Sometimes the hardships that we want Allah to remove are actually the things that are anchoring our hearts in His remembrance.
If He were to remove them, we would forget Him and forgetting Him would be a greater calamity than the hardship we are facing.
My sweet darling,
all these tears,
this hurt,
the pain in your heart,
do not fight it anymore,
it is a gift, you see, to feel this much and even though it’s hard
it means you’re alive
