هُوَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ ٱلشَّمْسَ ضِيَآءً وَٱلْقَمَرَ نُورًا وَقَدَّرَهُۥ مَنَازِلَ لِتَعْلَمُوا۟ عَدَدَ ٱلسِّنِينَ وَٱلْحِسَابَ ۚ مَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ ذَٰلِكَ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ ۚ يُفَصِّلُ ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ

"He is the One Who made the sun a radiant source and the moon a reflected light, with precisely ordained phases, so that you may know the number of years and calculation ˹of time˺. Allah did not create all this except for a purpose. He makes the signs clear for people of knowledge." [Surah Yunus , Verse 5]

-honeyliruh

good friendships are honestly the most healing and light things in the entire world

الحلال لا يمكن أن يكون سهلا أبدا.

Halal can never be easy.

لكن البركة التي فيها تستحق كل صعوبة

But the Barakah it contains is worth every difficulty.

i love people with beautiful hearts

Have you ever wondered how can you love some people and be saddened by their pains even though you don’t know their names nor do you know their form, but the only thing you share with them is a goal, and that is Allah’s pleasure and beautiful rewards.

As Imam Abu Bakr تقبله الله said once:

“this is the bond of Islamic brotherhood, a bond which if kings knew its value they would abandon their reigns and come fight us for it”

And Allah says: If you had spent all that is in the earth, you could not have united their hearts, but Allah has united them. Certainly He is All-Mighty, All-Wise.

أحزان قلبي لا تزول حتى أبشر بالقبول.. و أرى كتابي باليمين.. وتقرعيني بالرسول..

The sorrow in my heart will remain until I am given the glad tidings of acceptance (into Jannah) and until I see my book of deeds in the right hand and until my eyes are cooled by the sight of the Messenger ﷺ

My childhood trauma didn't make me stronger. it made me a people pleaser. it made me forgive way too much. it made me not speak when i'm supposed to. it made me an extreme empath.

Follow Sunnah,

Not Society.

فَاطِرَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ أَنتَ وَلِىِّۦ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ ۖ تَوَفَّنِى مُسْلِمًۭا وَأَلْحِقْنِى بِٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ

Creator of the heavens and earth, You are my protector in this world and the Hereafter. Cause me to die a Muslim and join me with the righteous.

12:101

Five Degrees of Prayer

With respect to prayer, there are five levels of people. [The lowest] is he ‘who wrongs his own soul’; who is remiss; who curtails his ablution and the times, limits and essential elements of prayer.

At the second level is he who keeps the times, rules and elements of prayer; who keeps its ablution but is taken away by distractions, which he lacks the inner strength to resist.

At the third level is he who keeps the limits and essential elements of the prayer, and struggles against distractions. This person is preoccupied with striving against his Foe, ‘lest he rob him of his prayer’. In prayer, he is in sacred combat [jihad].

At the fourth level is he who, standing in prayer, completes its requirements, its essential elements and its limits. His heart is absorbed in safeguarding the rules and requirements of the prayer ‘lest he miss any of them’. In fact, his entire concern becomes performing the prayer as it should be, completely and perfectly. In this way, his concern for the prayer and for worshipping his Lord absorbs his heart.

At the fifth level is he who, standing in prayer, performs it in the manner of the fourth, but in addition places his heart before his Lord. With this he beholds God –ever vigilant before Him, filled with His love and glory—as if, seeing Him, he were physically present before Him. Therefore, the distractions vanish, as the veil between him and his Lord is lifted. The difference between this person in his prayer and everyone else is as vast as the distance between heaven and earth, for he is occupied [only] with his Lord Almighty in prayer, in which he finds his source of gladness.

[Of these five persons], the first will be punished, the second admonished, the third redeemed, the fourth rewarded, and the fifth brought near to his Lord—for his source of gladness has been placed in prayer. And whoever is gladdened by the prayer in this world will be gladdened by nearness to his Lord in this world and the next. He who finds gladness in God, gladdens others [in turn]. But whoever does not, leaves this world a loser.

It has [also] been said that when the servant stands up to pray, God says, ‘Remove the veil between Me and My servant.’ But when the servant turns away—which is taken to mean from God to something else—He says, ‘Replace the veil.’ When he turns toward something else, the veil descends between him and God; and the Devil enters to show him all sorts of worldly things, appearing as if in a mirror. But when the servant turns his heart towards God, and d does not turn away, the Devil cannot find a place between that heart and God. The Devil enters only when the veils are raised. So if the worshipper flees towards God, and makes his heart present, the Devil flees; if he turns away, he returns. Such is the lot of the worshipper and the lot of the Devil with respect to prayer.

–Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya (”The Invocation of God”, Fitzgerald & Slitine)

"If I were to carry you on my back

And roam the earth with you, the sweetness of your love would make me feel as though I am carrying a rose... So I neither tire nor grow weary in that."

André Breton, What Is Surrealism?: Selected Writings

Teach your children that love is Halal; Love is Manners.. And that the female is a Trust, not to insult; The female is an honour..

Teach them that the female is homeland and a homeland is to always be protected not betrayed.

How great is the reward of the women in Ramadan !

They have the reward of fasting, the reward of house work and the reward of giving iftar to a fasting person.

O Allah have mercy on their weakness and quench their thirsts
