Abu Ad-Dardh Narrated That The Messenger Of Allah Said:

Abu Ad-Dardh narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَا شَيْءٌ أَثْقَلُ فِي مِيزَانِ الْمُؤْمِنِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ خُلُقٍ حَسَنٍ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيَبْغَضُ الْفَاحِشَ الْبَذِيءَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

"Nothing is heavier on the believer's Scale on the Day of Judgment than good character. For indeed Allah, Most High, is angered by the shameless obscene person."

—Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2002

Indeed in the remembrance of Allāh ﷻ, the peace of every creature relies. I have noticed that whenever I keep my heart and mouth moist in the remembrance of my Lord— my anguish, worries and anxiety rolls over as if it never existed in the first place. Not that the problem has forever wiped its existence, and not that it is impossible for my Rabb to make it happen, but the way I approach it now changes the entire plot.

أَسْتَغْفِرُ ٱللّٰهَ

أَسْتَغْفِرُ ٱللّٰهَ

أَسْتَغْفِرُ ٱللّٰهَ

Keep repeating this dhikr like a chant. Ask for forgiveness whenever you can. Acknowledge that all human beings are born to err, and our Lord ﷻ loves to forgive us. Indeed, he is Al Gafoor.

This world isn't permanent. These worries aren't permanent. These moments of happiness aren't permanent. These sorrows aren't permanent. These achievements aren't permanent. These sicknesses aren't permanent. These failures aren't permanent. Your life isn't permanent. My life isn't permanent.

You know what is permanent? The unlimited mercy of Allāh ﷻ. The Throne of Allāh ﷻ. The Forgiving attribute of Allāh ﷻ. The immeasurable love of Allāh ﷻ. That out of all the creation of this universe, we are his favorites. That we are created in our best mould by the One and Only Fashioner. Al Mussawir.

So, close that distance between your face and the ground and completely submit yourself into His ﷻ will and decree. Your life is going to change for the best. And In Sha Allah, your Hereafter will thank you for this change.

Narrated by Abu Huraira:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah says: 'I am just as My slave thinks I am, (i.e. I am able to do for him what he thinks I can do for him) and I am with him if He remembers Me. If he remembers Me in himself, I too, remember him in Myself; and if he remembers Me in a group of people, I remember him in a group that is better than they; and if he comes one span nearer to Me, I go one cubit nearer to him; and if he comes one cubit nearer to Me, I go a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running.' "

—Sahih al-Bukhari 7405

The 6 Fears Of A True Believer

Uthman رضي الله عنه said,

The first : is that Allah the Exalted will take away his iman (faith);

the second : is that the angels will write down things that will expose him on the Day of judgement,

the third :  is that Satan will render his actions void,

the fourth : is that the Angel of Death will take his soul when he is in a state of heedlessness.

the fifth : is that the dunya will delude him and make him work for other than the Hereafter.

And the sixth : is that his family and children will preoccupy him such that he neglects the remembrance of Allah the Exalted.”

- [Ibn Hajr Al-Asqalani in, ‘Preparing For The Day Of Judgement’, Chapter 5: “Counsel In Sixes”, Qt.(5)]

You must give precedence to love for Prophet Muhammad ﷺ over the love for any other created being, and you must give precedence to his ﷺ guidance and Sunnah over any other guidance and tradition.
