AI is an amazing tool, but please stop using it for pictures of yourself.
Most of you look like you’ve been awake for 9 days and have information the government wants.
Always remember that what seems impossible for you is easy for Allah.
“His command, when He wills something, is only to say to it: ‘Be,’ and it is.” (Qur’an 36:82)
I’ve reached the stage of life where, if you invite me to a social event, I need to know the parking situation.
If it involves meters, parking garages, or “you might have to circle the block a few times,” unfortunately our friendship in this world has run its course and we’ll see each other in the next life inshallah.
Stop obsessing over what people think of you.
Most people are too consumed with their own lives to think about you as much as you imagine.
What should concern you far more is how Allah sees you.
It’s great to have discipline with your diet, your workouts, and your health.
But if you don’t have the discipline to pray your salah on time and stay away from haram, then your discipline is missing where it matters most.
إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون
The passing of Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Musa Shubayri Zanjani marks the loss of one of the great scholarly figures of our time. His life was devoted to knowledge, piety, humility, and the preservation of the intellectual heritage of the Ahl al-Bayt (a). May Allah elevate his station, reward his decades of service to Islam, and grant patience to his family, students, and the wider seminary community
“Command your family to pray and remain steadfast in it. We do not ask you for provision; We provide for you.” (20:132)
I keep coming back to this verse, especially on days when life feels heavy and the to-do list feels endless:
How often do we let salah slip because we’re “too busy” chasing the very rizq Allah has promised to provide?
He asks us to consistently show up for prayer and trust Him with the rest.
