I knew I was drifting. I could feel it—moving farther and farther away from the center, lost in a haze I couldn’t shake off. The fog surrounded me, thick and unyielding, pulling me deeper. I tried to find a way out, but the more I tried, the heavier it became.
Time and again, Allah reminds me of how this world can consume me, pulling me away from Him. And each time, He shows me—clearly, unmistakably—that I am not meant for this world. He pull...See more
As I finished my Salah, I pondered: How I used to pray in the past? Why did I view prayer as a burden, a responsibility to escape? Why were my prayers so ineffective, my recitations so passionless? Why did my worship feel reduced to a brief, mechanical ritual, lacking depth and meaning? Why did my recitations remain superficial, merely repeating Arabic phrases without understanding or passion? Why, as a Muslim, did I take so long to understand I...See more
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Especially Merciful,
Perhaps you have lost a parent; Perhaps you have lost a child; Perhaps you have lost a friend; Or perhaps you have lost your spouse.
When the days go by in the blink of an eye; When you scroll through your phone and you see your child ever so small and you look across the room and see how tall this same child has become! And your own pictures, just a few years ago you looked so ...See more

I used to walk this earth, as though this was everything, the parents I knew I thought were everlasting, I thought the world was a nice and calm place.
As we grew, we found loss, we understood that we will always have to live amongst injustice, sometimes some confusion, sometimes a pettiness and even little self worth. I could not keep up with the world and everytime I tried it ...See more

Bismillah
The less we worry about this life the better. When we contemplate the next life - the hereafter , our concerns become halved for anything in this life.
May Allah SWT make us of those who are here only to build there.
Are we taking Dunya (this Life) as a shade in our travel to Allah or settled & lost?
وَلَلاٌّخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ الاٍّولَى
And indeed the Hereafter is better for you than the present (Qur'aan 93:4)
Imam Ibn Kathir (رحمه الله) says: 'the abode of the Hereafter is better for you than this current abode. For this reason, the Messenger of Allah used to be the most abstinent of the people concerning worldly things, and he was the greatest of ...See more
