7 tips in getting closer to Allah SWT

read the Qur'an everyday reading the word of Allah and understanding what you are reading will make you feel close to Him as you know that this is not a Book that anyone has just written - it has come directly from Allah SWT. subhanallah. reading and understanding what He says will make you want to practise what the Qur'an says and, in turn, be closer to Him.

be around people who remember Allah human beings have great influence on each other so it is important to have righteous people around you. their relationship with Allah SWT will inspire you to build and improve yours.

understand what you recite in salah knowing what you are reciting will help you understand how many blessings you are gaining with just a single prayer. take time to learn the translation (if you do not speak/understand arabic) of what you are reciting and why.

learn Allah's 99 names and attributes 'And to Allah alone belong all perfect attributes; so call on Him by these' (7:181) Allah likes it when we call Him by his names and it is important to recognise and understand Him. think of Him as your friend: when you get to know someone better, you get closer to them. it is the same thing, in fact, better, with Allah SWT.

have secret good deeds between you and Allah again, like having a friend, having something that is just between you and your Lord will make you feel closer to Him.

make lots of du'a - especially in sujood having your dua's come true is the best feeling, especially when you have been praying for something for a long time, alhamdulillah. praying for anything, no matter how big or small, will make you feel closer to Him as you know that He alone will make everything okay and knows what is best for you.

remember death and prepare for it this one can be very hard but it is important to remember that death can come at anytime so always try and do good deeds and live righteously in order to please Allah. when having this mindset that each day is a new chance to seek forgiveness and do good deeds, you will feel closer to Him by wanting Him to be happy with you.

i find it really fascinating that so many people are frustrated about phumpeem’s relationship label or the lack of it. when it’s evident that it’s not even bothering the characters themselves.

they never had a conventional start to begin with anyway so why did you expect their relationship to go step by step according to whatever manual you have about how a romantic relationship should work. and this also goes back to kissing someone doesn’t equivalent to liking them. same as being physically attracted to someone doesn’t mean you’re emotionally in love with them.

everything about phumpeem started out as physical attraction. peem kissed phum in ep 5 without even knowing whether he genuinely likes the dude or not, literally kissing for the sake of kissing. because he simply just wanted to kiss phum. and that is okay ! that’s fine. that’s normal. it doesn’t have to be that deep. things like this DO happen in real life and im baffled that most people just don’t get it.

and yes, it sounds silly that by ep 12, peem is telling phum to try to win his heart after EVERYTHING they have done with one another. but peem WANTS this. he didn’t get to have this prior to everything and he wants it. yes he’s clearly already in love with phum, he knows it, phum knows it, everyone and their mothers know it. but sue him for wanting phum to romance him up a little. a little courting. for wanting phum to woo him. sweeping him off his feet. for wanting all the cheesy cringey things that come with that early stage of falling in love.

and for phum, he knows that they had a rough start. fully aware that he wasn’t that nice to peem in the beginning and he clearly wants to make up for it. he openly telling peem how he feels now, he directly flirts and he tells peem that he’s flirting. all of his cards are out and they’re fully out this time. he’s not shy anymore, he’s not insecure about showing peem how he feels. he’s not taking two steps forward and one step back. he’s all in. and he’s happy to do all of that in order to attempt to win peem’s heart, just like how peem had asked him to do so. yes he KNOWS peem already likes him but that’s not gonna stop him from doing his absolute best to pursue peem. he’s not taking anything for granted. peem’s feeling included.

and i can not stress this enough so i will keep reiterating it, this process WORKS for them. they’re going so steady and they’re comfortable in this nest of a relationship that they have built for each other. so why are we as audiences so bothered by the fact that they haven’t called each other boyfriends yet ? when they’re clearly far passed that. they can do the boyfriend label this ep or they can do it in ep16. it’s clearly not a problem for them because they already feel so secured with one another.

so idk. sit back and enjoy the fucking show maybe ? it’s a cute little gay show about a bunch university gay boys in their early 20s. why does it have to be so serious for some of y’all?

Is skk abusive? Other than the name calling and banter that I just don't take seriously, I've seen people say that Dazai is abusive since he planned for Chuuya to be tortured in stormbringer and didn't help because it would be boring, despite having the ability to do so. There's also the whole manipulating the sheep thing.

