Do not allow success to fool me
Nor that defeat throws me into despair.
Remind me always,
That failure is a trial,
That prefaces success.

Dear Lord of mine,
Teach me that TOLERANCE
Is the highest degree of power
And the wish for revenge
the first sign of defeat.

Dear Lord of mine,
If You take my possessions,
Leave me hope.
If You grant me success
Grant me the willpower
To defeat failure
If You take from me the boon of health,
Grant me the boon of FAITH.

Dear Lord of mine
When I sin against people,
Grant me the power of apology.
And when people sin against me,
Grant me the power of forgiveness.

Dear Lord of mine
When I forget You,
Do not forget me.

AMEN

Abu Musa al-Ashari (radiyAllahu'anhu) used
to fast in hot weather so it was said to him,
“You are an old man.”
He said, “I’m preparing for a long day [i.e.
Day of Judgement].
(Ibn al-Jawzi, Awakening From The Sleep of
Heedlessness. pg 44)

Ibn al-Jawzee (Rh)said:
“When you sit in the darkness of the night
between the Hands of Your Master, then
adopt the behaviour of the children. For
indeed, the child when he seeks something
from his father, and he is not given it, he
cries over it.” [Al-Mudhish, 1/219]

Shaykh-ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah:
"The real prisoner is someone whose heart is
imprisoned from his Lord; the true captive is
someone captured by his passions."
(Al-hadiyyah fi Mawaith Al-Imam Ibn
Taymiyyah, pg. 21)

Imam al-Ghazali told a story of a man walking in the jungle. A roaring lion ran towards him,
and the man ran as fast as he could to escape from it. He noticed a well in front of him and
he jumped inside hoping to escape from the lion. As he was falling inside the well, he grabbed
onto the rope and saved himself. The man was so relieved but when he looked down he saw a big
snake at the bottom of the well. It had its jaws wide open ready to swallow him up. The man
then looked up and saw two mice nibbling at the rope. A black mouse and a white were both
chewing into the rope. The scary lion was still prowling outside the well. The man’s heart
was pounding as he wondered how he could escape from this. Then he noticed a honeycomb in
front of him which had delicious honey dripping from it. He stuck his finger into the honey
and put it inside his mouth. It was delicious and for a moment he forgot about the lion, the
snake and the two mice chewing at the rope.
Imam al-Ghazali explained that the lion is like the angel of death which is always looming
above us. The snake was like his grave which all humans will face. The black mouse and white
mouse were like the dayand night which are always nibbling at our life (the rope). The honey
was like this dunya which with its momentary sweetness makes us forget the death and the eternal life

as-Sa'di - may Allaah have mercy on him - said:
"And since Wudhu is from (the word) al-
Idhaa'ah, which (means) light, thus it (their
wudhu) is light for them on the Day of
Judgment"
[Sharh 'Umdah al-Ahkaam v. 1 p. 71]
