literally men will believe a woman is a słut from a man with zero proof but all of a sudden they need 300 photos, 55 videos, 15 police reports and 20 witnesses to believe a man is a rapisť. Make it make sense.
I used to think Eid al-Adha was simply about sacrifice.
About Ibrahim.
About Ismail.
About qurban.
But the older I get, the more I realize it was never only about that.
Then one day I came across a line that stayed with me ever since:
DON’T JOKE WITH THIS DUA: Ya Allah when the day of Arafah ends, let me wake up as someone different. Cleaner. Peaceful. Closer to You. Please Don’t let this be just another day I wasted. Let it be the day that changed my eternity
This year, If you’ve witnessed:
✅Ramadan
✅Laylat al-Qadr
✅Eid al-Fitr
✅Day of Arafah
✅Eid al-Adha
Say Alhamdulillah.
You were alive for some of the holiest days in Islam this year. Don’t take it for granted.
Heal me on the Day of Arafah, Ya Allah. Heal me so deeply that even my memories stop hurting. Replace the tears in my eyes with light in my heart. Make me forget the words that wounded me and remember only that You are enough for me.
And one day you wake up and you're 23 or 25,or 27 and suddenly everything feels like it's moving too fast. You miss something can't you quite name. Not a person, not a place, just a feeling. The feeling of being young, when everything was new and the smallest moments felt big. Late night talks with friends, walking home in the dark laughing about nothing, summers that felt like forever. You just want that again - to feel alive in the little things, to slow down, to be here, really here, before it all becomes another memory.
