Don't look down to people, you could be looking at someone who enters the Jannah before you.

The sahaba used to do the sunnah because it was sunnah, we leave the sunnah because it is sunnah- Marwa Saad

May Allah swt forgive us. I won't lie, my guard is down when doing Sunnah prayers (my prostrations may lack, my recitations may lack, my focus suffers). May Allah swt forgive us all for he is the most merciful

I used to struggle with them until I started making dua that Allah would make it easy to pray my sunnah
Now I never miss them Alhamdulilah

This dunya is like a shadow. If you try to catch it, you will never be able to do so. If you turn your back towards it, it has no choice but to follow you.

`Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “Allāh has concealed two within two: He has concealed His pleasure in righteous acts, so one does not know which righteous act of his pleases Allah; and He has concealed His awliyā’ amongst His servants, so one does not know which servant of Allāh is His walī.”

Re: food for thought

How is possible for one's heart to be certain that one is going to meet Allah swt, that Allah swt sees and hears all that he does, and knows his secrets, and that he will be be made to stand before Allah swt, answerable for all his deeds - how can one be certain and aware of all this, and yet persists upon things which displease Allah: persists abandoning Allah's orders, neglecting His rights, and yet claims he has good expectation of Allah?

Those hijabis look so stunning when they step out with those fitted outfits and makeup that highlight their features, Allahumma barik.
But if to me they look super model gorgeous then I could only imagine what goes through the poor Muslim guy's mind when he's trying hard to lower his gaze.

They need to cover up their beauty not only to keep themselves safe from the lustful stares and creepy thoughts of strange men but also to not bring out desires of practicing men.

its more of a fitnah than a pretty non muslim woman coz with non muslims you know they arent suitable (having no deen, drinks alcohol etc etc)
that being said i find it easier though alhamdulilah to lower my gaze compared with non muslims because i know that this is someone who has worth to Allah so i dont want to mess with him

If I were to backbite against anyone, it would be about my parents, for they have more right to my good deeds.
