“Sometimes you just have to be brave. You have to be strong. Sometimes you just can’t give in to weak thoughts. You have to beat down those devils that get inside your head and try to make you panic. You struggle along, putting one foot a little bit ahead of the other.”

— James Marsden

Quran

[jihandumam-ag]

One day you’ll have whatever it is you’re now so confusedly seeking. That kind of calm that comes from knowing oneself and others. But you can’t rush the arrival of that state of mind. There are things you only learn when no one teaches them. And that’s how it is with life. There’s even more beauty in discovering it for yourself, in spite of the suffering.

Clarice Lispector, from "Gertrudes Asks for Advice" in The Complete Stories

[jihandumam-ag]

sometimes, I’m just so afraid to feel attached to someone. I hate the feeling of losing someone who you allowed to become such a big part of your life.how someone you text everyday, and hang out so often, can turn into a complete stranger the next moment.  It scares me.   

[jihandumam-ag]

Allah has created everything so flawless, this takes me back to thinking how beautiful my creator will be ? Subhan Allah! I can’t believe i captured Jupiter right above the moon, it’s splendid Subhan Allah 🌒 🌕

Quran

....Sins...

Sins committed in private are often the cause of losing steadfastness upon Eeman, while worship performed in private is the key to maintaining steadfastness upon Eeman.

act hard all u want, i know my absence is felt.

[jihandumam-ag]

إِنْ كُنْتَ قَدْ فَوَّضْتَ أَمْرَكَ إِلَى اللَّهِ،

If you have entrusted your affairs to Allah,

فَلِمَ تَخَفْ أَوْ تَقْلَقُ؟

Then why are you worried or fearful?

أَمَا تَعْلَمُ مَنْ هُوَ اللَّهُ؟

Do you not know who Allah is?

[jihandumam-ag]

If someone keeps reminding you of Allah, then know that their love for you is true.

Bilāl ibn Sa’d رحمه الله said:

Indeed, you have a Lord who is not quick to punish any of you. He pardons mistakes, accepts repentance, turns towards those who come to Him, and shows mercy to those who turn away.

حلية الأولياء للحافظ أبو نعيم الأصبهاني (5/223)

[jihandumam-ag]

I love my lord but struggle to obey Him, I force my heart to stay steadfast on the straight path yet every single time I find myself back to square one. 

I poured the blame on everyone already, depression, evil eye, shaytan, my environment.. everyone!

I can’t believe blaming myself… I’m not like this? Or perhaps I am? Maybe I always was but never noticed? Or perhaps my heart got tainted from the amount of evil I involved myself into? 

Maybe in the end it is indeed me, maybe I am the problem, and the solution should also come from me… but that’s the hardest part! Thinking that my success relies on me is frightening, and I always avoid this thought, but for how much longer will I be heedless? How much longer will I let my youth and the blessings bestowed by Allah upon me have a chance to speak against me before my Lord -the one I claim to fear and love, yet struggle to worship-. 

Wish I could finish this text with a motivational phrase, or a good ending, a nice conclusion, but motivation is not what I need, I need action.
