The Prophet ﷺ said:
“When a person does not have enough good deeds to reach a certain level in Jannah, but Allah wants him to attain that level, then Allah tests him and puts him through difficult trials so that Allah may make him reach that level (in Jannah).”
[Sahih Ibn Hibban; Al Ihsan, Hadith: 2908]
Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله:
“Lofty ranks cannot be reached except with trials.”
[Majmu’ al-Fataawa v25, p302]
the ways were hard, somewhat
the sorrows collared my neck, as well
the townsfolk were harsh, somewhat
the death wish, I had, as well

who are you when you are not watching tv or movies? when you aren't playing video games or reading a book or fanfiction or listening to music or whatever other kind of media that you engage with? who are you when your mind isn't in another world or story, when you are forced to sit with yourself and the only experience you have is your own sensorial life? can you define yourself outside of what you consume? who is that person? do you like them? can you bear it? can you bear it?
تمادينا بالتفكير ونسينا بأن الأقدار مكتوبة
We went too far in thinking and forgot that destinies are written.
