Runaway Qalb

O Allah make my soul a sanctuary, a fortress within. That no one and nothing can disturb. A place of calm, silence, serenity, untouched by the outside world. ❤️

The intimacy of understanding someone is so underrated. Someone who’s gonna understand you and your feelings will always know how to love and take care of you. Like "how do you know this about me or how do you know I like this?" Because I understand, and I know you.

O Allah, I have been very unjust to myself and no one grants pardon against sin but You, therefore forgive me with Your forgiveness and have mercy on me. Surely, You are the forgiver, the Merciful.

Allahumma inni zalamtu nafsi zulman kathiran wa la ya’ghfirudh dhunuuba illa anta fa’ghfir li ma’ghfiratan min ‘indika warhamni innaka antal ‘ghafurur rahim.

اللهم آمين. اللهم صل و سلم على سيدنا محمد

اللَّهُمَّ باعِدْ بَيْنِي وبَيْنَ خَطَايَايَ كما باعَدْتَ بَيْنَ المَشْرِقِ والمَغْرِبِ

O Allah, put a great distance between me and my mistakes as You have made the distance between the East and the West.
