When the stars and the mountains prostrate to
Him,
What makes you so special?

“”If You Are Grateful, I will give you more”.”
—(Al Qur’an 14:7)
سلام عليكم بما صبرتم فنعم عقبى الدار

And excellent is the final home.”
وَآخِرُ دَعْوَاهُمْ أَنِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
“… And the last of their call will be, “Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.” [10:10]
“Lower your gaze because you become less of a human every time you stare at a woman and you stare at her like she’s a piece of meat, like she’s an animal. That just means you’ve lost respect for a fellow human being- you’re looking at her like an ape looks at a female ape, like a dog looks at a female dog.That’s all, you’ve turned into an animal. Regain your humanity. Lower your gaze.”
—Nouman Ali Khan (via zuleikha)
“Say, “Who is it that can protect you from Allah if He intends for you an ill or intends for you a mercy?” And they will not find for themselves besides Allah any protector or any helper.”

“I was not wounded in any part of my body, but I had never experienced such intense pain, such a ripping of the nerves, such an ache of the heart.”
—Piscine Molitor Patel, Life of Pi, Yann Martel (via nubivagantmusings)
“Never do I argue with a man with a desire to hear him say what is wrong, or to expose him and win victory over him. Whenever I face an opponent in debate I silently pray - O Lord, help him so that truth may flow from his heart and on his tongue, and so that if truth is on my side, he may follow me; and if truth be on his side, I may follow him.”
—Imam al-Shāfi‘ī (via theconsciousmuslim)
“Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction”

—Ernest Hemingway (via zuleikha)

“Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.”
—Oscar Wilde (via nirvikalpa)
“Be happy for no reason, like a child. If you are happy for a reason, you’re in trouble, because that reason can be taken from you.”

“And when the ignorant (mockingly) address them, they merely say: “Peace.”
—Qur’an (25:63)
Everything happens for a reason.
You just have to be patient as Allaah unfolds His Plans.
May Allaah swt ease all your affairs and grant each and every one of you the best. May He keep you all steadfast upon the deen and may He guide all those who are lost.
Another amazing day. Alhamdulillah. Some days you wake up and think, “I give up, I won’t make it through today,” but He never lets you down. He keeps you going and then, suddenly, you can’t even remember what you were worried about. I was so drained for so long, so tired… and now I look forward to getting up in the mornings. Now I feel like, I can make it. I will not take no for an answer. He gave me the strength to make it through another day. May He continue to do so insha’Allah. May we all reach our ultimate goal insha’Allah.
Every day is a blessing. Make the most of it insha’Allah.
Alhamdulillah. SubhanAllah. <3
فمن يؤمن بربه فلا يخاف بخسا ولا رهقا
And whoever believes in his Lord will not fear deprivation or burden.
