Speck-ofdust - Servant Of Allah

اَفَمَنْ يَّمْشِيْ مُكِبًّا عَلٰي وَجْهِهٖۤ اَهْدٰۤي اَمَّنْ يَّمْشِيْ سَوِيًّا عَلٰي صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ

"Who is ˹rightly˺ guided: the one who crawls facedown or the one who walks upright on the Straight Path?"

—Al-Mulk 67:22

If a heart becomes attached to anything other than Allah, Allah makes him dependent on what he is attached to. And he will be betrayed by it.❞

— Ibn Al-Qayyim (raḥimahullāh)

Ya Allāh ﷻ, please make me dependant on YOU only. You're my Rabb, my Lord, my Peace. Don't make me walk on any road that takes me farther away from you, leaving me all astray. Make me independent of everything. You, your love, your nearness, your promises suffice me.

Nothing makes me happier than listening to my cats' breath while they're asleep. I've always wondered what it's like to be lulled to dreamland by listening to someone's breath, and my cats right here, did not disappoint. Hitting all the right spots, bringing me joy like nothing. Why ASMR when I've got them? Calming my nerves and making my heart dance with joy. These little fluffballs just got to exist and I'm more than willing to sacrifice my entire life for them. They're my home, my refuge, my sanctuary. Thank you so much Allāh ﷻ for blessing me with such cute creatures.

Anytime you see a goodness in me, it's all because of the MERCY of Allāh ﷻ that He ﷻ has chosen me to be committing these acts. Whether it's patience, kindness, steadfastness, intelligence, good character, justice— the list goes on. It's always Allah's mercy. It's the only truth. Any achievement you see of mine is already decreed by Allāh ﷻ. Nothing is in my hand and nothing will be. Even the choice of my Sajdah is already been decided by my Lord ﷻ up there. Subsequently, it opens a new door of gratitude since nothing could ever be possible without Him ﷻ. Allāh ﷻ the Lord of the WORLDS. Not just the life which is born on earth, the lives of the millions of worlds which are incomprehensible to our limited mind. Yet, Allah ﷻ is the most Merciful towards me! It's very good to be reminded of your position and humble yourself before "Al-Malik".

Eid Mubarak from me and my family to yours.

May the spirit of Eid draw us nearer to our cherished ones, fortifying the ties of companionship.As we rejoice in Eid, let's keep in mind the same significance of compassion, magnanimity, and reconciliation. May your homes be filled with laughter and your hearts with love. And lastly, may Allah ﷻ accept our good deeds and grant us the everlasting happiness. Ameen Sum Ameen.✨🤍

Best Regards.

It was narrated that 'Aishah (R.A) said:

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَ عُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا عَمِلْتُ وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا لَمْ أَعْمَلْ

"O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the evil of what I have done and from the evil of what I have not done yet."

—Sunan an-Nasa'i 5526
