Blessings
Don’t think that someone else is more blessed than you are...
★ 7 Qualities Allah does not Love ★
Twin Brothers
~*~ Patience and victory are twin brothers, for victory comes with patience, relief comes with distress and ease comes with hardship. ~*~
"Surely, Allah is with those who are As-Sabirun (the patient).” (Al-Anfal 8:46)
"Surely, Allah is with those who are As-Sabirun (the patient).” (Al-Anfal 8:46)
"Patience is that the heart does not feel anger towards that which is destined (for you) and that the mouth does not complain."
-Ibn Al-Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah (Rahimahullah)
"... (Remember,) whoever abstains from asking others, Allah will make him contented, and whoever tries to make himself self-sufficient, Allah will make him self-sufficient. And whoever remains patient, Allah will make him patient. Nobody can be given a blessing better and greater than patience."-Ibn Al-Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah (Rahimahullah)
Sahih Al-Bukhari Book 24 Hadith 548
Abu Ad-Dardaa:
“It is better to advise your friend than to severe relations with him, for no one can take the place of your friend if you lose him. Be generous and lenient with your friend, and do not allow an envious person to come between you and him, for in this case, your friend might die tomorrow and you grieve for him. However, how could you grieve after he dies, when you have shunned him when he was still alive?”
(Sifaat us-Safwah, 1/364)
Be friend with those who advice u to be a good person,
He, who reminds you the akerah,
When you sit with them you gain knowledge...
When you sit with them, your emaan goes high
You gain love for your Lord ,
You learn to fear Him more,
And stay away from SINNS!
Narrated Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him): I heard Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) saying: “A man follows his friend’s religion; you should be careful who you make friends with.” [At- Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud]

In the narration of Kumayl ibn Ziyaad from ‘Alee in which he said:
“The hearts are Allaah’s vessels on His earth. The most beloved of them to Allaah the Almighty is the most sensitive and pure.” This is a good example, for, if the heart is sensitive and soft, it easily accepts knowledge, and the knowledge then becomes firmly rooted in it and [the heart] is affected by it. On the other hand, if [the heart] is hard and harsh it is difficult for it to accept knowledge.

Keeping Making Dua
Don’t ever underestimate du’a (supplication/prayer). What is the value of du’a? That you are transferring a situation from your power and ability to the power and ability of Allah. You are moving obstacles from yourself to the One who has no obstacles."
-Shaykh Abul-Fadl.
The Almighty answers every call of ours for as long as we don’t lose hope. We must continue seeking enthusiastically even if it means for years.
Repeating a call constantly is a GREAT act of worship. One day, when the time is right, we will get what we had been asking for all along.
Never lose hope in the Mercy of the Almighty, as He knows when it is best for us to get what we want, if it is good for us.
Those who aim to please the Creator will always be pleased BY Him. He never lets us down but we let ourselves down by engaging in sin.
~Mufti Ismail Menk
When making a dua, expect the best from Allah.
The One who has given you life and provided for you all these years, will not let you down if you turn to Him. :)
“Don’t ever leave off making du’aa nor allow what [bad deeds] you commit to prevent you from it, for indeed Allaah answered the du’aa of Iblees (the Devil) and he is the most evil of creation [when he said to Allaah] “Grant me respite until the Day in which they will be resurrected.’ He (Allaah) said, ‘Indeed you are from those who are granted respite.’ [7:14-15]”
— Ibn `Uyaynah (Rahimahullaah), Ash-Shu’aab 2/1147

“If you make intense supplication and the timing of the answer is delayed, do not despair of it. His reply to you is guaranteed; but in the way He chooses, not the way you choose, and at the moment He desires, not the moment you desire.

♥ Keep making Dua.
Even If They Don't Seem To Be Answered.
Even If Things Don't Make Sense.
Even If Up Is Down And Down Is Up.
Because Everytime You Make Dua You Testify...
You Testify That Allah Can Hear You.
You Testify That Allah has the power to answer your prayers.
That Allah is the only one to whom you Ask.
If 'you ever give up'...
It's Not That You Are Giving Up In Yourself.
Rather You Are Giving Up In Allah...''
So,
In sha Allah, We Will Never Give Up In What We Ask For.
Don't treat Dua like a medicine where you only use it in times of need. Rather, treat Dua like the Air which u continuously breathe♥ Keep making Dua.
Even If They Don't Seem To Be Answered.
Even If Things Don't Make Sense.
Even If Up Is Down And Down Is Up.

We are in the need of Allah for the betterment of this world and the next and for this reason we turn to Allah in dua and Allah loves to hear from us to make dua. Allah test us He cause hardship fall upon us so that we turn to Him, so we beg Him and ask Him.
Dua is a ibadah, it is a conversation with Allah, our Creator, our Lord and Master, the All Knowing, the All Powerful
Dua is not a name applied to the beseeching words uttered by the tongue, but it is the urge and the yearning of our hearts. When we confess of our absolute helplessness and incompetence, which is the essence of servitude, then the doors of Allah’s mercy do open for us. Try to memorize more dua, more adhkar and more importantly try to understand what you are saying.

