Islam is not a set of rules. It’s a way of seeing life and the world.
Parents test our patience more than anyone else...Being around them keeps you in check...that's what keeps you humbled.
The first thing that Shaytan (Satan) will try to do is get you to stop praying. You know why? Because he has to kill the guard if he wants to penetrate the castle. Once the guard is gone, then Shaytan(satan) can open the floodgates for evil. And he has a lot of patience. He has done this to many people before so he’s experienced as well.
The question is grateful to who? You would think grateful to Allah, but Allah didn’t mention Himself. So it could be grateful to Allah, grateful to your parents, grateful to your teachers, grateful for your health, grateful to friends. Grateful to anyone who’s done anything for you. Grateful to your employer for giving you a job. Appreciative. Grateful is not just an act of saying Alhamdulilah. Grateful is an attitude, it’s a lifestyle, it’s a way of thinking. You’re constantly grateful.
When you help people, don't wait around to hear them say, "Thank you." A lot of times we do good things, but in the back of our mind we're hoping to get some appreciation. But if you make your intentions pure, and you expect only from Allah, He will take more care of you than you could ever imagine.
Guilt is a gift from Allah warning you that what you are doing is violating your soul
For those of you that use YOLO to justify sin: YOLO, you only live once, but then you burn in hell forever.
Nikah is a contract that transfers responsibilities. Therefore know the man you're thinking of marrying, and be sure that he is able to take care of you, more than your dad did. Islam empowers women with honor and dignity. Don't settle for anything less.
Not letting our mood affect the way we treat people is a forgotten sunnah
I look back and half of Ramadan is over in the blink of an eye. Before I know I'll be saying that about my entire life
There's a battle going on inside you in Ramadan, and for 30 days Allah gives you the power to win.
