“The religion itself is entirely good character, so whoever surpasses you in character has surpassed you in religion."

—Ibn Al-Qayyim رحمتہ اللہ علیہ

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:

"There is no day when God sets free more servants from Hell than the Day of 'Arafa. He draws near, then praises them to the angels, saying: What do these want?"

—Sahih Muslim 1348

‘Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives; choice, not chance, determines your destiny.’

– Aristotle

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ"‏ مَا مِنْ أَيَّامٍ الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ فِيهَا أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ الأَيَّامِ ‏"‏ يَعْنِي الْعَشْرَ ‏.‏ قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: ‏"‏ وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ. إِلاَّ رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِشَىْءٍ ‏"‏

“There are no days during which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these days,” meaning the (first) ten days of Dhul- Hijjah. They said: “O Messenger of Allah! Not even Jihad in the cause of Allah?” He said: “Not even Jihad in the cause of Allah, unless a man goes out with himself and his wealth and does not bring anything back.”

—Sunan Ibn Majah 1727

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.
