What is it about night walks…I looked into the orange light of someone’s window and felt the deepest sense of peace I’ve ever had
It is not your wealth or children that bring you closer to Us. But those who believe and do good—it is they who will have a multiplied reward for what they did, and they will be secure in ˹elevated˺ mansions.
Holy Qur’an, Saba 37
‘Abdullaah ibn al-Mubarak (رحمه الله) said,
“I have seen that sins kill the hearts.
And indeed humiliation is inherited by their continuity.
And abandoning sins gives life to the hearts.
And it is better for your soul that you disobey it (when it calls you to sins)”
[Mentioned by Shaykh Zayd al-Madhkalee in Al-Afnaan al-Nadeeyah, vol.6, pg.367, Dār al-Mirāth an-Nabawee print]
Imam Ibn Qayyim (رحمه الله) said,
"There are those who do not see the effects of a sin, and they are tricked by it. They don’t realize that the sin can take effect after a while.“
[ad-Da’, p.64]
Can I just say that I live for subtle touches….hands swiping against each other, arms grazing, knees press against each other, cheeks brushing, “accidental” thigh swipes. I just love the subtlety behind pushing comfort boundaries while both of yall pretend like you don’t notice. It’s really the simple things in life.
