Obsessed with Imām Ibn al-Qayyim's writings… اللهم بارك — رحمه الله رحمة واسعة
Different creatures… different ways of glorifying the Lord of the Worlds. ﴿ أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُسَبِّحُ لَهُ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَالطَّيْرُ صَافَّاتٍ ۖ كُلٌّ قَدْ عَلِمَ صَلَاتَهُ وَتَسْبِيحَهُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِمَا يَفْعَلُونَ ﴾ "Do you not see that Allah is exalted by whomever is within the heavens and the earth and [by] the birds with wings spread [in flight]? Each [of them] has known his [means of] prayer and exalting [Him], and Allah is Knowing of what they do." [24:41] Who taught every creature its own way of worship…? Who guided each being to recognize and praise its Creator…? May Allah allow us to become His true servants — those whose hearts, tongues, and lives remain connected to Him. آمين

Reflections & poetry

Hold on to relationships before they turn into memories...!
Hold on to relationships before they turn into memories...! We often realize the true value of our loved ones only after they are gone... But why can't we honor them while they are still with us, in their lives, when they need us the most? When they long for a kind word, a little attention, or a small favor, we often act too busy... and in doing so, we silently break hearts and weaken bonds — sometimes knowingly, sometimes without even realizing it. Maybe we've become so distracted, so "programmed," that we fail to see how much our presence means to those who love us. Wake up before it's too late. Talk to them. Listen to them. Be there for them... Value them now, before they become just a memory. — Amina Chahal

Some things are not meant to be held on to, they are meant to be let go.
Some things are not meant to be held on to, they are meant to be let go.

Not every moment is meant to be captured, some are meant to be lived with Allah, in reflection, love, and purpose.
Not every moment is meant to be captured, some are meant to be lived with Allah, in reflection, love, and purpose.

You can remain kind, compassionate, and respectful towards others, while still safeguarding your own well-being through healthy boundaries. True wisdom is knowing when to walk away and when to nurture what's worth keeping. You may not control how people treat you, but you always have the choice of what you accept and what you refuse.
(bilingual graphic; renders the same English + Urdu text as the caption)
A day will come when Allah Ta'ala will unveil the wisdom behind every moment you waited in pain. Until that day, keep raising your hands in du'a, keep knocking on His door with hope, and keep trusting that every delay carries hidden khayr. Because of our limited perspective, we often fail to recognize the wisdom and goodness hidden in delays. So place your trust in Allah Ta'ala, the One whose knowledge is limitless — past, present, and future are all within His knowledge. Indeed, Allah Ta'ala alone knows the most perfect timing for everything.

Sometimes, we search for in words what the heart has been quietly feeling for years… Baseerat is that search, a gentle journey of reflection, insight, and inner peace. This page is for the hearts that are trying to understand themselves, that seek Tarbiyah in the light of the Qur'an & Sunnah, and that long for moments of stillness — not empty silence, but closeness to Allah. Here you'll find: ✒️ Soulful writings from the heart, 🌿 Reflections on Tarbiyah, healing & self-awareness, 📖 Rooted in Qur'an & Sunnah. If you're someone who hopes to find or lose herself in words... You are welcome here. ❤️

Life is very uncertain... We don't know what's gonna happen to us next moment... Either we'll be alive or not! Let us be conscious of all what we do, say or think as it'll decide our eternal destiny i.e the hereafter. May Allah bless us all with the taqwa, guide us towards righteousness and keep us steadfast... May Allah bless us all with the good ending in the best state when He'll be most pleased with us.

In this duniya, a certain thing makes us feel fantasized to a certain point or time, after that we no longer have that kinda impact or interest... Perhaps because كل من عليها فان. May Allah make the aakhirah our most important concern and allow us to have the real concern about the jannah and His ridha... Aamiin! ~ Amina Chahal

You've wasted the day if you didn't learn something new today :) ... And you've wasted the full month if you didn't learn something new this month :) Days are passing... Ponder over yourself...! In which activities are you involved...? Are these activities beneficial for you...? Make good use of your health before sickness, your youth before your old age, your life before your death! May Allah allow us to do so... Aamiin! ~ Amina Chahal

Forwarding something by considering it a source of Ajar (rewards)? Please stop. First do proper research on it, ask the people of knowledge about the authenticity of that particular thing or topic and then move forward to sharing and earning sadaqah e jariyah! Because spreading something blindly without knowledge is more likely to bring the sharr instead of khair. But if it's coming from the authentic source i.e from the people of knowledge, then go ahead... رحمكم الله جميعا ~ Amina Chahal
Those who take you for granted... Limit the access granted to them in your life... Set healthy boundaries in relations.
