In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Especially Merciful,
A deep and intimate conversation with Allah.
When is the last time we had that?
Thereafter your head will rise with humility, your heart less burdened. A strength fortified by God. You cried for the world and this life. As you lifted your head from a lengthy and sincere prostration, He realigned your focus towards the afterlife.

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Especially Merciful,
A few weeks ago, I moved from the UK to Canada with my husband and children. My husband gave me some money to spend upon myself. So I looked at what I have and I felt Allah has given me a lot. I don’t want to buy anything just for the sake of spending money. So I kept the money for a few weeks. I contemplated and contemplated what I should purchase as my first gift? I prefer right...

When you go on a scavenger hunt, you're given a list of things to find because in order to find something, you have to know what you’re looking for.
And that’s exactly why we struggle with tawakkul when it comes to our rizq. Because with our duas we create a list of things we want to have. A house. A job. A spouse. A number in our bank account. And once we’ve decided what it’s supposed to look like, we begin to look for those specific things.

In the name of Allāh, the Most Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
I was having a conversation with a course mate (a non-muslim) who is currently going through a difficult time and kept complaining about her situation. it reminded me of this verse which I shared with her while trying my best to explain it to her. Sadly, I feel she might not be able to fully comprehend its meaning and appreciate its message. it might not even seem logical for her ...

Seek help through prayer and patience. Instead of seeking help from others. No one can provide you a better answer than Allah and no one can fix your problem better than Allah

Allah tells us in this ayah to seek help through patience and prayer. However what we’re seeking help for is not specified. It is as though Allah is telling us to seek help for every aspect of our lives. To seek help in times of hardship and ease. To seek help even when we might not realize we need it.

Ya Allah,
Let my prayer be a safe haven where I pour out my heart and soul to you,
Where my tired body stands before you to find strength,
Where my busy mind comes to you to find peace,
Where my heavy heart calls out to you to find comfort,
Where my soul submits to you to find serenity,
For when I stand before You, I pray that,
wounds heal,
worries lift,
and Your love prevails.
