I’ve realized that many people don’t actually love reading books. They love the identity of being someone who reads books. The aesthetic of it. The photos. The intellectual vibe. But the quiet discipline of reading slowly and thinking deeply? That part is very unpopular.

Eid isn’t the same when that one family member is no longer with you anymore, there’s always a sense of loss. May Allah reunite us in Jannah with our loved ones that didn’t make it to Eid.
Always ask Allah to bless you with eyes that see the good in people, a heart that forgives their faults, a mind that lets go of the bad, and a soul that never stops showing kindness.
My father always told me: "If you want to go for a run, go for a run, don't look for company. Sooner or later, on your fifth run or your twentieth, likeminded people will find you themselves." And only recently have I realized that this principle works everywhere.
