Hope is Eternal

The sun will rise tomorrow, even if it sets today
And there will always be a rainbow, even if it rains
Even if one man dies, another will be born
And you can always smell the roses, even if you've felt their thorns.

Fire can burn down buildings, but it can't burn down hope
Fog can darken heavens, but smoke is only smoke
Everything can be broken, but it can be repaired
And there will always be an ally, if there was ever one who cared.

It's small now but it will grow
It's a little thing called hope
As long as we don't let it wait
It can never be too late.

Start over, and rebuild
Over mountains, over hills
Nothing stops us
Let's begin
Have no fear for we will win.

Your Hope In My Heart

Your hope in my heart is the rarest treasure 
Your Name on my tongue is the sweetest word 

My choicest hours
Are the hours I spend with You

O Allah, I can't live in this world
Without remembering You

- Rabia al-Adawiyyah

Not Losing Hope For Allah's Mercy

In many verses of the Qur’an, Allah mentions that Muslims—even those with the most fear of Allah—– may make mistakes. In one verse, Allah reveals;

Say [from Me]: ‘My servants, you who have transgressed against yourselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Truly Allah forgives all wrong actions. He is the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Merciful.’ ”(Surat az-Zumar; 53)

It surely brings relief to their hearts, for a believer who errs could feel great regret, sorrow and guilt.

Allah has made the scope for error so wide in human beings that He has promised to forgive a person’s errors without exception, if that person is sorry and repents of what he has done.

But despite of the many consolations in the Qur’an that refresh the spirit and give hope, many human beings do not admit that they make mistakes. In spite of the glad tidings announced in the Qur’an, after making a mistake they become wrapped in despair and become anxious and downhearted.

An individual who refuses to acknowledge errors he has committed out of pride and arrogance is greatly saddened by what he has done. He has trouble accepting that he is a creature prone to making mistakes and faulty decisions, and whose actions and words may be wrong.

He does not consider that perfection and freedom from error belong only to Allah. He wants to be perfect himself. But he cannot, and the fact that some of his attitudes are wrong (despite his desire that they not be), draws him into despair.

A believer experiences deep peace by accepting his imperfections and helplessness in relation to Allah and never claims to be free from error.

It should be remembered that the tendency to err and sin—even though one may be a firm believer—makes him more aware of Allah’s perfection. One can conceive of perfection only when he had experienced imperfection.

Consciousness of his own failures and weaknesses lets him better appreciate the absolute perfection of Allah.

Fear And Hope Are Two Pillars Of Faith

Fear and hope are two pillars of faith. By practicing either one of them a person will not fall into error, because both fear and hope lead to union. Those who fear devote themselves to God through fear of separation from Him, and those who hope worship in hope of realizing the ultimate union. 

-Al-Razi, "The Kashf al-Mahjub"       

Confidence,Trust and Hope

Confidence: Once upon a time in a certain village people decided to pray for rain. On the day of prayer all people gathered and only one boy came with an umbrella. That is Confidence, the boy was optimistic and confident that the prayers will be answered and definitely it was going to rain! That is why he carried the umbrella. 

Trust: Trust should be like the feeling of a one year old child, when you throw him up in the air, he just laughs. He is happy; he wants you to do it again and again! Do you know why? It's because he knows and trusts in you and has confidence that you will catch him and that you will never let him/her fall. That is Trust. 

Hope: Every night we go to bed, we have no assurance to get up alive in the next morning, but still we have plans for the coming day. That is Hope.

Hope is a wonderful thing, something to be cherished and nurtured and something that will refresh us in return. And it can be found in each of us and it can bring light into the darkest of places. 

Well-mannered model of good life: Be Confidence; Trust Others; and never lose Hope. ~Unknown

Do Not Lose Hope In Allah swt

Do not lose hope in Allah, for He is the Creator. He will create another way for you. Do not flee from your trials; patience in adversity is the foundation of all virtue, of compassion and sainthood. Patience is the foundation, and without a sound foundation you cannot build a monument.

-Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jillani, "Fayuz E Yazdani"  

The planning of the almighty is better for you than you own planning and he could deprive you from what you ask to test your patience.So let him see from you a determined patience and you will soon see from him what will give yo joy.And when you have cleaned the paths of answering (of supplication), from the stains of sin ( have repented) and were patient about what he has chosen for you, then everything that happens to you is better for you whether you were given or deprived of what you have requested. 
 -Ibn Jawzee

There Is A Second Chance

When it seems you have lost the battle of life, when you feel deserted even among your loved ones, when all your strength and determination seems to fly away in the Horizon, in just one dolt; when you repent over the loss of your most precious gifts in life, through no fault of yours, remember one thing; Nothing is constant and permanent in this world. Neither time nor life, neither solution nor problems, neither precaution nor cure, neither success nor failure. 

The thing you feel you have lost, was never yours, be it materialistic or a treasured relation, job or a person. You acquired it in the process of fighting the battle of time. Remember, you lose only when you possess it in the first place. It is you who achieved success in all the fronts of life. If you can do it once, you can do it again. 

-Do not lose hope. Have faith and believe in God.
