The Prophet ﷺ said, “There is not a day upon which the servant awakens but that two angels descend. One of them says: O Allāh, repay one who spends in charity! The other says: O Allāh, give destruction to one who withholds charity!”

قد تركت الدنيا

I have abandoned the world

لا أريدُ صديقًا غير الله

I no longer desire a friend other than Allah

أصبحت غريبًا بين أهلي

I have become a stranger among my own family

[thawabuponthawab]

وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ ٱللَّهُ ۚ قُلِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

"And if you asked them, "Who created the heavens and earth?" they would surely say, "Allāh." Say, "[All] praise is [due] to Allāh"; but most of them do not know."

(31:25)

[thawabuponthawab]

“No one leaves their house in search of knowledge but that the angels will lower their wings in approval of what he does”

سنن ابن ماجه ٢٢٦

[thawabuponthawab]

2:148

[thawabuponthawab]

“Verily, Allāh Almighty will raise the status of His righteous servants in Paradise, and they will say: O Lord, what is this? Allāh will say: This is your child seeking forgiveness for you.”

Musnad Aḥmad 10610

[thawabuponthawab]

“Whoever fasts the month of Ramaḍān and then follows it with six days of fasting in the month of Shawwal, it will be as if he has fasted for the entire year.”

Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1164

[thawabuponthawab]

how kind is our Lord?

“Whoever comes to his carpet intending to stand for prayer at night, yet his eyes are overcome with sleep until morning, his intention is recorded for him, and his sleep is charity from his Lord Almighty to him.”

Sunan al-Nasā’ī 1787

[thawabuponthawab]

“Whoever travels a path in search of knowledge, Allāh will make easy for him a path to Paradise.”

Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2699

[thawabuponthawab]

“Verily, there are one hundred levels in Paradise, the distance between them like the heavens and the earth. Al-Firdaws is the highest and most ideal level, for above that is the Throne of the Most Merciful and from it flow the rivers of Paradise. When you ask from Allāh, ask for Al-Firdaws.”

Sunan al-Tirmidhī 2530

[thawabuponthawab]

قَدَرُ اللَّهِ وَمَا شَاءَ فَعَل

The Prophet ﷺ said, “If something befalls you, then do not say: If only I had done something else! Rather say: “Allah has decreed what He wills”. Verily, the phrase ‘if only’ opens the way for the work of Satan.”

Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2664

[thawabuponthawab]

“Whoever says, 'SubḥānAllāhi wa biḥamdihi,' one hundred times a day, will be forgiven all his sins even if they were as much as the foam of the sea.”

صحيح البخاري ٦٤٠٥

[thawabuponthawab]

Astaghfirullah al-‘Adheemal-ladhi la ilaha illa Huwal-Hayyul-Qayyum wa atubu ilaih (I seek the forgiveness of Allah the Mighty, Whom there is none worthy except Him, the Living, The Eternal, and I repent unto Him)

This Ramadan, ask Allah for the impossible. Allah has no limits. For once, forget everything you know about how things work, about what is “realistic” or “logical.” Just believe, wholeheartedly, that whatever you ask, Allah can grant it. Wake up before Fajr, stand in tahajjud, and when you go into sujood, pour your heart out. Ask for what you truly want, not just what seems within reach. Even if the world tells you it’s impossible, even if you’ve convinced yourself it can never happen, don’t give up on your du’as. Make dua with full faith. Cry if you need to. Speak to Him. Tell Him your wishes, your longings, your quiet dreams that no one else knows about. He listens. He cares. And He is Al-Mujeeb-the One who responds. May Allah fill your heart with hope, answer your deepest prayers in ways better than you can imagine, and bless you with peace that stays with you long after Ramadan is over. Ameen.

The Prophet ﷺ said, “A believer sees his sins as if he were sitting under a mountain which, he is afraid, may fall on him; whereas the wicked person considers his sins as flies passing over his nose and he just drives them away like this. (i.e just brushes it off)"

صحيح البخاري ٦٣٠٨

[thawabuponthawab]

Ibn Umar رضي الله عنهما “Do not look at a person's prayer or fasting, rather look at the truthfulness of his words when he speaks, his honesty when he is entrusted with something and his piety (wara) when he thinks of committing a sin.”
