I'm a servant of Allah, living a temporary life. Reminded of death's inevitability, I strive to please Him, cultivate good deeds, and cherish every breath.

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:
“As long as you are performing prayer, you are knocking at the door of Allah, and whoever is knocking at the door of Allah, Allah will open it for him.”

If you were to MEMORIZE just two juz': “Amma” and “Tabaraka” only,
then you would ascend a thousand degrees in JANNAH.

Four calamities the Prophet (S A W) told us to seek Allah's protection from, because they can destroy your heart, your worldly life, and your akhirah;
The Messenger of Allah (S A W) said:
"Seek refuge in Allah from the hardship of calamity, from being overtaken by misery, from a bad fate, and from the gloating of enemies."
1- The hardship of trials: these are the burdens you can’t bear: a sickness that wears you down, or debts that weigh heavily on your soul.
2- Being overtaken by misery: it means being lost in this life and the next.
In this world- a confused heart, an exhausted body, constant effort with no success, and fake happiness.
In the next (may Allah protect us)- hellfire and deep regret.
3- A bad outcome: asking Allah to protect you from a destiny that brings sorrow or harm. And if such hardship comes, your duty is to be patient and trust that all destiny, good or bad, is from Allah.
4- The joy of your enemies: tbh, few things hurt more than falling, and seeing those who hate you laugh, mock your pain, or celebrate your failure.
Don’t let a day pass without this powerful dua:
اللهم إني أعوذ بك من جهدِ البلاء، ودركِ الشقاء، وسوء القضاء، وشماتة الأعداء
Transliteration:
Allahumma inni a‘udhu bika min jahdil-bala’i, wa darakish-shaqa’i, wa su’il-qadhaa’i, wa shamātatil-a‘daa’i
Hadith narrated by Abu Hurayrah (R A) as reported by Bukhari and Muslim

🎙️Sheikh Salih Al Fawzan حفظه الله ;
“At the end of time — and pay attention to this — sudden death will become common.
You may be in good health, strong, and young, then you die suddenly, whether from a car accident, a heart attack, or any other unexpected cause.
And how frequent this is, as you yourselves see and hear. So we must increase in repentance and seeking forgiveness, and not forget the Hereafter, not forget death, and not forget the reckoning.
Then, on the Day of the Scales, deeds will be weighed. Whoever’s scales are heavy (with good deeds), those are the successful ones.
And whoever’s scales are light (because their bad deeds outweigh their good deeds), those are the ones who have lost themselves and will be in Hellfire forever.
They did not lose their wealth — they lost themselves. Their recompense is Hellfire, forever and ever.
And there is no power nor strength except with Allah.”

Since the world as a shared reality exists, its existence must have been possible. But how? For our understanding, this is already a miracle: both the finitude and infinity of the Universe alike bring our logic to an impasse.
