Some advice
As-salam alaykum!
Alhamdulillah it's been awhile! First I wanted to share a link to a reading on the Migration to Allah by Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyah rahimahullah! http://www.sunnahonline.com/ilm/purification/0054.htm
It's not that long and it's WELL worth it inshaAllah!! (thanks to Rahmatullah who sent me the link!)
Also, here's something that I shared with some of the girls:
recently my brother told me something that i really liked that i thought i'd share...
When robbers come to steal something, they only rob a house that has a treasure in it, because the treasure is what they desire.
In humans, our treasure is our iman, and this is what shaytan comes looking for. He will go and persistently work at someone who has a great treasure. So we have to protect this treasure chest of ours, and continue to increase it-- cultivate our iman inshaAllah so it can strengthen and grow. Unfortunately, shaytan never tries to stop stealing this treasure of ours. Instead of taking it all at once, he tries to chip away at it slowly. Sometimes it goes unseen by us; more the reason why we need to be extra vigilant. Through strengthening our iman, inshaAllah we keep increasing it such that it can prevent our iman from being stolen, before we know it.
subhanAllah we all might posess something that we take extra care for so it is not stolen-- or we protect people, be it siblings, nieces/nephews etc... but the thing we possess that has the most value is our foundation in Islam-- our iman, our taqwa. and in the sight of Allah these are the most valuable things, and if we are here to please and yearn for Allah, these are the things that should be our most highly valuable items we possess. inshaAllah may we resolve to guard our treasures!
InshaAllah may we seek refuge in Allah from the shaytan, from our own souls, and from our own weaknesses. May Allah guide us and strengthen us in our resolve to please Him! May He bless us by us traveling the path to gain knowledge for His sake and take action for His sake and may He protect us from a state of heedlessness. May He also grant us the gift of gratefulness to realize that it isn't our traveling to gain knowledge that allows us to gain knowledge of Him; rather it is through Him that we are able to gain knowledge of Him! Ameen!
