Sometimes Being Alone Brings More Peace

Sometimes the peace we’re looking for isn’t in people, but in being alone, where our heart can finally breathe.

Ibn Qudāmah رَحِمَهُ ٱللَّٰهُ said:

‎“Loneliness saves you from the evil of the people.”

‎[Mukhtasar Minhaj al-Qasidin | 113]

[inkandmusk]

You wish to be patient, so you're tested with hardships.

You wish to be disciplined, so you're tested with temptations

You wish to be kind, so you're tested with unkind people.

You wish to be enlightened, so you're tested with mistakes

You wish to be grateful, so you're tested with loss and adversity

You wish to be forgiving, so you're tested with being wronged

You wish to be steadfast in faith. so you're tested with doubts and trials.

You wish to be consistent, so you're tested with interruptions

You wish to love, so you're tested with being alone

Do the people think that they will be left to say, We believe' and they will not be tested?

Ya Rabb, You have granted me tawfeeq to prostrate to You, grant me death while I'm prostrating to none but You.

‎“When an oppressed says:

‎حَسْبُنَا اللَّـهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ

‎HasbunAllaahu wa ni’mal Wakeel

‎It means he took the case out of all worldly courts and filed it in the court of Allah.”

‎— Shaykh Ahmad Jibril (حفظه الله)

[manhiya1]

…so you come understand the meaning of سيعود غريبا،, you look at the lives of those before you, and you wonder at them, you learn from how they threaded such a heavy path, you take them as your friends, they become you role models, they become the ones you relate to.

For it is indeed, it is very heavy to turn against your family, everything you know and choose the path of Ar-Rahman, and you just wonder how Rasulullah ﷺ did it, just how was he able to turn against his whole tribe? سبحان الله. So inspiring, so powerful.

The more you thread this path, the more the ayaat of Allah عَزَّ وَجَلَّ‎ weigh heavily on your heart, they penetrate the heart, and you visualize so much, it’s so real, all the things He says, they happen, and you can’t help but try to stay on the safe side, you don’t want to dare be on the side that earns His Displeasure. The more you thread this path, the more sacrifices you give up, the more your Imaan would increase because you see all the signs in front of you. So powerful الله أكبر

True Wisdom Lies in Staying Grounded Through Life’s Highs and Lows

Imam Ibn al-Jawzi رحمه الله said,

"Understand that life has occassions. One time it is poverty, and another time it is wealth. Once it is honour, and another it is humiliation. Happy is he who remains grounded in each situation."

‎[Sayd-ul-Khatir, pg. 282]

[inkandmusk]

Ibn Rajab رحمه الله said:

يا من ضاع عمره لا شيء استدرك ما فاتك في ليلة القدر فإنها تحسب بالعمر.

O you who have wasted your life, nothing can make up for what you’ve lost except the Night of Decree (Laylatul Qadr), for indeed, its value is equal to a lifetime.

(191)كتاب لطائف المعارف فيما لمواسم العام من الوظائف - ط ابن حزم

[greyscale-dunya]

If you are from this Ummah, then these ten nights are your opportunity. This is not just about personal worship it is about preparing yourself to serve Allah’s cause. If you are a man, ask Allah to make you a pillar of strength for His deen. Pray for guidance, wisdom, and the ability to act when the Ummah needs you. Strengthen your body, discipline your soul, and purify your heart.

If you are a woman, make these nights your foundation. Ask Allah to make you a source of strength for this Ummah, to grant you the honor of raising men like the Sahaba, women like the great believers of the past. This Ummah needs mothers who instill courage, faith, and knowledge in their children. Pray that your womb carries those who will defend Islam, and that your heart carries the resolve to raise them upon the truth.

The Ummah is humiliated, and the world is burning in darkness. You already know what kind of du’as we need to make. Pray for victory, for justice, for the return of honor to this Ummah. Pray for strength to bear the trials ahead. These ten nights are not for empty worship but for transformation. Make use of them before they slip away.

[hamdosana]

The most precious thing of this world is hidayat, taufique, imaan. Allah has kept these precious things to Himself and gives to only those who ask. He gives money, job, status to even those who don’t ask or don’t turn to Him. But tawfique and imaan is only granted to special people who humble themselves and ask.

You yourself see, don’t you see people who won’t offer prayer even if namaz is happening right in front of them in a mosque? Don’t you see people who live in Makkah, Madinah, near the two great mosques, but don’t offer prayers. Don’t you see super rich people, but they never give charity. Don’t you see people waking up all night, smoking sheesha, and play cards even though they hear azaan of fajr.

Tawfique and imaan are the most precious gifts. It won’t be given unless asked.
