'Āishah رضي الله عنهما reported: RasūlAllāh ﷺ said:
“Verily, Allāh is Gentle, and He loves gentleness.
He rewards for gentleness what is not granted for harshness, and He does not reward anything else like it.”
📚 Saḥīḥ Muslim 2593
إِن يَنصُرْكُمُ ٱللَّهُ فَلَا غَالِبَ لَكُمْ ۖ وَإِن يَخْذُلْكُمْ فَمَن ذَا ٱلَّذِى يَنصُرُكُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ ۗ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ١٦٠
"If Allāh helps you, none can defeat you. But if He denies you help, then who else can help you? So in Allāh let the believers put their trust."
📖 Surah Āli 'Imrān 3:160
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي
Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun, tuhibbul-'afwa, fa'fu 'anni
“O Allāh, indeed You are the Forgiving One, You love to forgive, so forgive me"
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي
سَمِعْتُ الشَّافِعِيَّ يَقُوْلُ: عَلَيْكُمْ بِأَصْحَابِ الحَدِيْثِ، فَإِنَّهُمْ أَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ صَوَابًا
I heard Imām Shāfī'ī' رحمه الله say:
"Stick to the People of Hadīth, since they are the most correct from amongst the people."

Busy yourselves with the Dhikr of Allāh.
Al-Baqarah 2:152
فَٱذۡكُرُونِيٓ أَذۡكُرۡكُمۡ وَٱشۡكُرُواْ لِي وَلَا تَكۡفُرُونِ
So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me.
Strive to be from Ahlul Qur'ān.
Success is only found with the Qur'ān.
So exert yourselves in the Month of the Qur'ān.
Look how anything associated with the Qur'ān is elevated to a high station.
Al-Ḥasan Al-Baṣrī (رحمه الله):
The most deserving of people to be ascribed to the Qurʾān are those who adhere to it with actions, even if they do not recite it [often].
