does he expect to harvest in Ramadan!” اللهم بلغنا رمضان
