In the world, one gets respect through wealth, whereas in the Hereafter one gets respect through virtuous deeds. — Quoted from Sayyiduna Umar Farooq رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ (Al- Munabbihat, pp. 3)

growth feels like loss before it looks like freedom.

I could forgive everything and everyone except forgiving myself. 💔

If you don’t forgive yourself you can’t forgive others. Because you end up having so much self hatred forgiving others becomes second nature and you end up going down a dark path of depression. When you forgive yourself you learn to accept your flaws and mistakes, you understand perfectionism doesn’t exist but optimism does. Pray to Allah Almighty for forgiveness, and then allow yourself to be content with His plan. Forgiveness doesn’t come from letting go but holding on to your Faith, holding onto your purpose. And when you focus on your purpose you find peace. — wordsbyhisheart

Ya Allah, forgive us all for our sins, whether intentional or unintentional, known or unknown. Purify our heart, help us pardon and forgive those who have hurt us, and keep us all away from deceitful people. Guide every decision we make and keep us all firm on the straight path. Ameen 🤲🏽
