O' Allah, make me better than what they think of me, and forgive me for what they don't know about me, and don't take me to account for what they say about me.
Underrated life advice: Have more hobbies and fewer opinions. Learn an instrument. Plant a garden. Build something with your hands. Cook. Paint. Run. The happiest people I know spend less time debating life and more time actually living it.
If it is written by Allah to be yours, it will be yours no matter what. You don't need to worry or stress about anything. There's no need to rush. Everything comes at it's appointed time. Know that what Allah has written for you is already making its way towards you.
it's all about Qadr:
Don't feed your heart with unnecessary anxiety. live your life at peace, knowing that - "what is meant for you will reach you, even if it is beneath the two mountains; and what's not meant for you will miss you, even if it is between your two lips."
Just when you feel like giving up on your dua's remember Allah's promise when He says: "I will provide you from places you would have never imagined.”
Quran | 65:3
a lot of people don't realise this but if you ask Allah for something and you don't have the emotional, physical, mental or spiritual capacity for it yet, then Allah may make you go through life experiences that will force you to grow and exceed your limits to become the person worthy of that blessing. Your struggle is not without purpose. Trust His process.
The real reason you're tired all the time: It's not your workload. It's your open loops. The text you haven't answered. The apology you owe. The decision you're avoiding. The conversation you keep postponing. These run in the background of your mind all day, draining your battery. Close your loops. Watch your energy return. Mental clutter is more exhausting than physical work ever will be.
May this be our last Ramadan battling debts that steal our sleep. May Allah grant us halal wealth, financial wisdom, and unexpected provisions that settle every bill with ease. 🤲
Ya Allah,
If you are hearing me tonight,
I come to You with a heart that is tired but still hopeful.
I am struggling quietly with things only You truly know.
Ya Allah,
I don’t know what to do or which path to choose.
Please open a way out for me where I see none.
Grant me clarity when my thoughts feel heavy and confused, and guide me so I do not choose out of fear, but out of wisdom.
Protect my journey, Ya Allah
my heart, my intentions, and my future.
Replace my worries with calm,
my doubts with trust,
and remind me that you are always near.
In this blessed month of Rejab,
draw me closer to You
and grant me strength beyond what I think I have.
Ameen.
