Be everything that you wish to find in a soul-mate, lover, confidant, and in a friend. If you seek loyalty then be faithful yourself. If you long for dedication toward you then in all that you do, be committed to others. If you ask for encouragement, then motivate. If you want to be listened to then listen. If you desire honesty then stay true. If you demand understanding then practice empathy. If you expect embrace then comfort those who are in need. If you want the people in your life to be positive then limit the negativity that you yourself exude. Be everything that you wish others to be so that hopefully your energy will attract those who subscribe to reciprocity; and everything you do will be given back to you

وَأَسِرُّوا قَوْلَكُمْ أَوِ اجْهَرُوا بِهِ إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ
أَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ خَلَقَ وَهُوَ اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ

Whether you hide your word or publish it. He certainly has full knowledge of the secrets of all hearts. He is the One that understands the finest mysteries and is well-acquainted with them.

— Qur’an (Surāt al-Mulk, 67:13-14)

Allah is the Turner of the hearts

sulaiman-salafi:

The hearts of the slaves are between the Hands of Ar Rahmaan, so there is no point in being scared to speak the truth for fear that it may lead to animosity towards you. After all, whether people love you or hate you is out of your hands…

قدر الله وما شاء فعل

This is from the Qadr of Allaah, and He does whatever He wills.

Narrated Abu Huraira (radhiAllahu ‘anhu):

The Prophet (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, “The Hour (Last Day) will not be established until (religious) knowledge will be taken away (by the death of religious learned men), earthquakes will be very frequent, time will pass quickly, afflictions will appear, murders will increase and money
will overflow amongst you.” (See Hadith No. 85 Vol 1).

— [Sahih Bukhari Vol. 2, no. 146

Shaykh ‘Abdullaah al-Ghunaymaan (hafidthahullaah) said:

“It is obligatory upon all those who speak about an affair from the affairs of the Religion, that they do so purely for the sake of Allaah, sincerely for the truth. And that they overcome their soul and strive against following their desires, not inclining towards worldly matters, such as love of being praised, seeking fame and reputation, gaining a large following, and other such matters. So one who seeks to gain any of this, will only gain the vanities of this world.”

— [Al-Hawaa (p. 20)]
I love death because I long for my Lord, I love poverty because it makes me humble in front of my Lord, I love sickness because it expiates my sins.

— Aboo Dardaa’ (radhiAllahu ‘anhu) [At-Tadhkirah v. 1 p. 84]
Know the usool of the manhaj of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah

sulaiman-salafi:

The scholars are our seniors, in knowledge and in age. Consequently, they precede us in speaking about this religion. So before you run your mouth, interpreting ayaat and ahadeeth based upon your intellect, think to yourself: Who, from Ahlul ‘Ilm, has preceded me in this statement?
O you who have believed, when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu’ah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew.

— Qur’aan 62:9 (via arkofnoah)

When a person starts to innovate, the sweetness of Hadeeth leaves his heart.

— Ahmad bin Sinaan [At-Tadhkirah v. 2 p. 75]
