In any nation, the hypocrites do not become apparent except during times of fitnah (severe tests and hardships).

Everything you have is on loan. Foolish is the one who gets attached to a loan.

There's a special place in my heart for the ones who were with me at my lowest and still loved me when I wasn't very loveable.

Try not to confuse attachment with love. Attachment is about fear and dependency, and has more to do with love of self than love of another. Love without attachment is the purest love because it isn't about what others can give you because your empty. It is about what you can give others because you're already full.

Never lose hope. Stay close to Allah and when you mess up, go back to Him. Never, ever stop going back to Him. Repent often. Cry to Allah. And hold on tight-with your life-to His remembrance and to prayer. If you do this, you may get wet, but insha Allah never drown in this ocean of dunya.

Allah manages everything in the heavens and earth—the sun, the moon, the stars—with perfection, and yet we don’t trust Him to manage our lives!

Be grateful for the wound that pushes you towards God.
