Oh Lord, choose for me what you see is good for me.

Surah Al Hashr Ayah 18-19

Do not think that it was your own self that led you to doing good deeds. Rather, you are a servant whom Allah loved, so He inspired you to do good deeds. Therefore, do not be negligent with this love, lest He abandon you.

[Sayd al-Khatir, p. 466]

"Happy is the one who holds no grudges or hatred in his heart, who restrains his tongue from backbiting, who conceals faults and praises goodness, who focuses on himself rather than tracking others’ lives. Happy is the one who purifies his heart from false assumptions and reaches a state where he wishes good for others as he wishes it for himself."

[Kitāb al-Mudhish, p. 219]

[Ibn Abi al-dunyā, al-faraj | 36]

Is it not enough comfort for you that a single dip in Paradise will take away every bitterness you have ever experienced?

O Allah, be enough for me when I feel I have no one, and fill my heart with patience, strength, and hope in You alone.

Your Lord never took anything from you except that He knew it was harmful, while you were unaware

O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the decline of Your blessings, the removal of our state of well-being, the sudden onset of Your punishment and from all that displeases you.
