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.

If there is one recipe for unhappiness it is that: expectations.

This pain in your heart was created to make you yearn less for this life. And to yearn more for jennah. Allahu akbar

To empty the heart does not mean to not love. On the contrary, true love, as God intented it, is purest when it is not based on a false attachment. The process of first emptying the heart can be found in the beginning half of the shahada (declaration of faith).

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

Beware of what you let enter your heart. There will come a day when you'd give anything to remove it.
