“When a bird is alive it eats ants, yet when it dies, the ants eat it. Circumstances can change at any time and the tables usually turn over a period of time. Do not oppress, despise or hurt anyone during your lifetime. You may be powerful today but remember, time is more powerful than you! Just like one tree makes a million match sticks, yet when the time comes then only a single match is needed to burn a million trees.”
—Mufti Ismail Menk

“Don’t expect your love to be accepted. Love because it justifies your life.”

“Every time your head touches
the ground in prayers, remember,
this was to teach you to
put down that load of ego
which bars you from entering
the chamber of the Beloved.” —Abū-Sa’īd Abul-Khayr (via theconsciousmuslim)

Ya Allah I leave everything up to you. While I may know what I want, only You know what I need. You know what's best for me and I trust that. So Ya Allah, I ask you to grant me what's best for me and keep away that which will not benefit me.
“Thank you Allah for everything you gave me, for everything you didn’t give me, for everything you protected me from- that which I know and that which I’m not even aware of, thank you for blessings that I didn’t even realize were blessings, thank you from guidance when I felt like I was slipping, and thank you for every thing else because no matter how many things I try to list, at the end of the day, I can’t even come close to thanking you enough.”
