If I knew then what I know now,
I´d know what to do,
but I only know what I know now,
because I didn´t know then.
If you ever feel low, just remember that Allah سبحانه و تعالى saw value in you and chose you to be among His believing slaves over many others
Alhamdulillah! ❤️🩹
just when you're feeling low / unmotivated, remind yourself of this verse;
وَلَلْـَٔاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
and the next life is certainly far better for you than this one.
- Qur'ān {93:4}
«intending to commit a sin»
Ibn al-Jawzī raḥimahullāh said:
"If you are intending to commit a sin, remember the day you will be put in a coffin."
al-tabṣirah, 277
"Ya Allah, If I am to fall in love, let me touch the heart of someone whose heart is attached to you."
Ibn Qayyim (رحمه الله) said:
“The soul will never become pious and purified except through undergoing afflictions. It is the same as gold that can never be pure except removing all the base metals in it.”
[Al-Fawaa’id, p365]

Dua for seeking refuge from Anxiety and worry:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالْحُزْنِ وَالْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَالْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ وَضَلَعِ الدَّيْنِ وَغَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ
O Allah, I seek refuge in you from grief and sadness, from weakness and laziness, from miserliness and cowardice, from being overcome by debt and overpowered by others.
somewhere between then and now, long hair became hijab, tight dresses became abayas, music became Quran, crying became praying, going out became going to the masjid, buying new clothes became giving to charity, disrespecting became distancing, somewhere inbetween she was lost and He guided. Alhamdulillah
رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الْحِسَابُ
"Our Lord! Forgive me and my parents, and (all) the believers on the Day when the judgement will come to pass."
“Trying to forget someone you love is like trying to remember someone you never met.”

Observe the prayer from the decline of the sun until the darkness of the night and recite the Qur'an in the early dawn. Verily, the recitation of the Qur'an in the early dawn is ever witnessed ˹by angels˺.
[Qur'an 17:78]
لا حول و لا قوة إلا بالله،
Tonight, innocent people are dying in several places in Sudan as the war has officially broke out as of this morning, and yet there is so little coverage about it. Black Muslim lives that are located in Africa ? Nobody cares.

“There’s a Japanese phrase that I like: koi no yokan. It doesn’t mean love at first sight. It’s closer to love at second sight. It’s the feeling when you meet someone that you’re going to fall in love with them. Maybe you don’t love them right away, but it’s inevitable that you will.”
— Nicola Yoon, The Sun Is Also a Star
