How you speak, how you talk, what you say, and how you make people feel

Is remembered -

Always, by the one hurt, by the one affected.

To be kind is to also take accountability - if you remember how you’ve hurt someone, apologize.

I understood my strength;

because I didn't want it, it could never be for me and therefore wasn't for me. & what's not for me, I don't want --

no matter how deeply I desire it.

I too, to be written. I too, to be read. I too, to be learned and yearned and not to be instead.

I too, am.

I’m here. There. In all places. Everywhere but present. Be in the now, be here. There. Be everywhere - but be present. Live the moments.

Seek forgiveness and grace, give thanks and gratitude always. In hardship, despair, in joy and blessings.

Ibn Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“Your nafs is just like your enemy, once it finds you serious, it obeys you. If it finds weakness from you, it will take you as a prisoner.”

[Bada'i Al-Fawa'id, v. 3, p. 1202]

Coming and going at the same time - moving, always. Flowing and shifting - never still. A run on run on sentence of just words and flows; a break here and there but even then, just words and flows. Life can be chaotic and calm, moving so much and at the same time - coming and going. Moving, always.

May the remembrance of Allah remind you to be still and to give gratitude.

Dear Self,

You'll find peace when you lean into uncertainty as a form of empowerment. Remember, life's not just about tolerating unpredictability, but mastering the art of thriving within it. Uncertainty is your stage, not your cage. You got this.

Cycles -

Life. Breath. Life - breathe.

Death. Breath.

In every moment, we are to Allāh & to Allāh is our return.

Every moment.

With every breath, may our return to Him be filled with the longing to see and be with our Creator. In a forever we can’t even conceptualize.

May we live in every moment, truly. Alhamdulilah for the now. Alhamdulilah for the now. Alhamdulilah for the here.

To fear Allāh so much that our very sins lead us to Allāh’s Mercy.

Ya Allāh - may every action and intention lead back to you.
