Alhamdulillah for the blessing that is water. So often taken for granted.

Water droplets are so beautiful, subhan’Allah.

My desi father's way to deal with a bad day
  • Me:

    Sometimes it's like every single person around you is just out to ruin your whole day, right?

  • Dad:

    I cannot find my socks. Where are?

  • Me:

    "Where are they."

  • Dad:

    Yes, where are they?

  • Me:

    You're not listening. I said something.

  • Dad:

    Well, my method is simple. Alhumdulillah. When everyone is acting foolish and annoying me, I just think to myself, "You all are going to die some day. All of you. Everybody. Good."

  • Me:

    ...

  • Dad:

    It gives me peace to know they and their stupidity is not immortal, you see. I am a rational person.

If one attains (what he desires), he is pleased and if he is unable to attain it, he becomes discontented. Such a person is a slave [‘abd] to the things he desires. He is a slave of it, since true slavery and servitude are the enslavement and servitude of the heart.

— Shaykh Al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah)

Truth.

“It was We Who created man, and We know what dark suggestions his nafs (self) makes to him: for We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein,” (50:16).
“And why the jugular? Why does Allah (swt) choose to mention this part of us? The jugular vein is the most important vein that brings blood to the heart. If severed, we die almost immediately. It is literally our lifeline. But Allah (swt) is closer. Allah (swt) is closer than our own life, than our own Self, than our own nafs. And He is closer than the most important pathway to our heart.” -Yasmin Mogahed

The objective of life is simple: break every single chain that holds you down; hand the [chains] back to the false masters and say with all your heart, mind, soul and being: here, I only have One Master.
