They used to comfort each other upon facing calamities by saying : ”It is but a few days and Jannah is the promise …”
“and advise each other to be patient and advise one another to be merciful.”
-Al Qur’aan {90:17}
I don't know who needs to hear this out but; please, please don't give up on your deen. It doesn't matter how many sins you have done or for how long, just come back. Start again, try again, pray again, cry, yearn, JUST DON'T GIVE UP.
A man was asked "do you wish to meet Allah?" And He said "of course I do. I have sins and shortcomings. I am not the best version of myself but I have this hope of meeting Allah because I know that as long as I am trying–He will show me mercy."
“Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him." [Bukhari]🥺💌
Thinking well about Allāh is a part of excellent worship of Allāh.
The Prophet ﷺ, Jāmi’ at-Tirmidhī #3970
“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.”

the best thing I ever did was believe in myself
