“A believers’ most powerful tool is his dua. Imam Ibn al-Qayyim says regarding this : “If Allah did not want to accept your dua, He would have not guided you to make it (in the first place).” He also said: “whoever is inspired (By Allah) to supplicate (to Allah), then a response has already been intended for him, for Allah has said ‘Call on me, I will answer you’ [Quran 40:60].”

“Don’t let your definition of success, failure or self-worth be anything other than your position with Him. And if you do this, you become unbreakable, because your handhold is unbreakable. You become unconquerable because your supporter can never be conquered. And you will never become empty because your source of fulfillment is unending and never diminishes.”8”

“Do not carry the worries of this life because this is for Allah. And do not carry the worries of sustenance because it is from Allah. And do not carry anxiety for the future because it is in the Hands of Allah. Carry one thing: pleasing Allah. Because if you please Him, He pleases you, fulfills you and enriches you.”
