“If Allah wants well for a slave, He strips away from his heart the ability to see his own good deeds and speaking about them with his tongue, and preoccupies him with seeing his own sin, and it continues to remain in front of his eyes until he enters jannah.”
“The Qur'an is one of those rare religious books, or perhaps the only holy book that keeps making reference to things outside itself. It keeps drawing the attention of the reader to the phenomenal world encouraging him/her to try to understand it. By occasionally diverting the gaze of the reader to the phenomenal world the Qur'an is telling us something very important about its nature. The Qur'an is telling us without a hint of ambiguity or circumlocution that it is not a book that is closed upon itself. It is a book that is open to the world, to the universe, as the world and the universe are open to the Qur'an. A human being wishing to be a Muslim is required to first situate him or herself in the Qur'an and then to turn his/her gaze onto the universe from whence the gaze is reflected back on the Qur'an. It is only when one is situated in and by the Qur'an that he/she is able to read the universe as consisting of the signs of Allah and then returning the gaze back to the Qur'an understanding it differently, which in turn requires understanding the universe differently and the process continues till the end of time.”

Never forget to keep asking Allah for a good ending to your life and keeping you away from a evil ending. It’s all good and well asking for blessings in dunya or aakhirah but how you die is a good indication about how successful you were in your life.
