It’s the sense of serenity for me. Those few seconds of sujood, no barrier between you and Allāh. And even though He knows whats in your heart, He still listens. That’s what keeps me going.

The mother is the first school. If she is righteous, the progeny becomes righteous.

Dark academia but with Islamic vibes

Doing zikr constantly under your breath

Reading about islamic prophets and sufis on your candle lit desk

Writing letters to Allah

Copying your favourite poetry in your leather journal while sipping kahwa

Books about the history and beauty of islam stacked on the side of your desk

Keeping a zikr checklist on your phone

Having an obsession of fountain pens

Lighting a candle in the evening that smells like freshness and wood

Donning layers of clothing in winters whilst deciphering the meaning of some arduous poetries by Rumi and other poets

Antique tea pot and cups beside the Quran

Sharing the stories of the Prophets and sufis with your family for evening tea time.

And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.

— Haruki Murakami

“بل تكاد تكون قاعدة أن القلب لا يصحو إلا بالألم والنفس لا تشف وترهف إلا بالمعاناةIt is almost a rule that the heart does not mend except through pain, and does not recover and regain its tenderness except through suffering.”

Put your thoughts to sleep, do not let them cast a shadow over the moon of your heart. Let go of thinking.

“The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don’t go back to sleep.”

— Rumi (via afroui)

[fuckyeahrumi]

“All night, a man called “Allah” Until his lips were bleeding. Then the Devil said, “Hey! Mr Gullible! How comes you’ve been calling all night And never once heard Allah say, “Here, I am”? You call out so earnestly and, in reply, what? I’ll tell you what. Nothing!” The man suddenly felt empty and abandoned. Depressed, he threw himself on the ground And fell into a deep sleep. In a dream, he met Abraham, who asked, “Why are you regretting praising Allah?” The man said, “ I called and called But Allah never replied, “Here I am.” Abraham explained, “Allah has said, “Your calling my name is My reply. Your longing for Me is My message to you. All your attempts to reach Me Are in reality My attempts to reach you. Your fear and love are a noose to catch Me. In the silence surrounding every call of “Allah” Waits a thousand replies of “Here I am.””

— Rumi (via momnaaaa)
