💌 Allah the Most Kind knows you're not a superhuman,
You're not infallible nor free from imperfections.
Allah the Most Loving expects you, as His servant,
To obey His Laws, avoid what He has forbidden,
And do your best to serve Him till you return to Him.

Allah is fully aware that there will be moments
When you struggle with frequent fatigue, stress and mood swings,
When you miss Tahajjud on some nights as you're sleeping,
Or miss a Sunnah fast when you lack motivation.
Allah sees your struggles and current situation.
~•~
Allah wants us to worship Him with right intention,
Without being extremists, purposely negligent,
And without forgetting that He's the Most Forgiving.
Allah may love us more when we do other actions
Which please Him to compensate for our past shortcomings.

When accursed shaytan whispers, "Look at you, pretending
To be pious and perfect when you've got an audience,
Yet privately you're guilty of many wrongdoings.
Quit your efforts. There's no way that you'll be forgiven.",
Increase good deeds, do Tawbah, shun shaytan's deceptions.
~•~
You missed Qiyaam Al-Layl? Pray Duha in the morning.
Couldn't fast a Sunnah fast which you perform often?
Do charity, feed stray cats, console a sad Muslim,
Babysit kids, or share tips to benefit someone.
Allah loves it when you're consistent and keep trying.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said: "Allah the Almighty says: 'I am as My servant expects Me and I am with him as he remembers Me. If he remembers Me in himself, then I will remember him in Myself. If he mentions Me in a gathering, then I will mention him in a larger gathering. When he draws near to Me by the span of his hand, I draw near him by the length of a cubit. When he draws near Me by the length of a cubit, I draw near him by the length of a fathom. When he comes to Me walking, I will come to him running.'"

Verily, none of you will enter Paradise by his deeds alone." They said, “Not even you, O Messenger of Allah?” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Not even me, unless Allah grants me His Mercy. Know that the most beloved deed to Allah is that which is done regularly, even if it is small (or few)."
