May Allah SWT give us perspective & understanding.

When you’re hurt by people who share the same blood as you, then just remember Yusuf (AS), who was betrayed by his own brothers.

If you find your parents opposing you, remember Ibrahim (AS), whose father led him to the fire.

If you’re stuck with a problem where there’s no way out, remember Yunus (AS), stuck in the belly of a whale.

If you’re ill & your body cries with pain, remember Ayoob (AS) who was more ill than you.

When someone slanders you, remember Ai’sha (RA) who was slandered throughout the city.

When you’re lonely, recall Aadam (AS) who was created alone.

When you can’t see any logic around you, think of Nuh (AS) who built an ark without questioning.

If you are mocked by your own relatives then think of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

Allah (SWT) put these Prophets to trial, so that later generations may learn a lesson of patience & perseverance.

istiqamah: mudah di bibir, susah nak buat.

HEBATNYA DIRIMU KERANA HEBATNYA HUBUNGANMU DGN ALLAH...


“Sewaktu saat-saat akhir serangan atas Konstantinople, Sultan Muhammad Al-Fateh bertanya: Siapa di kalanganmu yang tidak pernah meninggalkan solat jemaah? Tentera-tenteranya senyap.Beliau berkata: Aku tidak pernah meninggalkan solat jemaah sejak aku mula mengenali solat ketika umurku 7 tahun”. 
(Sultan Muhammad Al-Fateh)

Allah, Who created your heart, can most definitely heal it.

"How is your heart with Allah today?"

Often what makes us fall into despair is focusing on the wrong things. 
For example, if we’ve sinned, we focus on the sin, rather than the Most Merciful. 
If we’re broken, we focus on the break instead of Al Jabbar, the One who mends. 
If we are in pain, we focus on the pain itself, instead of on the One who removes all pain. 
If we are wounded, we focus on the wound instead of on the One who heals all wounds. 
If we’re scared, we focus on the fear, instead of the Protector. 
And if we’re facing a problem, we see the problem, but not the One who can solve it. 
We see the lion, but not the lion tamer. 
We see the imperfections of dunya, but not the perfection of Allah. 
We see the immediate, but not the Tomorrow, the tree, but not the fruit, 
the thorn, but not the rose. All our pain, all our despair, all our hopelessness, stems from looking at the creation, instead of the Creator. 


Ask yourself: what is your heart looking at?
