When you open your palms and say “ya Rab”, are you aware of who you’ve just addressed? Do you realise that there is no plea you could follow that up with which would be greater than Him? No want, no need. Nothing. He dwarfs them all. Dua is your door to that might and mercy.
Imam Malik رحمه الله describing the importance of holding firmly to the Sunnah:
“The Sunnah is like the ark of Nuh عليه السلام; whoever embarks on it will be successful and whoever remains behind, will drown.”
[مفتاح الجنة في الاحتجاج بالسنة]

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)
Listen, O Liberty, and harken unto us. Turn your gaze towards us, O mother of the earth’s inhabitants. For we are not the offspring of your rival. Speak with the tongue of any one of us; for from one spark the draw straw catches fire. Awaken the sound of your wings the spirit of one of our men; for from one cloud one lightning flash illuminates valley-lanes and mountain- tops. Disperse with your resolve these dark clouds. Descend as a thunderbolt. Destroy like a catapult the props of those thrones erected on bones and skulls; plated with the gold of taxes and bribery; soaked in blood and tears. Listen to us, O Liberty. Have compassion on us, O Daughter of Athens. Rescue us, O Sister of Rome. Save us, O Companion of Moses. Come to our aid, O beloved of Mohammad. Teach us, O bride of Jesus. Strengthen our hearts that we may live; or strengthen the arms of our enemies against us that we may wither, perish and find peace. - Khalil Gibran
It is reported that Masrūq – Allāh have mercy on him – said:
Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal, Al-Zuhd article 2038.
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?
Step in as the woman you want to be. Look like the woman you want to be. Go to places that the woman you want to be would go. Attract the calibre the woman you want to be would attract. Speak like the woman you want to be. Act like the woman you want to be. BE THE WOMAN YOU WANT TO BE .
