When you make Du'aa for something, whether it's for marriage, a child, a job or anything else... live your life PREPARING for it to be answered. That's faith.

Faith is what makes the impossible seem possible. And Allah is the Most Generous of Providers.

The mother of Zayd Ibn Thaabit would take her son to the Prophet Muhammad (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam) in Madinah, and leave him there to learn from him. Whenever Zayd would memorise Qur'an, his mother would hold his hand and take him to Rasulullah and say: "Do you want to hear him recite?"
This is an example of the passion the Sahaabiyat had in instilling love for the Qur'an in the hearts of thier children from a very young age.

We sometimes forget that so much of the good things we have in our life, may be the direct result of someone's Du'aa. This is a huge gift from Allah."
So earning the Du'aa of your mother should be one of the priorities in your life.
Today is the day of Jumu'ah, it falls on one of the blessed days of Dhul-Hijjah, and on this day there is a time where a Du'aa is not rejected - so rush to repent to Allah and ask Him for your needs.
Whilst making Du'aa yourself, if your mother is alive, go to ask her and ask her to make Du'aa for you as well, for the Prophet (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said:
"Three supplications will not be rejected (by Allah swt), the supplication of the parent for his child, the supplication of the one who is fasting, and the supplication of the traveler." [Tirmidhi]

Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated in his Musnad the hadeeth of ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her):
A woman used to go to Quraysh and make them laugh. She came to Madinah and stayed with a woman who also made people laugh. The Prophet (salallahu alayhi wasallam) said: With whom is so-and-so staying? She said: With So and so, who makes people laugh. He said: “Souls are like conscripted soldiers; those whom they recognize, they get along with, and those whom they do not recognize, they will not get along with.”
The original version of this hadeeth is in al-Saheeh.
YMP, you all come to mind.

Giving the Qur'an a few minutes everyday is minor in comparison to what it will give back to you.

Letting go is like pulling a tooth. When it was pulled out, you’re relieved. But how many times does your tongue run itself over the spot where the tooth once was? Probably a hundred times a day. Just because it wasn't hurting you doesn't mean you didn't notice it. It leaves a gap and sometimes you see yourself missing it terribly. It’s going to take a while, but it takes time. Should you have kept the tooth? No, because it was causing you so much pain. Therefore, move on and let go. - Zakia Usmani

How Merciful is Allah. You make His love your greatest pleasure, and so He grants you the sweetness of faith, a portion of bounties in this world, and eternal happiness in the next.
How Generous is Allah. You thank Him with a heart filled with gratitude, and so He increases you in more gifts, even though your utterance of 'Alhamdulilah' was a gift within itself.
How Forgiving is Allah. You sin, and He reminds you to repent, so you do so, and so He forgives. But then you sin agin, a bigger sin, yet He reminds you to repent, and so you do so, and He forgives. And the more you do this, the more beloved you become to Him.
How Great is Allah, Glorified be He!
O Allah, make us pure in our love for You, and let attaining your love and pleasure, be our greatest aim in whatever we pursue in life, ameen.

Reminders like this put things back into perspective. Whatever path we choose to tread in life, whatever ambitions we aspire to reach, then we do so with this ultimate goal in mind.

Every woman is a potential mother. If you see her that way, you will respect her, care for her and protect her. For the status of a mother in Islam is a high status. Deserving of your love and care.
Sometimes, treasure is decreed for people - a blessing greater than they can imagine. But it's currently hidden from them, buried beneath stones and walls, because "...their Lord wished that they should attain an age of strength and extract their treasure, as a Mercy from your Lord..." [al-Kahf: 82]
Like the orphans of Surah al-Kahf, maybe you're just not ready for the treasure that's waiting for you. Maybe you need to become a little bit stronger first. - Fajr Blog

People tend to ask me, "I want to write, but how?!"
The best advice I can give anyone who wants to go into writing, whether as a profession or just as a hobbie, it would be, to write from your heart!
Whatever comes from the heart will touch the heart. And don't be afraid to make mistakes! I still make mistakes in my writing, major ones too, but you'll only be able to correct those mistakes, when they are there in front of you. So just write your heart out, do your best, and ask Allah to bless and guide your pen. As the days go by, you'll get better and better inshaAllah.
