ephemeral musings

““For you to go to sleep every night with no jealousy, spite, or anger in your heart against anyone is the true meaning of happiness. This worldly life isn’t worthy for us to argue with one another over its sake. O Allah, do not make this worldly life our greatest concern.””

“قالوا: تموت بها حبـاًً؟ قلـت: ألا آذكروها علـى قبـري لتحيينـي They asked “do you love her to death?” I said “speak of her over my grave and watch how she brings me back to life”

«A man once asked one of the Salaf: How much Qur’an should we read?

“May Allah grant me the patience to overcome the troubles that lie ahead of me. May He surround me with beautiful people, those whose words will encourage my language to be purified with nothing but praises of Him, only. May He distance me from those who take me away from Him.”

“Faith is tolerance and patience.”

‘Alī b. Abī Tālib said, “The servant [of Allāh] should not fear except his sins, and should not hope except in his Lord. The ignorant should not be ashamed to ask, and the knowledgeable should not be ashamed to say – if he does not know something – “Allāh knows best.” Patience (al-sabr) to faith (Īmān) is like the head to the rest of the body: if the head is cut off, the body will rot. And one who has no patience, has no faith.”

What's the most unbearable test? The kind of test where you will lose your Iman. What does Allah mean with

Over a mere span of thirteen years, the Prophet ﷺ was able to win tens of thousands of hearts and change the very course of history, not by lecturing people, but by speaking clearly, truthfully, and with love. Every single hadith shows that he held conversations tenderly and with care for the one questioning him. So careful was he with people's hearts that the companion Anas bin Malik narrates that during the ten years that he spent with the Prophet ﷺ, never once did he hear a word of impatience or rebuke from him, never once did the Prophet ﷺ say to him, "Why did you do so or why didn't you do so?"
