Kindness is a mark of faith, and whoever is not kind has no faith.

Prophet Mohammed (Peace Be Upon Him)

We don’t always have control over what happens in life, but we do have control over how we percieve events. Islam allows us to tear through the darkness and see the light.

Another day, another opportunity. If you’re still alive be grateful, say alhumdulillah (praise be to God), and show you mean it by making today count.

Imran Hussein (via Twitter)

Never get tired of doing good deeds. The most beloved deeds to Allah (God) are not the biggest but the most consistent, even if it is small.

You never know which good deed could be your ticket to jannah (paradise).

Don’t spend so much time grieving over the past or worrying about the future that you miss out on the present.

The moment you’re in right now can serve as an expiation of your past and elevation of your future.

Dr. Omar Suleiman (via Twitter)

The most beloved of people to Allah is the one who brings most benefit to people, and the most beloved of deeds to Allah is making a Muslim happy, or relieving their hardship, or paying off their debt, or warding off hunger from them.

Prophet Mohammad (PBUH)

If you could see the entire plan the Almighty has for you, would you still complain? He is indeed the Best Planner. If you could see the end results of all your trials, would you still be miserable? Remember, there’s a silver lining in every challenge. Keep going. Trust Him.

Know that pain comes with standing by the truth just like all the Prophets endured. Faith does not mean you will not have sadness, like Ya’qub (Jacob) was sad for having been separated from [his son] Yusuf (Joseph); you cannot be reduced to a past mistake either like Musa (Moses) was not in regards for killing a man accidentally; people degrading you does not take away from Allah honouring you just like Mariam (Mary). These stories are live and forever relevant. Make an effort to ponder.

By the one Who has my soul in his hand, if you were not to sin, then Allah would remove you, and bring another nation who sins, and who then seek forgiveness from Allah; and He would forgive them.

Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), Sahih Muslim 2748 a

Is your heart at ease? A diseased heart won’t be at ease. If you want to feel the sweetness of worship, cleanse your heart. Get rid of pride, hatred, envy & anything that gets in the way of being fully focused on the Almighty. It won’t happen overnight but you’ll get there.
