The whole entire Salah and every phrase we utter has a beautiful meaning and depth to it, but one part of the prayer that we often say without giving much attention to is the phrase "Sami Allahu liman Hameedah" which literally translates to "Allah hears the one who praises Him."

Isn't it so heart moving that Allah, the King of all Kings and the Owner of all of existence, wants to remind and comfort you that He is listening to the praise your offer Him as you bow and prostrate before His majesty. Unlike the affluent people of this world who may neglect your compliments in arrogance or not have time or appreciation to give to you in return; He who manages every movement from the transition of the day and night, and the sun and moon- all the way to the little ant that crawls in the darkest part of the forest. That King, that Rabb who needs no praise, tells you in the middle of your prayer that He is listening to you and that no effort you make for Him is going unnoticed by Him.❤️‍🩹

The Prophet (ﷺ) said:

لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يُقْبَضَ الْعِلْمُ وَتَكْثُرَ الزَّلاَزِلُ وَيَتَقَارَبَ الزَّمَانُ وَتَظْهَرَ الْفِتَنُ وَيَكْثُرَ الْهَرْجُ ـ وَهْوَ الْقَتْلُ الْقَتْلُ ـ حَتَّى يَكْثُرَ فِيكُمُ الْمَالُ فَيَفِيضُ

“The Hour will not be established until knowledge will be taken away, earthquakes become frequent, time will pass quickly, afflictions will appear, murders will increase, and money will overflow amongst you.”

Sufyan Ath-Thawri (رحمه الله) said:

"Three matters are from patience:

Don't speak about your pain.

Don't speak about your calamity.

Don't praise yourself."

[Tafsir Ibn Kathir 1/620]

Do not consider him a man, however intelligent or considerate he may be,

The one who forgets Allah in luxury or does not fear Allah at rage.

Paimaan e ghazal avval - Bahadur Shah Zafar

Sometimes Allah attaches your heart to that which isn't written to be yours, and you question the situations. Only for you to realise, days, months or years later, why it happened the way it did! That it was never khayyr for you . He knows the big picture... He knows it all...

May Allah subhana wa ta'ala heal you in a way that leaves no trace, and if He has decided with His wisdom that you must endure this test, may He grant you the strength, patience and wisdom to face this test in such a way that it only will bring you closer to Him, and it will enable you to taste a bliss that you have never experienced before and that it may be your sabab to enter all firdaws, Allahuma Ameen.

Allaah Preventing A Person From Certain Things Out Of Love

Al-Imaam Ibnul-Jawzee, may Allaah have mercy upon him:

“I pondered upon Shaybaan Ar-Raa’ee’s saying to Sufyaan:

‘Consider O Sufyaan, Allaah not giving you something, to be a form of granting you something.

Verily Allaah did not prevent you out of miserliness (bukhl); He did so out of love for you.’”

[Captured Thoughts, Pg. 688]

i think the most valuable changes really come from within, striving for purer intentions, being more patient with yourself, cleaning out your negative thoughts — overall creating a more comfortable and welcoming place for yourself + for your loved ones

‘You are speaking privately with the King of Kings, five times a day, at the least. So, why do you not rejoice at this? Praise Allāh for these blessings and establish the prayer.’

In the end. Let it come to you as Allah wrote for you; perhaps it'll be what your heart wished for.
