No amount of guilt can change the past and no amount of worrying can change the future. Go easy on yourself, for the outcome of all affairs is determined by Allah’s decree. If something is meant to go elsewhere, it will never come your way, but if it is yours by destiny, from you it cannot flee.
Umar Ibn al-Khattab  (via nonchalante)

Keep an eye on your heart while you’re praying. Should it wander or is distracted, kindly call it back.

O son of Adam, your morning is your guest, so treat it in kindness, as if you treat it in kindness, it will leave praising you, and if you treat it in a bad manner, it will leave depreciating you. Your night is the same!

One of the worst sins is a person taking his sin lightly.

When our minds are full of irrelevant, childish and unimportant issues and tales, and when our hearts are full of petty grudges, hatred and jealousy, it leaves no room for the more important issues in our own lives to be dealt with correctly.

We lose concentration very quickly in whatever we are doing and we cannot develop or progress much in our lives because we lose focus of the bigger picture.

In fact at times we do not even see that bigger picture.

For proper development we must ensure that we primarily bother about the MOST important matters in our own lives.

We will then find no time at all to engage in anything further than that.

Wasting our brain capacity and reaching our emotional limit on what we will achieve nothing from is a sign of immaturity and inexperience.
