someone said, “don’t be afraid to start over again. this time, you’re not starting from scratch, you’re starting from experience”

[حيدر | Haydar @chronicalihere]

History seems cyclical because it is structural. As long as those same structures persist, its effects are reproduced. The Nakba has been ongoing— it wasn't just an event, but a process that never ended. As long as the zionist state exists, the ethnic cleansing which it was built through, will too.

Rather than exposure being the solution, it could be digging deeper and understanding the cause of your anxieties/nerves. Dealing with the source, instead of just symptoms.

[〰️ @monalogue]

"Don't wait until you're confident to show up. Show up until you're confident."

This doesn't always work. Especially if you continue to show up + expose yourself to uncomfortable situations and there still hasn’t been a breakthrough.

[Dr. Abdullah Ali @BinhamidAli]

A man came to the Prophet Muhammad--upon him God's blessing and peace--and asked, "What if a man comes wanting to take my property?" The Prophet responded, "Then, don't give him your property." The man continued, "What if he fights me [for it]?" The Prophet said, "Then, fight him back." The man continued, "What if he kills me?" The Prophet said, "Then you are a martyr." Then, the man asked, "What if I kill him?" The Prophet responded, "He is in Hell."

Sahih Muslim

[Mikael @mikael_jibril]

Every blessing is a test, because every blessing is a responsibility —

The responsibility asks "now you have been given an opening, a sensitivity, a healing, a partner, a wealth, a beauty, a strength, a depth of knowledge, how are you going to respond ?" /

This Love is etched in the veins of flowers. It is sculpted between edges of the mountains. It is coloured in the shades of the sky. It is written through pages of history and painted in the chambers of the heart. Even then, none of this is sufficient to describe its enormity.

Everytime I feel like disappearing from society, I remind myself of this hadith:

“The believer who mixes with people and is patient with their harm has a greater reward than the believer who does not mix with people, nor is patient with their harm.” (Ibn Mājah 4032)

Ended up spending some time in the children’s section to check out the picture books lol. One that I especially loved was @henakhanbooks’s book, ‘Like the Moon Loves the Sky’ 🥹

Went to the library today and forgot how much fun it is 🥲

Islam emphasizes potential, it emphasizes hope—that you can always turn back.

[〰️ @monalogue]

What should be acknowledged is that feeling a sense of guilt (after sin) isn’t a punishment. It’s proof of a beating, faithful heart. It is a gift that The Most Gentle has instilled in us as a marker of reassurance––both of our innate goodness and potential to do good.

Shame, on the other hand, disregards the idea of your potential for change. It instead, convinces you of the opposite. Which is far from the truth.

[Benjamin Perry @FaithfullyBP]

Want to hear something amazing about crying?

Emotional tears have higher protein concentration than irritant tears, which makes them fall down your cheeks more slowly—increasing the chance they’ll be seen and solicit care.

In literal ways, your body is built for community.

[Akbar Zab @ZabAkbar]

It's true what Shaykh @DrShadeeElmasry says in the clip. The devil does use sympathy as a tool. Look at this ḥadīth as an example:

[Dickie Bush @dickiebush]

I studied the writing routine of 500 legendary writers.

Turns out, great writing is simple—if you do these 6 things every day:

[〰️ @monalogue]

memories you took
like grapes off the vine
in citrus, in sweetness
with you all the time

you tasted My love
and turned Me away
your tears would make oceans
if I did the same

A vast unknown that cannot be seen unless it is felt, cannot be explored and understood unless you dive right into it. Each time you turn your head towards it, more is revealed to you.”

"The ocean is a physical manifestation and symbol of human consciousness and faith...

[〰️ @monalogue]

The ocean, just like our consciousness, has unimaginable depths and contents, undiscovered wonders, capacity for tranquil calm and for violent waves...
