- Performs righteous deeds

- Presents sincere acts

- Hopes for a stored reward

- Avoids prohibited things

- Abandons worldly desires

🔲 Heartfelt Conversation ••

"And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], about Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me [by obedience] and believe in Me - that they may be [rightly] guided." (Quran 2:186)

"(Indeed, I am near)" - He is the One who is near to you, so don't distance yourself.

🔲 In Life ••

A person passes through life only once, so if there is any good you can do or any kindness you can show to any creature... do it now. For you will not pass this way again.

"And do good; indeed, Allah loves the doers of good." (Quran 2:195)

"Since the beginning of the odd-numbered nights (of Ramadan), I've been asking myself, 'Why did the Prophet specifically choose to supplicate with "Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul-'afwa, fa'fu 'anni" (O Allah, You are the One who pardons greatly, and You love to pardon, so pardon me) on Laylatul Qadr?'

Until I came across a beautiful answer from Ibn Al-Qayyim رحمه الله, which says: 'If He pardons you, your needs will be fulfilled without even asking, so pardon us'".
