If A Heart Becomes Attached To Anything Other Than Allah, Allah Makes Him Dependent On What He Is Attached

If a heart becomes attached to anything other than Allah, Allah makes him dependent on what he is attached to. And he will be betrayed by it.❞

— Ibn Al-Qayyim (raḥimahullāh)

Ya Allāh ﷻ, please make me dependant on YOU only. You're my Rabb, my Lord, my Peace. Don't make me walk on any road that takes me farther away from you, leaving me all astray. Make me independent of everything. You, your love, your nearness, your promises suffice me.

One of the greatest virtues of praying Taraweeh in the mosque, behind the Imam.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:

"Whoever prays Qiyam with the Imam until he finishes, Allah (SWT) will record for him the Qiyam of a (whole) night."

—Sunan an-Nasa'i 1605

SubhanAllah! Indeed, Allāh ﷻ is THE MERCIFUL.

اللهم لا تجعل رمضان يمر كالريح. قُدِّر لنا التطهير، غيّرنا للأفضل، اغفر لنا ذنوبنا، وقربنا إليك

𝘠𝘢 𝘈𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘢𝘩, 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘙𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘢𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘥. 𝘗𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘺 𝘶𝘴, 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘶𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳, 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘶𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘴 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘠𝘰𝘶.

Anytime you see a goodness in me, it's all because of the MERCY of Allāh ﷻ that He ﷻ has chosen me to be committing these acts. Whether it's patience, kindness, steadfastness, intelligence, good character, justice— the list goes on. It's always Allah's mercy. It's the only truth. Any achievement you see of mine is already decreed by Allāh ﷻ. Nothing is in my hand and nothing will be. Even the choice of my Sajdah is already been decided by my Lord ﷻ up there. Subsequently, it opens a new door of gratitude since nothing could ever be possible without Him ﷻ. Allāh ﷻ the Lord of the WORLDS. Not just the life which is born on earth, the lives of the millions of worlds which are incomprehensible to our limited mind. Yet, Allah ﷻ is the most Merciful towards me! It's very good to be reminded of your position and humble yourself before "Al-Malik".

It was narrated that 'Aishah (R.A) said:

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَ عُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا عَمِلْتُ وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا لَمْ أَعْمَلْ

"O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the evil of what I have done and from the evil of what I have not done yet."

—Sunan an-Nasa'i 5526

اَفَمَنْ يَّمْشِيْ مُكِبًّا عَلٰي وَجْهِهٖۤ اَهْدٰۤي اَمَّنْ يَّمْشِيْ سَوِيًّا عَلٰي صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ

"Who is ˹rightly˺ guided: the one who crawls facedown or the one who walks upright on the Straight Path?"

—Al-Mulk 67:22
