My days

- Ibn Taymiyyah 

How often do we wonder if Allah is pleased with us? We go to Him with a long list of complaints and we just expect Him to shower us with blessings. We even get angry when Qadr does not seem to be going as we want. How many “complaints” do you think Allah have for us? How negligent have we been? How have we misused His blessings for things He strictly forbade for us? How often do we just simply forget about Him? Forget to thank Him, forget to remember Him, forget to ask forgiveness and forget to show Him out love? With what tongue can we complain for our misfortunes when we don’t even consider how we may have brought it our own selves?

Yesterday I was completely comforted by this beautiful verse which reminded me that, no matter how great my sadness might be, or no matter how lost I feel because of my struggle with Eman, I find myself again and again turning to Allah swt for His Mercy & Forgiveness, knowing that He is Always there

— Quran 94:5-6

Learn to be patient with those who were sent to you to test your iman. Allah put them in your life for a reason.“
