Biting bae when he least expects it

I'm not in this world to live up to your expectations and you're not in this world to live up to mine.

It's interesting how we only truly start to value the blessings in our lives when they are almost taken away from us. Alhamdulilah Allah protected us.

Thank you Muslim Tumblr for helping create this, it WOULD NOT have been possible without you. You all helped so much with your heartfelt stories and honest suggestions that inspired this journal. THIS IS FOR YOU ✊🏽 💜

I struggled with depression and anxiety after moving to a new country, having no friends, grades dropped and I got rejected from university. At my lowest point, I’d wonder if Allah cared about me or if He even existed. As cliché as it may sound, gratitude is what saved my life. I would write letters to Allah every day, thanking Him for the good things in my life. Even on the days where living was a struggle, I stuck to it. I gradually became more positive and motivated. Fast forward to today, I’m praying daily and doing all that I can to stay strong as a Muslim. Alhamdulillah.

Muslim mental health is hugely overlooked in our communities and it’s frustrating for all of us. No, you are not just overreacting or needing to “pray more” because you have a mental health condition. No, you are not hated by Allah and no, you are not alone. The mosque isn’t always a safe space for everyone and not all parents are educated on how they are impacting their children’s mental health. I have spent exactly a year after graduating university until now, working daily to create The Journal for Muslims. I believe it will help Muslims of all backgrounds build a positive daily routine around their Islam and be closer to Allah, as well as increasing productivity in school or work. I’ve already been using it myself and it freaking works!

Please don’t ever think you are “too far gone” or that “it’s too late” to have a healthy relationship with Allah. It’s NEVER too late. Allah is waiting for you. PLEASE BOOST THIS POST and let’s change the narrative around Muslim mental health! CLICK HERE TO GET A COPY OF THE JOURNAL.
