Advice from Imam Ibn Al Qayyim (RA)
-
Do not carry the worries of sustenance: It is from Allah
-
Do not carry the anxiety for the future: It is in the Hands of Allah
- Do not carry the worries of this life: This if for Allah
A friend will not (literally) share your struggles, and a loved one cannot physically take away your pain, and a close one will not stay up the night on your behalf. So look after yourself, protect yourself, nurture yourself and do not give life's events more than what they are really worth.
Know for certain that when you break no one will heal you except you, and when you are defeated no one will give you victory except your determination.
Your ability to stand up again and carry on is your responsibility.
Do not look for your self-worth in the eyes of people; look for your worth from within your conscience. If your conscience is at peace then you will ascend high
Carry only one thing
Pleasing Allah, because if you please Him
=
He Pleases your
+
Fulfills You

Enriches You
