“There are two eyes that the Fire will not touch: eyes that wept in fear of Allāh ﷻ & eyes that stayed up guarding in the way of Allah.”
Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ
[Tirmidhi]
The strangest thing I’m thankful for, is how Allah delayed answering some of my prayers. But I am even more grateful that He left some of them unanswered. In His silence, I felt His mercy. In His wisdom, I saw my weakness.
“The intelligent person’s tongue is behind his heart: when he wants to speak, he first thinks. If [his words] will be in his favor, he says them, and if they will be against him, he does not speak. And the ignorant person’s heart is behind his tongue: when he merely thinks of saying something, he says it, whether it is for or against him.”
