Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Be prompt in doing good deeds (before you are overtaken) by turbulence which would be like a part of the dark night. A man would be a believer in the morning and turn to disbelief in the evening, or he would be a believer in the evening and turn disbeliever in the morning, and would sell his Faith for worldly goods."

[Muslim]

Commentary: This Hadith tells that the Day of resurrection will be preceded by a long chain of calamities. Because of the rush of these calamities, religion and Faith will loose their value in people. There will be a race for wealth, so much so that people would not hesitate to compromise their religion and Faith to acquire wealth. People will rapidly change their faces This is what actually happening. In this situation true believers are exhorted to adhere strictly to Faith and perform noble deeds without delay.

It was said:

"Beware of anger, as it corrupts faith (iman) just as how patience (sabr) is honey and anger is the enemy of the intellect ('aql)."

The reality of anger is that: it is the seething feeling of the blood boiling in the heart of a person so as to seek revenge (intiqam). Whenever a person becomes angry the fire of anger is ignited which overcomes the blood of the heart and spreads to the veins and reaching the highest parts of the body just as how water rises when it fills a vessel. This is why a person’s face, eyes and skin will become red and this exposes the redness of the blood.

‎Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“The best life is attained by the blessed through patience, and they rise to the highest degrees through their gratitude. So they fly on the wings of patience and gratitude to gardens of delight (i.e paradise).

That is the bounty of Allāh that he bestows upon whomsoever He will, and Allāh is the owner of great bounty.”

[‘Uddat as-Sabireen]

‎Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله: Whoever’s Ramadan was correct and safe (from evil), the rest of his year ‎will be safe (from evil Insha'Allāh).”

‎[Zaad al-Ma’ad | 11/398]

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

Some of the Salaf said:

“Were it not for the trials in this world, we would be arriving bankrupt on the Day of Judgement.”

[Zaad al-Ma’aad | 4/176]

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

‎“Whoever is created for Jannah, will forever be afflicted with calamities.”

‎[al-Fawa’īd | 36]

📌 The pain of what has passed:

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله writes:

“(The pain) of what has passed can not be removed by grieving over it, but only through:

• Acceptance (i.e. being pleased with Allaah's Decree) (al-Ridhaa)

• Gratitude (al-Hamd)

• Patience (al-Sabr)

• Faith in Predestination

(al-Imaan bil-Qadr)

and the saying of the slave:

.It is the decree of Allāh and what He Wills, He Does” (قَدَّرَ اللَّهُ وَمَا شَاءَ فَعَلَ)."

[Zaad al-Ma`aad | 2-327]

There's a constant battle going inside my head.

There's a constant battle going inside my head. My conscience(Zameer) conflicting with my Nafs. I keep hearing some voices from time to time coming from inside of me, in my mind. I don't understand where do they come from or it is Shaytan who's whispering them in my ears. Stopping me from approaching opportunities. Ceasing my capacity of rational thinking. Making me self-judgmental. Compelling me to start doubting my ownself, my own capabilities. Making me saying things to myself like you're worthless, you’re lazy, you’re stupid, you’re unlovable, etc. Which is eventually making me hate myself. However, forgetting how could you hate yourself? Despite, When Allahﷻ loves you the most. Heﷻ loves you more than seventy mothers. When our prophet Muhammad ﷺ loves you the most. How?

Maybe the reason behind procrastinating over everything is also these voices. Making me lazier day by day. And when I procrastinate, I judge myself pretty harshly, telling myself I’m not a good person, I'm just like a sack of potatoes. Moreover, what concerns me is that everyone is productive and are achieving their goals, except me. Asking myself why I'm not good enough?Somedays, these voices inside of me don't even let me sleep. Spending nights overthinking. Yet, i forget that we're human beings. Our lord created us as humans. And every human has different capabilities and potentialities on the basis of which, we work accordingly. We make mistakes, making us aware of what needs to be changed in order to improve. Besides, every human has their vices too. With whom a person constantly battles or either befriend them, that means to become slave of 'em. These vices or lusts are also aroused by our nafs. When Shaytan and nafs team up against us. They trick us in different different ways with gimmicks and deceptions, to make us go astray. But we should stay steadfast on our deen, and ask Allahﷻ for help and protection from evil. However, we make mistakes, we learn and we overcome. Nevertheless, we do keep repeating some of our mistakes untill we learn from them. Though, people don't see our struggles and just kept throwing their words as knives. They don't think that their mouths could work like a bows and words like arrows. And could criticality damage one's feelings. Even if they kill someone, someday. But who cares. And it is also their words behind the growth of these voices. It isn't easy to win over these voices. It is our conscience which help us to keep fighting the inner battle, against the things that we don't speak out. These troubles we've got may arises through the traumatic events we experience or have experienced. It just end up making a chaos inside your head. It feels like a graveyard, occasionally we end up burying something inside of us. In the end, what we came to realise is that these voices are nothing but created by our own Nafs, when befriended by Shaytan. ["Auzubillahi-Minashaitan-Nirajeem": I seek refuge in Allah from the outcast Shaitan.] And, as for the thoughts, it can be seen as an example of a pathway where different passersby passes and it's upto you to whom do you have to pay attention to. If you gave your attention to the wrong one, it will eventually harm you. And for the right one, it will be beneficial for you. ["In-Sha-Allah": if Allah wills.] And to make a difference between the right and wrong, our conscience works. And ask Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى): "Ya Rabb, grant me the strength to change the things i can, the courage to accept the things i can't, and the wisdom to know the difference."

