Allah is the best of planners. And He truly knows the perfect time when he knows we can do something and need something. I’m so grateful for my religion. Alhamdulilah I’m Muslim and hope to stay this way. Insha’Allah. 🥹🫶🏼

I think it’s beautiful how a year ago, even a few months ago I never would’ve thought I would be able to give up music the way I have recently. Before Ramadan I made it a goal to ease my way out of listening to it and Alhamdulilah during Ramadan I made dua about it and I deleted all of my music and playlists. I’m so glad and thankful for that because I feel as though if I didn’t take that step after Ramadan I would’ve fallen back into it.

Now Alhamdulilah it’s months later and I no longer listen to music in my free time and even just the sound of it when it’s playing in movies or commercials bothers me. I’m so proud of myself and the grateful for the strength Allah gave me to get past this hurdle that was so hard for me for so many years.

I make dua for him. 🫶🏼

I wonder if he does the same for me.

Please, don’t joke about someone’s weight, facial features, insecurities, trauma, appearances, misery and scars. Know that those things are very sensitive. Please be kind always.

I’m on a journey. Trying to better myself,get to know myself, connect more with my Lord. It’s tough but I’m truly enjoying it. I have my ups and downs with myself and my imaan and how I want to practice and need to practice my Islam. The only thing I’m afraid of is going back to pre Ramadan me. I hated that version of who I was but it brought me closer to Allah and Islam so I don’t regret it one bit. I also struggle with wanting a friend in Islam to talk to about these things. But so far all I have is just my dua. I pray allah brings me a close friend that will bring me closer to my deen.

I haven’t been feeling my best self these past two weeks and I’ve just realized why….

I haven’t been making dua as frequently as I used to. I haven’t been having that one on one conversation with my Lord. I haven’t cried out to Him, or thanked Him since that day two weeks ago when I poured my heart out and cried to Him.

I need to fix this.

I will fix this.

I miss Him.

This Hadith sends shivers down my spine, May Allāh عزوجل safeguard us from the torment of the grave.

‎Jabir ibn Abdullah reported:

‎The Prophet ﷺ entered a palm garden of the tribe of Al-Najjar one day, and he heard the voices of men from the tribe who had died in the time of ignorance being punished in their graves. The Prophet went out startled and he commanded his companions, saying, “Seek refuge in Allah from the punishment of the grave.”

‎[Musnad Aḥmad 14152]

Alhamdulilah I’ve taken so many steps towards giving up music fully. That was always something I struggled with. And now that I’ve looked into how it affects people in so many ways and the ways it’s sinful I no longer want to participate in listening to it.

Subhanallah

Alhamdulilah

Trying to have sabr and tawakkal in this situation about feelings that won’t go away about a certain person.

I’m no longer giving my all to my supposed friends who can’t even be bothered to ask how my Eid or Ramadan was. I spent so much of my life being there for everyone and listening to them talk about anything and never being able to talk about myself and now this has just solidified it. They don’t care about ME they only cared about how I made them feel. I will be putting that time into Allah. The only one who can help me. Who is always listening and ready to hear my cries no matter how big or small.

This Ramadan meant so much to me because it gave me the space to grow and learn to fully love my religion like I’ve been begging Allah for. The way I felt so right doing the things I was made to do was incredible. The way I wanted to be that better Muslim and how it truly showed me who I could be if I only put in more effort. I solely put my trust in Allah. I put my time in with Allah. Daily. It’s what I needed. Allah knew. Allah knew it was what I needed and what I wanted and He blessed me with it. Alhamdulilah 🥹
