Ibn Kathīr (رحمه الله) Said,

Al-Imām Ibn Al-Qayyim raḥimahullāh said:

“From the strangest of blessings upon a person is the blessing of forgetting. Verily, if it was not for forgetfulness, he would not have forgotten anything, nor would he have been relieved of his regret, nor consoled for a calamity, nor would his sorrows have ended, nor his malice discontinued, nor would he have enjoyed anything from the pleasures of this world while remembering the calamities, nor would he have hoped for negligence from his enemy, nor respite from his envier. So contemplate the blessing of Allāh upon such a person in regards to remembrance and forgetfulness despite their differences and opposites, and that Allāh has placed in each one of them a type of benefit.”

[Miftāḥ Dār As-Sa’ādah (788)]

"The time is now. Stop hitting the snooze button on your life." — Mel Robbins

[Reported by Ibn 'Abbās in Marfū' form]

The Prophet (ﷺ) said,

إِسْمَحْ يُسْمَحْ لَكَ

"Be gentle [1],

and gentleness shall be rendered to you."

[1] Easygoing, Forgiving

[سلسلة الصحيحة]

Explaning it,

Manāwī said,

"Deal with Allah's creation who are [all] dependent upon Him and so are His slaves with gentleness [i.e, forgiveness] and ease. [and] their Master [Allah] will render the same to you in this Dunyā and Akhirah."

"Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out." — Robert Collier

When the Prophet’s (sallallahu alahi wasllam) daughter, Fatima (radhi allahu anha) complained about the hardship of serving the family, grinding corn and blisters on her hand, the Prophet taught his daughter a Dhikr, and said, “It is better for you than a servant.”

This is what he taught her;

Subhan Allah, 33 times,

alHamdulillah, 33 time,

and Allahu Akbar, 34 times

- before going to bed.

See, Saheeh al-Bukharee (vol. 8, book:75, no: 330)

Dhikr gives you strength; such that you can do with Dhikr what you cannot do without it!

Imam Ibnul-Qayyim writes in al-Waabil al-Sayyib (p. 77) under benefit no 61;

“The one who persists in doing that will find strength in his body that will make him independent of the need for a servant.”

“I just want to be with someone who doesn’t disappear when love gets tough.”
