"So lose not heart, nor fall into despair: and you shall have the upper hand if you are believers." --
Quran (3:139)
"Life is only a crossing point and a passage that is not lasting,
just like a cloud that will soon move, and a dream that one will soon wake up from..."

10 Things Wasted
Assalamualaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,
Insha'Allah all is well with you and you are in the best state of affairs. Ameen.
I wanted to share this video entitled "10 Things Wasted" which is based on a lesson by Ibn al Qayyim.
The Holy Prophet (SAW) told Abu Dharr (RA): "Take advantage of five opportunities before five other things: Your youth before your old age, your health before your illness, your wealth before your poverty, your leisure before your haste, and your life before your death."
May Allah SWT Grant us with the ability to take advantage of all the blessings He has bestowed on us, and May He keep us guided on Sirat al Mustaqeem. Ameen.
I am nothing more than a muslimah and mu'minah, insha'Allah, who is striving to please Allah
SWT.
A righteous man once said:
"Whoever enriches his outward behaviour by following the sunnah, and makes his inward soul wealthy through
contemplation,
and averts his gaze away from looking at what is forbidden, and avoids anything of a doubtful nature, and feeds
solely on what is halal- his inner sight will never falter."
