At a wedding last year, I sat beside an older woman during the reception.
Very elegant woman.
Halfway through the event, she asked me:
"Do you know the bride?"
I said yes.
Then I asked if she knew her too.
She smiled.
"I raised her."
I assumed she meant auntie or family friend.
Then she said:
"No. I was her father's mistress for 14 years."
I almost swallowed a fish bone.
The woman continued eating her jollof rice like she had told me the weather forecast.
Apparently the bride knew.
The mother knew.
The father knew.
Everybody knew.
I spent the rest of the wedding staring at my plate.
If you want to get married,
ask Allah for 3 things in a spouse:
1. Ya Allah, Grant me someone who will remind me of you.
2. Ya Allah, Grant me someone who will hold my hand in Jannah.
3. Ya Allah, Grant me someone who will elevate my Imaan.
Ya Allah, remove the heaviness that slows me in my worship, my salah, my efforts, and my goals. Replace it with energy, discipline, and steady consistency. Guide me to become the best version of myself and allow the potential You placed inside me to blossom by Your mercy,
Ya Allah 🤲🤲
Allahumma aminna fi awtanina, wa adim ni’matal-amni wal-istiqrari fi biladina bi rahmatika ya arhamar-rahimeen.
O ALLAH! Grant us security in our lands, and continue to bless us with peace and settlement there. With Your Mercy, O Most Merciful🤲🤲🤲

Quran says again and again:
And future will be better for you than the past (93:4)
If the hurt comes, so will the happiness (94:5-6)
So remember me and I will remember you (2:152)
Astaghfirullah for the times I begged for forgiveness and ran back to that sin.
Astaghfirullah for the blessings I've received and taken for granted.
Astaghfirullah for every time I was ungrateful.
Astaghfirullah every single time I have doubted His plans for me🥹
