The Heart Of The One You Turn Too, Is In The Hands Of The One You Turn Away From.

A man was asked "do you wish to meet Allah?" And He said "of course I do. I have sins and shortcomings. I am not the best version of myself but I have this hope of meeting Allah because I know that as long as I am trying–He will show me mercy."

“Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him." [Bukhari]🥺💌

Abul ‘Āliyyah [may Allāh have mercy on him] said:

“A time will come upon the people wherein there hearts will be devoid and derelict of the Qur’ān.

They will find neither sweetness nor acquire any delight by its recitation.

If they fall short of performing what they have been commanded to do, they will say: ‘Certainly, Allāh is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.’

If they commit that which they have been forbidden from doing, they will say: ‘We shall be forgiven, we have not associated any partners unto Allāh.’

Their affairs will be based on covetousness [and false hope], possessing no truth [and no sincerity].”

Kitāb az-Zuhd, 1714 | Al-Imām Ahmad bin Hanbal [may Allāh have mercy on him]

who are you when you are not watching tv or movies? when you aren't playing video games or reading a book or fanfiction or listening to music or whatever other kind of media that you engage with? who are you when your mind isn't in another world or story, when you are forced to sit with yourself and the only experience you have is your own sensorial life? can you define yourself outside of what you consume? who is that person? do you like them? can you bear it? can you bear it?
