Sickness of the Heart

Take me back to where I belong
Kill this vagabond
Guide this stray self in me
I want to get my heart back to my home

Make me the kinda Mominah I always desired to be

Shed away this coating of exhaustion and arrogance from over me
Keep me safe under the shelter of Your love and guidance
Substitute all your dislikes with all the good in me

"Good never brings forth but good"

Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri:Allah's Apostle said, 
"The thing I am afraid of most for your sake, is the worldly blessings which Allah will bring forth to you." 
It was said, "What are the blessings of this world?" 
The Prophet said, "The pleasures of the world."
 A man said, "Can the good bring forth evil?" 
The Prophet kept quiet for a while till we thought that he was being inspired divinely. Then he started removing the sweat from his forehead and said," Where is the questioner?" 
That man said, "I (am present)." 
Abu Sa'id added: We thanked the man when the result (of his question) was such. 

The Prophet said, "Good never brings forth but good. This wealth (of the world) is (like) green and sweet (fruit), and all the vegetation which grows on the bank of a stream either kills or nearly kills the animal that eats too much of it, except the animal that eats the Khadira (a kind of vegetation). Such an animal eats till its stomach is full and then it faces the sun and starts ruminating and then it passes out dung and urine and goes to eat again. This worldly wealth is (like) sweet (fruit), and if a person earns it (the wealth) in a legal way and spends it properly, then it is an excellent helper, and whoever earns it in an illegal way, he will be like the one who eats but is never satisfied."

Allah's Will

Allah does what He intends
And He does whatever is best for His creation...
No matter how unjust or unkind it may seem to you from your angle
It's always the best.
At times you realize later that what He did was indeed the best
At others, you just fail to figure out.
Cuz you just have your limited scope of mind
Your limited thinking capacity
Your very very limited vision
And He...
He and His capabilities are above all that you know or do not know
Because He is above His creation.
Where your capabilities end,
His just begin.
Because...
He is the one who granted you whatever you possess.
