Today I learned that Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahulla) never married. It made me reflect on how Allah writes a different story for each of us; some leave behind children, others leave behind knowledge that lives for centuries🥹
Marry a man who wants to make your life easy regardless of his income, don’t marry a man who romanticise or glorify poverty and struggles. Marry a man who’s generous and god fearing. Poverty brings humiliation, debt and misery. May Allah save us from poverty and grant abundance.
The way Katsina people attach their villages to their names is really nice. I have friends I call Shargalle, Faskari, Bakori, Bindawa etc. Sad I cannot call myself “Kaduna North”.

Even in death, my mother’s prayers are reaching me🥹. Alhamdulillah ya Allah. Ya Allah grant her even more coolness in her grave and reunite us in Jannah.
After a certain age, your parents slowly become your children. They ask simple questions, repeat stories, and depend on your patience the way you once depended on theirs. Very few understand this role reversal.What looks like innocence or inconvenience is really time coming full circle. Don't correct them harshly. Don't rush them. Care for them the way they once protected you. This is not a burden. It is repayment.
