“Allah gives you before you ask, and gives you while you are asking, and gives you without you asking.”

If Allah wants to grant you something, He will cause to come to you those you would never have imagined, and He may bring it about through someone who does not even wish it for you—so that you may know that God ordains what He wills!

‏المنفلوطي.

May Allah's blessings upon you continue to increase with every passing year, and may your Eids always be filled with joy.

Whoever seeks refuge in Allah finds tranquility.

ابن الجوزي | صيد الخاطر (ص ٤٩٤)

No matter how difficult your request is, remember the power of Allah.

"He who feigns illness becomes ill, he who feigns poverty becomes poor, he who humbles himself is humiliated, he who is negligent is degraded, he who holds himself in high regard is honored, he who fortifies himself is protected, and he who seeks refuge is safeguarded. You are the sum of what you dictate to yourself."

The one busy building himself has no time to tear others down. A person who is content with his life sees focusing on others as a waste of time, while someone with an empty life tries to fill his lack by interfering and provoking others. Peace of mind begins with one belief: staying away from such people is true dignity.

Sometimes a person does not realize that Allah is leading him to his safety through something that seems like denial, or along a path he did not choose. A door closes, and he thinks he has been deprived, when in reality he has been saved. Things become difficult, and he sees them as a trial, while they are mercy moving ahead of him in unseen ways. For Allah, Glorified is He, may withhold so that you are given, and may distance so that you are protected.

المرجع: سورة السجدة، الآية 17

After the first days of Eid pass, comes a moment of reflection: in Paradise, all our days will be Eid—where we will see Allah, enjoy the company of loved ones, stay connected with family, and have radiant, smiling faces, dressed in silk and fine garments. There will be no tasks to complete, no tears, and no separation.
