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!

Don't expect your spouse to be perfect. He/she is only the dunya version of themselves. Their 'perfect' version is saved for jennah.

Know that transformation sometimes begins with a fall. So never curse the fall. The ground is where humility lives. Take it. Learn it. Breathe it in. And then come back stronger, humbler and more aware of your need for Him. Come back having seen your own nothingness and His greatness.

Happiness, sadness, loss and gain all pass away. What they do to us is what remains.

The poison leaves bit by bit, not all at once. Be patient. You are healing.

Worry is a direct consequence of relying on your own efforts.

People think that tests only come in the form of hardships. Allah also tests us with ease, it's often in the test of ease that we fail most.
