1 min readAlso available in العربية

The path of guidance is a blessing and a favor from Allah, which comforts the heart and purifies the soul from sins. It is a sign that Allah has expanded the breast of His servant for Islam. Paradise is surrounded by hardships, and Hellfire is surrounded by desires. Benefits and pleasures are only attained with a measure of hardship and patience. The world is the prison of the believer and the paradise of the disbeliever, and the believer must balance between this world and the Hereafter. Whoever finds Allah has found everything, and whoever loses Allah has lost everything. The comfort of the heart and the serenity of the mind are achieved through the remembrance of Allah.
