No sin remains minor with persistance
And no sin remains major after Istighfar

“A man is sometimes saddened by something that passed him by, not realising that he could never had attained it, even if he tried. And a man sometimes rejoices with something he attains, not realising it would never have missed him, even if he never sought it out. Only those things that bring you an increase in the hereafter should please you and you should only be saddened with things that lessen your rank in the next life”
Imam Ali (RA)
very nice

Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become character.
Watch your character, they become destiny.
Part of a man’s good observance of Islam is that he leaves alone what does not concern him!
Lies, darken the mouth and slander infuses the torments of the grave! It is not permissible for a man to keep apart from his brother for more than 3 days!
Wherever you are fear Allah; if you follow an evil deed with a good one, you will obliterate it, and deal with people with a good disposition
The believers whose faith is most perfect are those who have the best character! Modesty and faith are both companions: when one is taken away the other is taken!
There are two favours of which many people are unmindful: health of body and calmness of mind
Do not consider any kindness insignificant, even meeting your brother with a cheerful face (every act of kindness is sadqa)
A father gives his son nothing better than a good education!
Pleasing your parents is to attain Allah’s pleasure and disobedience to your parents is expressing disobedience to Allah!
Paradise lies under the feet of thy mother!
The wisest is he who does not disdain the advice of others.
Take the advice of wise men, and thus escape blame and repentance.
Take counsel even of an enemy, if he is wise: follow not the advice of an ignorant friend.
Guide yourself by the lamp of the counsels of those who practice what they counsel.
To give a man advice publicly is to cast blame upon him.
Each breath of a man is a step nearer deathDeath awaits every living creature, and every thing must end. One expecting death gives himself up to good deedsWhoever is not serviceable to his kind is to be counted among the dead.When fortune smiles upon you, it lends you another’s qualities, and when it turn from you, it takes away your own.
Beautiful, beautiful, subhanAllah.
Rufaida, I didnt find anything about you in your blog.
Would like to know more about you.
Salam.

وانْصَبْ فإن لذيذ العيش في النَّصب
Travel! You will find a replacement for what you leave behind,
And strive! Because the joy of living is in striving.

Don’t look at the pain you’re in. Don’t look at what you’ve lost. Look at whose ‘eyes’ you are in: “And be patient, for the decision of your Lord, for indeed, you are in Our eyes. And exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord when you arise.” (52:48)
