Lantern of Hope

The time after Asr until Maghrib on Friday is mentioned in many narrations as the hour during which duas are most likely to be accepted.

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ خَيْرَ عُمُرِي آخِرَهُ، وَخَيْرَ عَمَلِي خَوَاتِمَهُ، وَخَيْرَ أَيَّامِي يَوْمَ أَلْقَاكَ

Translation: O Allah, make the best part of my life its end, the best of my deeds the last ones, and the best of my days the day I meet You.

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله writes:

“(The pain) of what has passed can not be removed by grieving over it, but only through:

• Acceptance (i.e. being pleased with Allaah's Decree) (al-Ridhaa)

• Gratitude (al-Hamd)

• Patience (al-Sabr)

• Faith in Predestination

(al-Imaan bil-Qadr)

and the saying of the slave:

“It is the decree of Allāh and what He Wills, He Does” (قَدَّرَ اللَّهُ وَمَا شَاءَ فَعَلَ)."

in the mirror you stare back,

even the wind whispers your name.

wherever i look,

your image plagues me.

no matter to where i escape,

i’ll never outrun you.
