Practice Self Care First

قال الإمام ابن قدامة رحمه الله تعالى:

« إيَّاكَ أن تَشتَغِلَ بِمَا يُصلِحُ غَيرَكَ قَبلَ إصلَاحِ نَفسِك »

"مِنهَاجُ القَاصِدِين" || (ص: ٢٢).

Imam Ibn Qadamah said (May Allah Ta Ala have mercy upon him), “Don’t get busy in what fixes the affairs for others before you fix yourself.

Minhaj Al Qasiddin 22

Don't make the mistake of being so understanding and forgiving that you overlook the fact that you're being disrespected.

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

The Virtues of Reciting the Book of Allah

(The Messenger ﷺ said): “Whoever read a letter from the Book of Allah then he will receive a reward for it and every good reward is multiplied by ten the like of it, “من قرأ حرفا من كتاب الله فله به حسنة، والحسنة بعشر أمثالها I do not say that ‘Alif, Laam, Meem’ is a ḥarf (ie: letter) لا أقول: {الم} حرف but Alif is a ḥarf, ولكن: ألف حرف and Lām is a ḥarf ولام حرف and Mīm is a ḥarf.” وميم حرف”.
