I was sitting and wondering what love really is? And then I realised LOVE is a very beautiful feeling and it is never meant to hurt us. It’s meant to nourish us, make us happy, be there for us, and most importantly bring us closer to الله جالا جلاله.

LOVE is not when people stay up all night and talk to each other. LOVE is not people going and hanging out with each other and involving each other in all kinds of Haram present out there.

But, LOVE is when a person tries to protect your Jannah. LOVE is when a person worries about your akhira. LOVE is when a person wants to hold your hand and enter Jannah together. LOVE is protecting each other from the fire of Jahanam. Every single day, that person’s only motive is to bring you more and more closer to الله جالا جلاله because they don’t have the heart to see you drifting away from الله جالا جلاله. And they put in every effort to make this love halal as soon as possible.

I read it somewhere, “When you love someone you protect their Akhira.” And how true is that.

So, when you see people out their claiming to love you please know this, ‘if a person really really loves you they will never risk your akhira.’

"I cannot get up to perform the night prayers, can you explain to me the cure?!"

Ibraheem ibn Adham رحمه الله said:

"do not disobey Allāh during the day and He will give you the ability to stand before Him during the night; for your standing before Him at night is one of the greatest honours and the disobedient one is not deserving of such an honour!"

Marguerite Duras, from The Easy Life

“If a person does not naturally possess the characteristic of patience, he can attain this characteristic by acting as if he does possess it, until it eventually becomes second nature.
