وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب

And to your Lord direct your Longing.

As humans, we’re always in a perpetual state of yearning. For someone. For something. A dream. A memory. And we spend so much of our energy, our thoughts, our efforts, trying to attain or appease the object of that longing. But imagine if that longing was for Allah. How easy life would become. How light. How beautiful. Because we’d finally be doing what we were created for but with ease, with love, and with so much hope.

I know nothing. There is nothing that I know. But the heart senses certain things.
