Don’t get complacent with your blessings. The more grateful you are, the more the Almighty will send your way. The way forward is to keep nurturing what you already have. Learn to appreciate His Gifts. To be grateful is to find blessings in everything. A powerful attitude!

Mufti Ismail Menk (via Twitter)

What is love? Love is when you can’t sleep without having prayed Isha (last prayer), love is when you can’t eat without saying Bismillah (in the name of Allah) first, and love is when you say Alhamdolillah (thanks to Allah) remembering all that Allah has blessed you with. The true love we all long for and strive to find our entire lives can only be found in Him. Learn to love and obey Him first and then you’ll find someone worth loving for His sake. Cause, wallahi (I swear by Allah), if you don’t love Him (how can you not love Him?) there will always be something missing in your life, there will always be sadness in your life. One of the 99 names of Allah is Al-Wadud, meaning ‘The Loving One’. “And he is the Forgiving the Affectionate” – Qur’an [85:14]

Be discrete in order to achieve what you want, for everyone who is blessed in envied.

Prophet Mohammad (PBUH)

Body is purified by water, self (nafs) is purified by tears, intellect is purified by knowledge, and the soul is purified by love.

Imam Ali (AS) (via Pinterest)

The 12 months are like the 12 sons of Yaqub. Just as Yusuf (as) was the most beloved son to Yaqub (as), Ramadan is the most beloved month to Allah. Just as Allah forgave 11 brothers through the dua (supplication) of 1 (Yusuf), He forgives 11 months with the duas of 1 (Ramadan).

Ibn Aljawzi (via Twitter, Dr. Omar Suleiman)

A glimpse of Allah’s limitless mercy is that He sends the right people at the right time with the right words/gestures to remind you that you are not alone, to reinforce that you are not forsaken, to repair your weak faith so that you can resolve your life with hikmah (wisdom) and to restore your complete tawakkol (trust) in Him so that you rely on Him alone.

Blessed are those who are able to pull themselves out of self pity and depression because they eventually realize the intensity of being taken care of by Ar Rahman (The Most Merciful) Himself.

About 70 percent of Muslims fast during Ramadan. Out of those 70 percent less than 5 percent get the real essence of what Ramadan is about.

Sh. Hasan Ali

If someone understands or studies the foundations of science and the philosophy of science this [Darwinism] wont become a problem for you anymore.

Hamza Tzortzis, author of The Divine Reality: God, Islam & The Mirage of Atheism

Never doubt about the things He has planned for you,

Why?

He may have deprived your soul from the warmth of the sun simply because you needed the calmness of the rain.

I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it’s not the answer.
