Speck-ofdust - Servant Of Allah

رَبَّنَا وَاٰتِنَا مَا وَعَدْتَّنَا عَلٰي رُسُلِكَ وَلَا تُخْزِنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ ؕ اِنَّكَ لَا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيْعَادَ

"Our Lord! Grant us what You have promised us through Your messengers and do not put us to shame on Judgment Day—for certainly You never fail in Your promise.”

—Surah Aal-e-Imran [3:194]

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:

اَ 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

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

DUĀ TO RECITE IN THE LAST 10 DAYS OF RAMADAN:

الْلَّهُمَّ اِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي

“O Allah, You are the Most forgiving, and You love to forgive, so forgive me.”

—Tirmidhi 3513

"لا أحد هنا يستحق دموعك ، لأنهم إذا فعلوا ذلك ، فلن يتركوا دموعك تسقط".

"یہاں کوئی بھی تمہارے آنسوؤں کا مستحق نہیں ہے، کیونکہ اگر وہ مستحق ہوتا تو تمہارے آنسو بہنے ہی نہ دیتا۔"

"No one here deserves your tears, because if they did, they wouldn't let your tears fall."
