There is a pain I know not how to name. It is the pain of the people closest to you not wanting you to be happy.

It feels like spasms (Jasleen)

Find someone who pays attention. Who runs their fingers over your every scar; and asks where each one came from. Find someone who knows how you like your coffee; what song makes you want to roll the windows down and slam on the gas pedal. Find someone who takes in your smallest details; who notices the things you thought no one ever would. And then…when you find them… Be their someone, too.

Why do you love your god?

How could i not love a Lord who said if i walk to Him, He would run to me. Who showers me with affection while He is Self-Sufficient, rich beyond need, and i stand in need of Him. Whose doors are always wide open, He holds out His Hand to accept the repentance of the one who sinned by day, and He holds out His Hand during the day to accept the repentance of the one who sinned at night.

Why would my heart not overflow with love for Him?

My mother taught me the power of tahhajud since I was a little girl. She told me that when life gets hard, the last third of the night holds the keys to my ease. Til this day, I race fajr by a few minutes to soak my palms and my feet- and come to You in desperation and need. I tell You my secrets though they are already planted in Your knowledge. ‘My Lord, I am aching. My Lord, I am breaking. My Lord I have wronged you. My Lord, I have wronged myself. Please take me back. Please don’t leave me. Oh Opener of ways, open for me a path out of my self inflicted despair!“ And surely enough, my mother’s wisdom and Your infinite mercy saves my undeserving soul from self destruction.

Tahhajud is key (via faintsmiles)

Below freezing temperatures = give kisses to the backyard through the window because it’s too cold to go outside.

But sometimes we get extra bundled & go outside anyways.

He needs friends. I’m going to break out of my introverted shell and try to get him some neighborhood friends this week.

سورة الناس

Say, “I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind.

The King of mankind, 

The God of mankind.

From the evil of the retreating whisperer 

Who whispers [evil] into the breasts of mankind. 

From among the jinn and mankind.” -