"WORDS OF REMEMBRANCE ‘Ali R.A said, “Faatimah used to complain about how she suffered from using the handmill and from grinding. When she got the news that some prisoners of war had been brought to Allaah’s Messenger (pbuh), she went to him to ask for a maid-servant. However, she couldn’t find him so she told ‘Aa’ishah of her need. When the Prophet (pbuh) returned, ‘Aa’ishah informed him and he came to our house after we had already gone to bed. [On seeing the Prophet (pbuh), we were about to get up], but he said, ‘Stay where you are,’ and I felt the coolness of the Prophet’s feet touching my chest. Then he said, “Shall I tell you something which is better than what you asked for? When you go to bed, say: Allaahu Akbar [Allaah is the greatest] 34 times, Al-hamdu lil-laah [All the praises are for Allaah] 33 times, and Sub-haanal-laah [Glorified be Allaah] 33 times. That is better for you than what you requested.”"

A pauper
Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Holy Prophet (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him) once asked his Companions: “Do you know who is a pauper?” The Companions replied that a pauper is a person who had no money or property. The Holy Prophet (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him) elucidating the point said: “A pauper from among my followers (Ummah) is one who will come on the Day of Judgement with a record of Salah (Prayers) and Sawm (fasting) and Zakat (payment of poor due) but also he had abused somebody, slandered someone, usurped the goods of another person, had killed someone or beaten yet another person. Then all the oppressed persons will receive a part of the aggressor’s good deeds. Should his good deeds fall short (of his aggression), then the aggrieved person’s sins and faults will be transferred from them to him, and he will be thrown into the Fire (of Hell). (Muslim)
"Don't show pleasure in somebody's downfall, for you have no knowledge of what the future holds in store for you."
{Ali ibn Abi Taalib radiyAllahu'anhu}
{Ali ibn Abi Taalib radiyAllahu'anhu}
Oppressor & Oppressed
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
He (peace be upon him) said,
"BY PREVENTING HIM FROM OPPRESSING (OTHERS), FOR THAT IS HOW TO HELP THEM."
Ten years later, the awesome consequences of the criminal assault[“Operation Shock and Awe.” ] are clear. More than a trillion dollars spent, almost five thousand American lives lost, more than 32,000 Americans wounded, estimates of a million dead Iraqis and almost five million displaced, an epidemic of Iraqi birth defects from “depleted” uranium, daily bombings, devastated public services and the dismemberment of the country. Yet, ten years later, no one, not one government official, has been held accountable. The obvious question is: how is it that, in light of one of the most heinous crimes ever committed by a State, there have been no investigations, prosecutions or convictions of the officials responsible for this assault?
The lack of accountability is even more incomprehensible in light of the fact that it is now widely acknowledged that the real reason for the Western invasion of Iraq had little to do with its concern about weapons of mass destruction and everything to do with its desire to steal Iraq’s oil.

Millions of people in Iraq have been killed, displaced, terrorised, detained, tortured or impoverished under the hammer of US and UK military, economic, political, ideological and cultural attacks. The very fabric and being of the country has been subject to intentional destruction. This destruction constitutes one of the gravest international crimes ever committed. All humanity should unite in refusing that law — by failing to assure justice for Iraqi victims — enables this destruction to be the opening precedent of the 21st century.
Pray
Whenever you pray to Allah, remember: He knows what we do not know. He will answer our prayers according to His plan.
“When you make dua, it is a sign that Allah (SWT) loves you and has intended good for you.” — Imam Ibn al-Qayyim
Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah (rahimahullaah) said:
"Du'aa is one of the most beneficial cures and the enemy of fitnah (evils and trials), wards it off and treats it, prevents it to happen and cures it if it happens. Du'aa is the weapon of the believer.”
(ad-Da', p11)

Recite Quran
Aboo Moosaa al-Asha’aree reported that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said, “The believer who recites the Qur’aan is like a citrus fruit – its fragrance is pleasing and its taste is sweet. The believer who does not recite the Qur’aan is like a dry date – it has no fragrance but its taste is sweet. The hypocrite who recites the Qur’aan is like a basil – its fragrance is sweet, but its taste is bitter. The hypocrite who does not recite the Qur’aan is like a colocynth – it has no smell, and its taste is bitter” (Muslim)
mistake
"It’s painful to admit a mistake, be gentle with those who are at fault."
-AbdulBary Yahya
-AbdulBary Yahya
Sometimes it takes a very big mistake we make in life to transform us into the best of people.'
-Mufti Menk
“O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you.”- Hadith Qudsi ♥-Mufti Menk
Making mistakes is the natural consequence of man's God-given free will and the finite attributes with which he was endowed.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) was reported by Anas ibn Maalik to have said: "All of Aadam's descendents constantly err, but the best of those who constantly err are those who constantly repent." [Ibn Maajah, vol.2, p 418, no. 3428.]
