Zoozve, My Beloved

Abul ‘Āliyyah [may Allāh have mercy on him] said:

“A time will come upon the people wherein there hearts will be devoid and derelict of the Qur’ān.

They will find neither sweetness nor acquire any delight by its recitation.

If they fall short of performing what they have been commanded to do, they will say: ‘Certainly, Allāh is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.’

If they commit that which they have been forbidden from doing, they will say: ‘We shall be forgiven, we have not associated any partners unto Allāh.’

Their affairs will be based on covetousness [and false hope], possessing no truth [and no sincerity].”

Kitāb az-Zuhd, 1714 | Al-Imām Ahmad bin Hanbal [may Allāh have mercy on him]

Tarq-e-ta'aluqaat pe roya na tu na Mai, lekin ye kya k Chain se soya na tu na mai...

And the foremost ˹in faith˺ will be the foremost ˹in Paradise˺. They are the ones nearest ˹to Allah˺, In the Gardens of Pleasure.

Surah Al Waqi'ah Ayah 10-14

Robert Goolrick, from The End of the World as We Know It: Scenes from a Life

it breaks my eyes. to not see you around.

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

“Our lack of intimacy with God causes a void that we try to fill with the frailest of substitutes.”

Ya Allāh (ﷻ) grant me the strength to battle laziness and sleep, so I may wake up for Tahajjud and Fajr daily.

i have a little switch in my head. its two settings are “do everything immediately” and “do nothing at all”. i do not control what the switch is set to, and there is no third setting
