Something I never want to take for granted.
Allah knows every single thing about me. Every fear I have never said out loud. Every dua I made and then felt too unworthy to repeat. Every moment I was trying even when it did not look like it from the outside.
And He has not given up on me.
That is not a small thing. That is everything.
We talk a lot about what we need to do better, pray more, be more consistent, be a better Muslim. And that pursuit matters. But sometimes we forget to sit with the fact that Allah's mercy is not something we earn. It is something He extends. Over and over again. No matter how many times we come back.
He is Al-Wadud. The Most Loving. Al-Ghaffar. The Repeatedly Forgiving. Al-Karim. The Most Generous.
These are not just names. They are promises.
You are not too far gone. You are not too inconsistent. You are not too messy or too complicated for Allah's mercy to reach you.
Turn back. However many times it takes. He will always be there when you do.
That alone is enough reason to keep going.
Maintain your rights and exclusive relationship with Allah.
In a world that constantly demands your attention, protect what belongs only to Allah.
There are conversations that should remain between you and your Lord.
There are tears that no one needs to witness.
There are acts of worship that do not need an audience.
There are struggles that are best healed through sincere du’a rather than public validation.
People will come and go.
Some will love you, some will disappoint you.
Some will stay for a season, others will leave without warning.
But Allah remains.
Do not become so attached to people that you neglect the One who created them.
Do not seek from creation what only the Creator can provide.
Maintain your rights with Allah:
your prayers,
your repentance,
your gratitude,
your trust,
your dependence upon Him.
And maintain that exclusive relationship that belongs to no one else.
Because on the Day when wealth, status, followers and even loved ones can no longer help us, the relationship we cultivated with Allah will be the one that matters most.
“And they were not commanded except to worship Allah, being sincere to Him in religion…” (Qur’an 98:5)
Protect your heart.
Guard your sincerity.
Preserve your connection with Allah.
Some relationships are temporary.
Your relationship with Allah is eternal.
Your worries are big to you.
They are small to Allah.
I serve an awesome God who breaks a coconut with an egg just to disgrace the stone
I serve a Lord who makes the impossible possible, who shatters mountains with pebbles and grants victory through the most unexpected means.
Indeed, Allah is over all things competent. (Qur'an 2:20)
I have a question for girls. If you want to ask someone about his salary, how would you ask in a way that doesn't make things awkward? What's the best or most polite way to ask someone about their salary?
Non Muslim: you wash your feet in the sink?
Muslim: er..
NM: you’re disgusting wash it in the bath tub
Muslim: ok
NM: you wash your face in the same sink you wash your feet and Muslims say they are clean?
Muslim: yeah
