The importance to renew ones intentions aren’t spoken about enough! It’s so easy to slip up and there’s so many rewards you will miss out on if your intentions aren’t right. Always remember to renew your intentions before you begin a matter. Even the smallest act, bi’idhnillah.

Ye jo mohabbatein hoti hai na, insaan ko barbaad kr deti hai

It is a frightening thought, that in one fraction of a moment you can fall in the kind of love that takes a lifetime to get over.

Beau Taplin (via quotemadness)

إِنَّ مِنْ أَحَبِّكُمْ إِلَيَّ وَأَقْرَبِكُمْ مِنِّي مَجْلِسًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَحَاسِنَكُمْ أَخْلَاقًا وَإِنَّ أَبْغَضَكُمْ إِلَيَّ وَأَبْعَدَكُمْ مِنِّي مَجْلِسًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الثَّرْثَارُونَ وَالْمُتَشَدِّقُونَ وَالْمُتَفَيْهِقُونَ

Verily, the most beloved and nearest to my gathering on the Day of Resurrection are those of you with the best character. Verily, the most reprehensible of you to me and the furthest from my gathering on the Day of Resurrection will be the pompous, the extravagant, and the pretentious.

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

‎“Be on the side with Allah and His Messenger even if all of mankind is on the other side.”

‎[al-Fawa'id pg 167

اللَّهُمَّ أَحْسَنْتَ خَلْقِي فَأَحْسِنْ خُلُقِي

O Allah, as you have made my form excellent, make my character excellent.
