how can any language be ‘ugly’ if it’s always also the language passed along from a mother to her child, the language of two lovers in the dark, the language of stories told by grandfathers, the language of vows and eulogies, the language of learning and singing and feeling and connection and culture… how is all of that not inherently beautiful

Good morning again...

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my long message. I am sorry to have bothered you with it and I am so embarrassed to come off anon.

I don't want to steal any more of your time..

Feel free to share or, if anything, I have the relief that someone heard me.

Thank you again for your kindness.

Good morning,

Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m truly happy that my posts could be a source of solace for you. Your situation is quite complicated, and it hurts to know that you had to go through all of this.

As for him, it is difficult to say anything with certainty. We do not know every detail. Maybe he has truly repented and is serious about you. Or maybe it is all a bluff, and he may hurt you again.

At this point, I think it would be good for you to talk to a third person, perhaps a close friend or someone you trust, about this. You are in love, and because of that, it may be difficult for you to assess the situation practically. Another way to think about it is to ask yourself: if you had a daughter, would you be happy to give her to someone like him?

The human mind is very complicated. We can never fully know what is going on inside another person’s mind. So I cannot confidently tell you to go for it or not to go for it. Take your time. Discuss it with someone trustworthy. Think rationally. Ask God to help you reach the right decision, and once you make that decision, stay firm in it.

There are moments in moist love

when heaven is jealous

of what we

on earth

can do

Hafiz

[salamalaikum]

All of us young and old are doomed to die

No one remains in this world lastingly

This is the way of the lofty sky.

It holds In one hand a crown in the other a noose.

[harajukumasked]

The longer one is settled in sin, the more hardened the heart becomes. To the point that if one wishes to quit, one is unable. And whoever becomes weary of sinning, should increase in asking for forgiveness for it, until one’s heart softens from its lengthy settling in sin.

‏طول الإقامة على الذنب تقسي القلب، حتى يتمنى الإنسان الإقلاع فلا يستطيع، ومن عجز عن معصية فليكثر من الاستغفار منها حتى لا يقسو قلبه بطول ذنبه

– Shaykh Abdul Aziz al-Tarefe (May Allah free him)

As you grow old there are some roads you need to take alone. No friends, no family, no partner. Just you & God.