I've also seen people say that Chuuya is abusive because of how violent he is, how he punched Dazai to wake him up in Dead Apple and called him inhuman(? Ngl, I don't remember that part) and because Chuuya shot him more times than necessary in Meursault.

Personally, I struggle to see them as abusive r toxic, if only because of how much they trust and understand each other, and how they rile each other up for fun without letting it actually impact their relationship, but I may just be biased? What do you think?

Ok im just gonna say - dont take this post ad some 100% real wisdom or anything. It's just my personal opinion and it's definitely biased as well because of how much these two mean to me but yeah

I wouldn't call them abusive in relationship terms because all that banter and most of their fights are just, as u said it, unserious.

They're both fucked up a bit tho, so yeah there's definitely some toxic behaviours anyway.

Dazai manipulating Chuuya to join the sheep always made me real sad, but if you think about it more - Dazai knew The Sheep aren't any better for Chuuya. Plus if not like this, Mori would get Chuuya to join PM anyway in one way or another, since it was a plan from the beginning.

Dazai planned the whole 'helping Verlaine' thing to buy time so the PM forces could get ready to protect Mori and Chuuya later. That's mafia they're in - lives are not equal. Also Dazai wouldn't put Chuuya in danger he knew the other wouldn't be able to deal with. Either way, his whole yapping about wanting to see Chuuya being tortured is yet again that stupidly weird banter of theirs. After all, he's trying to find him and literally stop him from doing something he would regret. (Sab is trying to make some points but that still doesn't make whatever Dazai did something good. Just sayin. I just don't feel it's a black or white situation.)

I said it some time ago but lord, Chuuya is not abusive. Look, he knows when it's alright to fight Dazai and when he should stop himself not to hurt him. Even if they fight, he never does it seriously. Basement scene? He could've very well just punched Dazai without warning there. But instead he literally invited him to fight - and Dazai very much agreed to that sht with a smile on his lips. They're just very much not okay in the head on both sides. Later when Chuuya actually got angry, he himself threw his knife to the ground, which only shows he doesn't really have any intent of hurting Dazai seriously (In the manga. In the anime they changed it for whatever reason and he did strike him with the knife. But anime skk is just. Anime skk.).

That Dead Apple argument is so funny bc??? Chuuya was literally UNDER CORRUPTION AT THE TIME??? Corruption literally makes him lose control. He could kill a person with one touch. Instead??? Corruption Chuuya in dead apple somehow managed to hold himself back just enough not to actually hurt Dazai. Also, Dazai f knew he's gonna punch him anyway. I mean, bro kinda deserved it atp tbh /j

Cant really tell much about the shooting thing in Meursault - i stil have no f idea if these were even real, considering the fact Dazai is moving normally and there's no wounds/holes/blood visible on him or his clothes. These were probably just a play like the whole headshot thing?? (Tho dazai's scream and expression after that arm shot say otherwise),, really don't know, call it a better impression on Fyodor or Chuuya actually paying Dazai back for the other times

Ok so ,looks at all that sht i just wrote and tried to still excuse it somehow, I wouldn't call them abusive anyway just bc I've seen actual abusive relationships in real life and that's just uhh different in a way i cant really put my finger on,, there's some toxicity simply from the fact they're emotionally constipated and won't talk things thru like they should but,,, welp. Tbh i see most of their usual fighting as something unserious that both of em r okay with. Usually when they actually get into an argument about something it's because one actually got hurt by the other's words (for example that scene with Chuuya punching Dazai after he made jokes about Colonel's death). And they apologize without really apologizing, too (Dazai going to find Shibusawa and trying to take revenge on Colonel's death and later Chuuya going to rescue Dazai and saying to 'wait for him').

Unpopular opinion but i honestly feel that in the future they could very well form a normal, healthy relationship. They just really need to talk. Bickering and calling each other names for fun isn't imo really a form of abuse, when both sides know it's not meaning to hurt the other fr (if it was, then me and most of my friends would be fr abusing each other unfortunately) (and I don't feel abused even if we call each other names and say we hate each other, while watching cat reels together at the same time) (consider this some sibling-like stuff)

If nothing of whatever i just said makes sense, don't eat me please, it's just really hard for me to explain what i really think without being able to just talk for 5h straight while considering every ppint of view

Love in the Shadows Pt. 5

Summary:

Azriel decides it's time to introduce Y/n to the Night Court. Nervous about their reactions, he takes Y/n to the House of Wind, where the couple's relationship is revealed. Unknown to Y/n, she is Azriel's mate, and Rhysand senses the bond but keeps it to himself.

