‘Work for this life
as if you will live forever,
and work for the Hereafter
as if you will die tomorrow.’

‘You who believe, fulfil your obligations…’ (5:2)
‘Allah commands you to
return things entrusted to you to their rightful owners, and if you judge
between people, to do so with justice: Excellent is that which Allah instructs
you, for He hears and sees everything.’ (4:59)
‘You who believe, be steadfast in your devotion to Allah and bear witnesses impartially: do not let hatred of others lead you away from justice, but adhere to justice, for that is closer to awareness of Allah. Be mindful of Allah: Allah is well aware of all that you do.’ (5:9)

Duah:
Ya Allah,
Have mercy on our weak souls
We claim to love you so much,
But we disobey You so often.
Ya Rahman,
Do not punish us for our actions;
We are weak and forgetful.
Ameen Summah Ameen
Ya Rabbul Aalameen

Duah for the Purification of the Soul
Allahumma Ati Nafsi Taqwaha Wa-Zakkiha
Anta Khayru Man Zakkana Anta Waliyuha Wa-Mawlaha.
'O Allah,
Give my soul (Nafs)
It's God - fearing righteousness (Taqwah)
And purify it.
For You are the Best to purify it.
You are its Protector And its Guardian.'
(Sahih Muslim 2722).
If you want to see the
truth
You must be brave
enough to look.

Relationships are like
birds:
If you hold tightly,
they die;
If you hold loosely,
they fly.
But, if
you hold with care,
They remain with you forever.
