Note: Inner Strength With Taqwa And Trust In Allah

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Gaining inner strength doesn't happen overnight nor does becoming a better Muslim take place in one quick setting. To be stronger Inn-sha-Allah than who you were before, you'd have to go through numerous obstacles, survive myriad storms of emotional turbulence and stress, and patiently discover ways to efficiently deal with different types of difficult people. You become more resilient when person 'A' lied to you and instead of deceiving them in return you remained true, when person 'B' took advantage of your kindness while they spread notorious rumors about you and instead of backbiting or disclosing the secrets they entrusted you with to get even you chose the higher road and stayed patient, and when person 'C' refuses to fulfill your rights because they consider you as not good enough or worthy of their affection you continued being a kind, helpful and affectionate person. Critcism, insults, scoldings, ridicule and rejection from Allah's servants only made you increase in saying 'HasbunAllah wa Ne'm Al-Wakeel' as you run faster towards Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala with your faith/Imaan levels going up.
As a Muslim who gains mental toughness and confidence by maintaining a strong connection with Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, you can prevent external chaos from disturbing your internal peace through frequent Dhikr, Du'as, performing Sunnah prayers to achieve closeness to Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala while anticipating your entry to Jannatul Ferdaus with rewarding patience and gratitude for what Allah chose to grant you.
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The strong believer is more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, but there is goodness in both of them. Be eager for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not be frustrated. If something befalls you, then do not say: 'If only I had done something else.' Rather say: 'Allah has decreed what He wills.' Verily, the  phrase ‘if only’ opens the way for the work of shaytan."