Word Count: 717

Warnings: None

Introducing Y/n

Azriel stood at the entrance of the House of Wind, his heart pounding in his chest. He glanced at Y/n beside him, her hand clasped tightly in his. She gave him a reassuring smile, her eyes filled with love and encouragement.

"It’s going to be fine," she said softly, squeezing his hand.

He nodded, taking a deep breath. "I know. I just... I want them to understand how important you are to me."

"They will," she assured him. "We’re in this together."

With a final, fortifying breath, Azriel led Y/n into the main hall. The Night Court members were gathered, discussing various matters. Cassian was the first to notice their arrival.

"Az, who's this?" Cassian asked, a curious look on his face.

Azriel swallowed hard, his grip on Y/n’s hand tightening. "There’s something we need to tell you all," he began, his voice steady despite the nerves churning in his stomach.

The room fell silent as all eyes turned to them. Rhysand and Feyre exchanged a glance, a hint of a smile playing on Rhysand’s lips.

"Go on, Az," Rhysand encouraged, his tone gentle.

Azriel took a deep breath, his eyes meeting each of his friends in turn. "This is Y/n. We’ve been seeing each other for a while now."

For a moment, there was silence, and then Mor’s eyes narrowed slightly. "Seeing each other? How long has this been going on?"

"Three months," Azriel replied, trying to keep his voice calm. "I wanted to be sure before I introduced her to you all."

Cassian crossed his arms, a skeptical look on his face. "Why haven’t we heard about her before now?"

Azriel felt a pang of anxiety. "I needed to be sure. Y/n is important to me, and I wanted to protect what we have."

Feyre stepped forward, offering Y/n a warm smile. "Welcome, Y/n. It’s a pleasure to meet you."

Y/n returned the smile, though Azriel could feel the slight tremble in her hand. "Thank you, Feyre. It’s an honor to be here."

Rhysand nodded, his gaze assessing but kind. "Anyone important to Az is important to us. Welcome to the Night Court, Y/n."

Mor and Cassian exchanged a look, their apprehension still evident. "Well, if Azriel trusts you, that’s good enough for me," Mor said, though her tone was cautious.

Cassian nodded slowly. "Yeah, just... we’re protective of our family. You understand."

Y/n smiled, her eyes meeting Cassian’s with understanding. "I do. And I promise, I only want what’s best for Azriel."

The group settled into a more relaxed atmosphere, though the initial tension lingered slightly. They moved to the sitting area, where drinks were poured and conversations began to flow more easily.

Cassian leaned back in his chair, still watching Y/n with a hint of curiosity. "So, Y/n, how did you two meet?"

Azriel glanced at Y/n, giving her a reassuring nod. She took a deep breath and began to recount the story of their meeting, how Azriel had saved her from a dangerous situation.

"And ever since then, he’s been my rock," she concluded, her voice filled with gratitude. "I don’t know where I’d be without him."

Mor’s expression softened slightly. "That sounds like our Az. Always the hero."

Rhysand observed quietly, sensing the bond between Azriel and Y/n but keeping his thoughts to himself. He knew this was a revelation that would come in its own time.

Azriel felt a surge of relief as the group began to accept Y/n, their initial apprehension melting away. He knew it would take time for them to fully trust her, but this was a good start.

As the evening wore on, the conversations grew lighter, filled with laughter and stories. Azriel watched as Y/n interacted with his friends, her warmth and kindness shining through.

Later, as the evening wound down, Azriel and Y/n found themselves alone on the balcony, the city of Velaris spread out before them.

"How are you feeling?" Y/n asked, leaning into his side.

"Relieved," Azriel admitted, wrapping an arm around her. "And happy. Thank you for being so amazing."

She smiled, resting her head on his shoulder. "We’re in this together, remember?"

"Always," he agreed, pressing a kiss to her temple. "Always."

Author's Note: Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed this continuation of Azriel and Y/n's story. Feel free to leave comments and let me know your thoughts!
