The chance of mastering something the first time you do it is almost non-existent. You have the choice to keep trying until you finally succeed.

"Be empty of worrying.
Think of who created thought!
Why do you stay in prison
When the door is so wide open?"

Shaykh Hamza Yusuf Hanson

"God knows exactly what to give you to help you return to Him. The events in your life are purposeful, appropriate & non random."

"Allah gives us gifts, but then we come to love them as we should only love Him. We take those gifts and inject them into our hearts, until they take over. Soon we cannot live without them. Every waking moment is spent in contemplation of them, in submission and worship to them. The mind and the heart that was created by Allah, for Allah, becomes the property of someone or something else. And then the fear comes. The fear of loss begins to cripple us. The gift—that should have remained in our hands—takes over our heart, so the fear of losing it consumes us. Soon, what was once a gift becomes a weapon of torture and a prison of our own making. How can we be freed of this? At times, in His infinite mercy, Allah frees us…by taking it away"

"All the people are dead, except those who have knowledge. And those who have knowledge, are sleeping. In addition to those who perform good deeds. And those who perform good deeds are deceived, except those who are sincere. And those who are sincere are always in a State of concern."

Ali Ibn Abi Talib (a.s)

"Oh mankind, you came from a drop of semen, and you’ll leave as a piece of dust. You don’t know when you came, and you don’t know when you’re going. So why do you walk around like you know everything"

"How strange. You lose a little from you and you cry. And your whole life is wasting and you’re laughing?"
