You must live with the conviction that Allah loves you, wants to forgive you, doesn't desire hardship for you, intends ease for you, will compensate you with better, gives you grief to mature you, isolates you to enjoy your company alone & place trials to humble you. Be patient.
Your entire life will change the day you realize discipline is the highest form of self-respect. It’s choosing what you want most over what you want now. It’s keeping your word. It’s an act of service to your future self.
this is for my muslim sisters
never forget you’re really that girl, the one Allah protected, guided, and carried. He’s been by your side every step, so how could you lose sight of your worth? you reflect His strength and mercy 🤍
You’re not as important as you think. The world moves on very quickly. Life goes on no matter what. And people don’t care as much as you think they do.
Just because you were upon guidance yesterday it doesn’t mean guidance is guaranteed today.
You have to keep working at it, keep asking for it; as it is a gift from Allah.
If you knew how many times Allah protected you from haram income,
toxic friends, wrong relationships,
you would cry from gratitude.
Not every rejection is pain,
some rejections are rescue missions.
This is how I feel the first time I meet someone’s parents or step into their home, like this is getting deeper and shouldn’t be taken lightly. You’re literally entering someone else’s world!!!
I don’t stay positive all the time, I stay grounded. I let grief, doubt, regret, & fatigue pass thru me freely without letting them define me, b'cause clarity eventually returns.
I hold onto my purpose, which steadies me when emotions fluctuate.
And, I remember to laugh.
There’s no shortage of love around me. I wake up every single day knowing there are people who love and care about me. That’s the main reason I can’t be convinced to deal with anything that’s takes me out of that place of love.
Underrated luxuries:
Salah on time, halal income, calm mind, deep sleep, modesty, stillness in sujood, dhikr daily, saying no to haram, dua in silence.
Wallah this is the hardest part of seeking Islamic knowledge. Not the learning, not the memorizing, not the exams, but the accountability you'll have to face about whether you used your knowledge for good is the scariest part
