​You Must Be Willing​

You must be willing to change. 

You must be willing to break the deal you made with the devils within. 

You must be willing to leave the past and not be tempted to rebound when times are tough. 

You must be willing to let go of everything and anyone that takes you back to your sins. 

You must be willing to have hope. 

You must be willing to have hope that you can change and that you will and that you will be better. You must believe you are worthy of change and you are worthy of improvement and you are worthy of being the best. 

You must be willing to set aside your negative notions about life, about hardships, about people, about things, about yourself. 

You must be willing to stop feeling sorry for yourself while looking at the world move around you. Get up and make something of yourself.----

​Ibn Al Qayyim​

Fix three things...

1. Whoever fixes his secret affairs (at night), Allah will fix his public affairs

2. Whoever fixes that which is between him and Allah, Allah will fix what is between him and people. 

3. Whoever works for his akhirah, Allah will be enough for his dunya.

- Sufyan ibn 'Uyayna

"Perhaps you might be asleep while the doors of Heaven are knocking with tens of supplications for you, by a poor person you aided or a sad person you cheered up or a distressed person you brought relief to. Therefore, do not underestimate doing good at all.”--Ibn Al-Qayyim

​The Undefeated Armies​