Somethings are better to be left unsaid. “Whether you conceal what is in your hearts or reveal it, Allah will know it.” He knows what is in the heavens and what is in the earth. Allah is powerful over everything.[ Aal-Imran | 3:29] Indeed. He's all knowing: Rab-ul-alameen. Our pain is as temporary as this world. Every disease has it's cure. Verily, it is our lord who shall heal the chest of his believers. Whosoever believe in his guidance and mercy, his heart will be cured. "...And (He) shall heal the breast of the believers." [At-Tawba | 9:14] Surely, heﷻ test us by putting us in trials. And verily, with hardship comes ease. How can we forget that this worldly life is only temporary enjoyment, and indeed, the hereafter is the home of permanent settlement? We all are here today and gone tomorrow. And all these worldly possessions will end up being worthless. And only our good deeds will remain with us on the day of judgement. May Allah ﷻ forgive us all for our sins. May Allah ﷻ grant us relief from all that suffocates us and constricts us. May heﷻ grant us peace amongst the turmoils and tribulations. May Allah ﷻ grant us protection against laziness, cowardice, miserliness and the punishment of the grave. May Allahﷻ grant our souls dutifulness and purify them from arrogance, envy, egoism, selfishness, greed, lust, intolerance, anger, lying, cheating, gossiping, and slandering. May Allahﷻ guard us all. As he's the bestower of faith and Security: "Al-Mu’min". And the Guardian: "Al-Muhaymin". May Allah ﷻ take our lives when he's most pleased with us and help us all to get over these mental traumas.

‎Ibn Ḥibbān رحمه الله said:

‎"It is obligatory for the intelligent​ person to use his ears more than he uses his tongue, and to understand that he has been given two ears and one mouth, so that he listens twice as much as he speaks."

‎[Rawdat al-Uqalā, 1/47]

Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "The life of the world is sweet and green. Allah makes you generations succeeding one another so that He may try you in respect of your actions. So beware of the beguilements of the world and those of women. The first trial of Banu Israel was through women'

[Muslim].

Wealth and property of this world are favourites of everyone like the fresh fruit which is sweet, delicious and attractive for all. Everyone likes them and is attracted towards them. The most delicious fruit of this world is woman but at the same time it is the most baneful. One who inclines towards wealth and women and ignores the Islamic legal injunctions, has at stake both his Deen and Faith; and one who benefits from them keeping oneself within the bounds of Islam, would be safe fromtheir ruinous effects.

“Intimacy is never purely physical. It’s about going through the boring stuff with a person. The ‘how was your day’’s, the ‘oh, I have a dentist appointment tomorrow’’s, the 'how did your exam go’’s. It’s all part of knowing a person inside out. The monotony of hearing about someone’s routine is extremely important. It stitches you into a person’s routine.”

— Noor Shirazie

The loss of the Light of Īmān from the heart is a cause of its misery and discomfort…

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

"If this light is lost from the servant's heart, then it is miserable and annoyed and it ends up in the most distresstul and difficult of prisons.”

[Zād al-Ma’ād]

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

“Gratitude may be in the heart, in submission and humility; on the tongue, in praise and acknowledgement; and in the physical faculties, by means of obedience and submission.”

[Madārij as-Sālikeen | 2/246]

"If we had pertect power to determine our destinies, and perfect vision to see the future and know what is best for us, we would choose exactly the fate that Allah has chosen for us.

[Imam Al-Ghazali]
