عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ أَتَى جِبْرِيلُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذِهِ خَدِيجَةُ قَدْ أَتَتْ مَعَهَا إِنَاءٌ فِيهِ إِدَامٌ أَوْ طَعَامٌ أَوْ شَرَابٌ فَإِذَا هِيَ أَتَتْكَ فَاقْرَأْ عَلَيْهَا السَّلَامَ مِنْ رَبِّهَا وَمِنِّي وَبَشِّرْهَا بِبَيْتٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ قَصَبٍ لَا صَخَبَ فِيهِ وَلَا نَصَبَ

اللَّهُمَّ بِعِلْمِكَ الْغَيْبَ وَقُدْرَتِكَ عَلَى الْخَلْقِ أَحْيِنِي مَا عَلِمْتَ الْحَيَاةَ خَيْرًا لِي وَتَوَفَّنِي إِذَا عَلِمْتَ الْوَفَاةَ خَيْرًا لِي وَأَسْأَلُكَ خَشْيَتَكَ فِي الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ وَكَلِمَةَ الإِخْلاَصِ فِي الرِّضَا وَالْغَضَبِ وَأَسْأَلُكَ نَعِيمًا لاَ يَنْفَدُ وَقُرَّةَ عَيْنٍ لاَ تَنْقَطِعُ وَأَسْأَلُكَ الرِّضَاءَ بِالْقَضَاءِ وَبَرْدَ الْعَيْشِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَلَذَّةَ النَّظَرِ إِلَى وَجْهِكَ وَالشَّوْقَ إِلَى لِقَائِكَ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ ضَرَّاءَ مُضِرَّةٍ وَفِتْنَةٍ مُضِلَّةٍ اللَّهُمَّ زَيِّنَّا بِزِينَةِ الإِيمَانِ وَاجْعَلْنَا هُدَاةً مُهْتَدِينَ

إِنَّ فِي الْجَسَدِ مُضْغَةً إِذَا صَلَحَتْ صَلَحَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ، وَإِذَا فَسَدَتْ فَسَدَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ‏.‏ أَلاَ وَهِيَ الْقَلْب

I love the Quran. The Quran is my life, the oxygen for my soul, the rope I cling to on the precipice of a cliff, and my heart's greatest passion. The Quran is a sublime text, it is a gift from the One whose words are all Truth, who gave us the great gift of experiencing language, the priceless divine gift of words. Words are signs of the state of a person's heart and my heart soaks in the Quran like a sponge, and when a light shines through my heart, Quranic words reflect upon the universe and clarify it like a magnifying glass. The Quran is my honor, my key to eternal peace, my diploma of the little knowledge God taught me, and the reason for my existence. Speech is the first light that opens for a finite being to experience the eternal God. And speech that turns into action, is the second light. Quran is the best speech.

I'm working tirelessly, often sleep-deprived, every single day scheduled by my due dates. Of course, I'm learning, and am grateful for it, but it doesn't show in my grades. I can't physically keep up anymore. If I ever become a teacher, I hope I remember this moment. Don't get upset if students didn't read your syllabus. Keep repeating things. Humans need repetition to learn. Be ever gentle and forgiving and kind. But here's an issue: no human can ever truly "judge" another in every possible sense. Everything is like a work of translation. But God judges us and that is the ultimate relief.

God deprives His beloved servant of power, to show Himself more, so the servant loves Him more.

i am impatient and get angry, especially under stress, always remember that. don't claim to be purified, even as a qari of Qur'an.

God asks something easy from us.
