“‘Let not the delay of answering your prayers despite your persistence in asking be cause for despair. He has guaranteed answering your prayers with what he decides for you, not with what you choose for yourself, and in the time he pleases, not the time you want.’ You make dua and you say to yourself, ‘most likely Allah will not answer me anyway. I’m not worthy of being answered.’ Don’t speak on behalf of Allah, he didn’t give you his knowledge. Allah is more generous than you can comprehend. He gives based on his generosity, not your actions. Don’t despair for: إِنَّهُ لَا يَيْأَسُ مِنْ رَوْحِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الْكَافِرُون “No one despairs of Allah’s mercy except the unbelieving people.””— Shaykh Muhammad Bin Yahya al-Ninowy al-Husayni

“Being a woman in today’s world must be hard. So much is expected of you and everyone is on your case. Doomed if you work, and doomed if you stay home. Told how to dress, and it’s never good enough. It must be really tough! Remember, Allah created you perfectly and if you work on perfecting your relationship with Him, there lies your happiness.”
