❝He was kind to her, always obliging. He would rarely contradict her due to his love for her; a love that sprouted from both his human nature and religiosity.❞
[Al-Bidāyah Wa Al-Nihāyah]

Wallahi, I am more scared of the wrongs I have done to people than the sins I have committed to Allah.
I can repent to Allah in private, and He will forgive me. I don't know if I will be able to apologize to people for all the hurt. I don't know if they will forgive me.
