Listen, O Liberty, and harken unto us. Turn your gaze towards us, O mother of the earth’s inhabitants. For we are not the offspring of your rival. Speak with the tongue of any one of us; for from one spark the draw straw catches fire. Awaken the sound of your wings the spirit of one of our men; for from one cloud one lightning flash illuminates valley-lanes and mountain- tops. Disperse with your resolve these dark clouds. Descend as a thunderbolt. Destroy like a catapult the props of those thrones erected on bones and skulls; plated with the gold of taxes and bribery; soaked in blood and tears. Listen to us, O Liberty. Have compassion on us, O Daughter of Athens. Rescue us, O Sister of Rome. Save us, O Companion of Moses. Come to our aid, O beloved of Mohammad. Teach us, O bride of Jesus. Strengthen our hearts that we may live; or strengthen the arms of our enemies against us that we may wither, perish and find peace. - Khalil Gibran
As soon as you realise that everything, truly, is controlled by Allah you will be happier.
You need to internalise it. Every little thing is controlled by Allah so if something goes wrong, something will go right-
and if you’re sad today, tomorrow you will be happier
“Our lack of intimacy with God causes a void that we try to fill with the frailest of substitutes.”

“And tire yourself out, because it makes life worth living! I have seen that water stagnates when it stands still, yet when it runs it is sweet and pure.”
— Imam Shafi (rahimahullah)
“There is no doubt that the one who memorizes more Qur’an will, in most cases, be able to recite more Qur’an in prayer. The recitation of Qur’an is one of the most enjoyable parts of prayer, and having the ability to elongate your standing in front of Allaah subhanahu wa ta’ala is greatly rewarding.”
Sometimes u just need to stay quiet, not because u don't have anything to say, but because u just don't want ur words to get wasted..
