So often we experience things in life, and yet never see the connections between them. When we are given hardship, or feel pain, we often fail to consider that the experience may be the direct cause or result of another action or experience. Sometimes we fail to recognize the direct connection between the pain in our lives and our relationship with Allah SWT

Any beauty you see in me is only a reflection of Him, any ugliness, a reflection of my self.

If you want to focus more on Allah in your prayers, focus more on Him outside your prayers.

If you think you're too far from Allah to return, and your 'past' continues to own you, just remember that Malik ibn Dinar (RA) was an alcoholic, and Omar (RA) was on his way to assassinate the Prophet (pbuh) before they became two of the greatest souls to walk the earth!

Yes, the heart breaks. But, it also heals.

There is meaning in all things. But are you paying attention?

Beauty attracts beauty. If you want to know what you are, look at what you are drawn to.
