Sometimes, when life feels heavy and our hearts feel low… I remind myself of this one ayah, and it brings me peace every single time:

"Indeed, what is to come will be better for you than what has gone by." (Surah Ad-Duhaa, 93:4)

SubhanAllah, what a promise from our Rabb. He knows your journey. He sees your silent battles. And He has written beautiful things ahead for you. Hold on. Don’t lose hope. Better days will come, إن شاء الله 🌸

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالاً فَهَدَى

This verse, “and He found you lost and guided [you],” is a powerful reminder of divine guidance and mercy. It highlights the moments in our lives when we may feel directionless, overwhelmed, or uncertain, and emphasizes that through faith, we can find the guidance we need. It reassures us that no matter how lost we may feel, Allāh is watching over us, ready to lead us to the right path. This verse encourages us to trust in His guidance, to seek it earnestly, and to remain hopeful, knowing that we are never truly alone in our journey.

I've noticed that some of the hardest tests are the ones no one can see. The du'a you've been making for years, the grief you never speak of, the waiting that seems never to end. May Allah reward every heart that endures in silence.

The scariest punishment is when Allah stops guiding you.

“Water is the softest thing, yet it can penetrate mountains and earth. This shows clearly the principle of softness overcoming hardness.”

— Lao Tzu

[glory-2-my-lord]

It’s a reminder about the uncertainty of life and focusing on the Akhirah / Hereafter rather than just dunya / worldly life.

We are living in such times where there is so much chaos and trials. Suddenly news has become common of illnesses spreading everywhere.

Today we hear that "so-and-so" person passed away from cancer, and tomorrow we get the news that "so-and-so" has returned to Allah, and no one knows when our own turn will come.

O people! Think about your Hereafter. Reduce the love of this world from your hearts, and limit your worldly affairs to just worldly matters. I swear by Allah! When a person leaves this world, nothing will benefit them afterward except their good deeds. 💚✨

I can't bear the thought of losing the people I love. It's something that crosses my mind often, and I don't know how Allah gives people the strength to carry such a test. Whenever I try to imagine it, my heart feels heavy. As strange as it may sound, I've often made du'a that Allah takes me back to Him before my loved ones. I know every soul belongs to Allah and will return to Him in its appointed time, and I submit to His decree. But my heart is not ready to let go of those I love so dearly. So I ask Allah to preserve them, shower them with mercy, place barakah in their lives, and reunite us all in Jannatul Firdaus, where there is no separation, no grief, and no goodbye.
