Speck-ofdust - Servant Of Allah

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلٰي ؕ

Your Lord ˹O Prophet˺ has not abandoned you, nor has He become hateful ˹of you˺.

—Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى | Quran 93:3

This Ayah brings so much comfort. Allāh ﷻ Himself affirms us by telling that He is always there with us, irrespective of any circumstances. That people may loathe you, but your Creator ﷻ won't. That people will abandon you, but your Creator ﷻ won't. Allāh ﷻ loves us, He listens to us, He knows us. Isn't that assuring in itself? This ayat is the perfect embodiment of peace, reassurance and the love of Allah ﷻ .

Narrated Shaddad bin Aus:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said "The most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allah is:

لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ، خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ، وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ، أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَىَّ وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذَنْبِي، فَاغْفِرْ لِي، فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ

The Prophet (ﷺ) added. "If somebody recites it during the day with firm faith in it, and dies on the same day before the evening, he will be from the people of Paradise; and if somebody recites it at night with firm faith in it, and dies before the morning, he will be from the people of Paradise."

— Sahih al-Bukhari 6306

The supplication of Hazrat Musa (as) :

رب إني لما أنزلت إلي من خير فقير

My Allah! Truly, i am in need of whatever good that You bestowed on me

Quran 28:24

A silent but catastrophic storm drew near and blew all the happiness that could be merely attained by possibly cherishing the right that has been gifted to me by the one who loves me the most in this entire world. An excruciating pain shoots across my head which directly leads to my heart, leaving my brain and heart both paralyzing and dazed. The noise of shattering echoes in my mind. Shattering of what you ask? Shattering of dreams, self confidence, self love, trust, compassion and above all, love. A love that was nothing but a delusional chase that horribly turned into a terrifying nightmare which altered the subtle yet sublime track of my nerves. Yet still, there is a spark of hope that resides in every cell of my body which believes in the course of life—which will prefer my happiness over anything in this temporary hostage. The suppressed tears, the long gasps of air, the stone cold heart, the screeching voice of my heart which limits itself to myself because the world is immune to the pain of others. I am humiliated by my own thoughts. The ocean of thoughts that drown me in the miseries of my choices. However, this won't last forever. The sun will shine and the darkness will fade. With that hope, I move forward.

Salman al-Farisi (May Allāh ﷻ be pleased with him) reported:

“Verily, on the day Allāh ﷻ created the heavens and the earth, He ﷻcreated one hundred parts of mercy. Each part can fill what is between the heavens and the earth. He ﷻ made one part of mercy for the earth, from which a mother has compassion for her child, animals and birds have compassion for each other. On the Day of Resurrection, He ﷻ will perfect this mercy.”

—Prophet Muhammad ﷺ | Sahih Muslim 2753

Allah u Akbar!

Let's make use of Ramadan wisely. Our deeds multiply and exceed in rewards beyond our imagination. Ya Rehman! Please allow us to make the most of Ramadan. Ameen Sum Ameen.

Ibn al Jawzī رحمه الله:

“By Allāh, if it was said to the dead in their graves,

‘Wish for something.’

They would wish to witness one [more] day of Ramadan.”

[Tabsirah, 2/75]
