I get it. Allah put me through it first so I could rise back up and help those around me. He trains you first. Then He sends the people to you and you to the people.
And so in the heart of such a believer is a sort of paradise. That is the paradise that Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah have mercy on his soul, spoke of when he said: 'Truly, there is a Heaven in this world, [and] whoever does not enter it, will not enter the Heaven of the next world.' And in that heaven, complete peace is not something of a moment. It is a state, eternal.
Most of all, we must never be deceived. We must never allow ourselves to think that anything in this world succeeds, fails, is given, taken, done, or undone without Allah. It is only by our connection to our Creator that we rise or fall in life, in our relationship with our world—and with all of humanity.
You keep only what you give...to Him.
Stop trying to make this life into what it cannot and never was intended to be: jennah. Only then will it stop breaking your heart.
T]here is no other purpose of my existence except to know, love and get closer to God. This is the one and only reason why I was created. And this is the most essential realization, as it defines everything else I do or believe. It defines all things around me, and everything I experience in life.
If you worshipped Muhammad, know that Muhammad is dead. But if you worshipped Allah, know that Allah never dies.
I think we seek out people who we hope will fix what our childhood broke.
To me, jennah is the place where you get to be with the people you love, including those you can't always be with in this life. And being with them forever.
