“إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُدَافِعُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا”
Allah will defend those who believe.
Al hajj 38 سورة الحج
People with purpose and goals have no time for drama. They invest their energy in things that will add value to their life and others lives.
It’s difficult to admit but most of our problems are simply a matter of perspective. We create more suffering in our heads than we ever actually experience.
Ibn Abbas reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, Allah has recorded good and evil deeds and He made them clear. Whoever intends to perform a good deed but does not do it, Allah will record it as a complete good deed. If he intends to do it and does so, Allah Almighty will record it as ten good deeds, up to seven hundred times as much or even more. If he intends to do an evil deed and does not do it, Allah will record for him one complete good deed. If he does it, Allah will record for him a single evil deed.”
Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 6491
وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ
But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, “My Lord has humiliated me.”

who you really are is a great deal more important than your image in other people’s minds
“We have not sent down to you the Qur’ān that you be distressed.” — Quran (20:2)
Holy Qur’an, al-Isra 53
Ibn Al Qayyim رحمه الله said :
❝Know if the people admire you, verily [in essence] they are [actually] admiring the beautiful veil that Allāh has covered you with.❞

[Madarij As-Salikeen, 293/2]
Nobody can take what’s meant for you.
“Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) has created angels with purpose but with no desires, and He has created animals with desires and with no purpose. But Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) created man with both (purpose and desires). Therefore, when a person's purpose is stronger than his desires, he becomes closer to being an angel and on the other hand, if your desires are stronger than your purpose, than you become closer to being an animal.”🕊️
-Imam Ibn Qayyim
