Mashriqiyyah

Ramadān is finally coming upon us, the month that the hearts and bodies were in need of and longed for. This is a season of ibādah, the month that every Muslim and Muslimah has been waiting for! 

Don’t let distractions take this month away from you! If possible, deactivate your socials or log out. Try to get rid of any negative influences and surround yourself with positive influences. Set your goals, don’t enter this Ramadān without a purpose and a goal! 

رمضانُ أقبلَ يا أُولي الألبابِ  فاستَقْبلوه بعدَ طولِ غيابِ  عامٌ مضى من عُمْرنا في غفلةٍ  فَتَنَبَّهوا فالعمرُ ظلُّ سحابِ Ramadān has come, O people of understanding, So welcome it after its long absence. A year has passed from our lives in negligence, So be aware, for life is but a shadow of a cloud.

SubhanAllah.

Men desire beauty in a woman, but they admire modesty. The beauty fades, but the character remains. After a while the most beautiful woman looks average, but the pious ones become more beautiful every day…

“A pious woman; even if she’s not stunningly beautiful, her character and religion make her attractive!”

— Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen

[Sharh Riyadh as-Saliheen (no. 280)]

May Allah make your soul of those within green birds— it's the best dua I can do for you. 🕊️

Aameen

The daily trials that are subtle, I hope we all reach a level of self-awareness to be able to recognize them and move through them with grace.

“Soul over beauty.”
