At this stage of my life, I hold on tightly to three things: Tahajjud, Istighfar, and Salawat. They open doors, soften hearts, and bring you closer to everything you're praying for and even more.

One day you will realize that prayer was better than sleep, but you slept. And reading the Quran was reassuring you, but you deserted it. And remembering Allah used to increase your day in blessing, but you were lazy. And seeking forgiveness was expanding your provisions but you ignored it. And the night prayer was reassuring your heart, but you left it. And the door of repentance is always open but you postponed it.

The problem is you think you have time but once you realize how short life is or how much of the time you have wasted and how close you are to your death, you will never be the same again. ✨

Continue praying even when you don't feel like it. Raise your hands up in Dua even when you feel you have no energy left, emotionally or spiritually. Push yourself to open the Quran though you feel helpless, dejected and broken.

For indeed, little drops of water make a mighty ocean. These small efforts will increase your good deeds in unimaginable ways. It's these small efforts that will help remove the rust from your heart, erase your sins, and strengthen your fight against the Shaytan. So, keep going. 🤍

Perhaps this waiting period is Allah’s way of softening your heart, deepening your du’as, and preparing you for something far greater than you imagined. Maybe this season of struggle is actually drawing you nearer to Him, strengthening your faith and building a patience that only He can reward. The delays, the closed doors, the detours—they aren’t setbacks, but signs that His plan is unfolding perfectly. Trust that His timing isn’t just good—it’s the best for you.

When you want something, turn to Allah. When you don't want something, turn to Allah. The point is everything you want and don't want can only be given and taken by Allah. Your hardships, your blessings, your pain and your happiness, can only be granted and removed by the will of Allah. So when you need the confusion to disappear, and when you need to understand the what's and the why's, turn to Allah. Turn to Allah and He will soothe your heart and comfort your soul, in ways that no one else can even try.

There is khayr (goodness) in your struggles. Every challenge you face is a sign of Allah's love and a reminder of His presence in your life. He tests those He loves to bring them closer to Him, to purify their hearts and to strengthen their faith. Embrace these trials with patience and trust in His wisdom, knowing that through them, you are being guided towards greater blessings and a deeper connection with Allah.

You are not stuck. You are not forgotten. Al-Muqaddim is preparing the way for you, even when you cannot see it. What is meant for you will come at the perfect time, not a second too early or too late. So breathe, be patient, and trust the One who moves mountains—He will move this for you too.

There is so much power in praying to Allah. The smallest thing could be on your mind, bugging you, hurting you, whatever it may be. It doesn't matter. Because Allah is listening and hears your silent thoughts. The feelings that you have that are buried deep in your heart, that you may not be able to articulate, Allah know of it. Make Dua and make Dua with your heart. There is so much power in talking to your Creator.
