#it is really precious to Allah SWt

[sisterssafespace]

Assalam u alaikum

I don't know why all of my excitement for Ramadan suddenly faded. Alhamdulillah I am grateful that Allah has allowed me to witness this beautiful month but I'm feeling so unenergetic and unenthusiastic

I'm worried about whether I've done something wrong, and that's why I'm just not getting that starry eyed feel..

I don't want Ramadan to pass and then feel like I wasted all my time

Any advice?

Jazak Allah khair!!

و عليكم السلام و رحمة اللّٰه و بركاته 🤍

Tbh such a genuine precious question, I appreciate you for keeping it real.

I just wanna start off by saying that what you feel is completely normal, it's only human and it does not make you a bad Muslim my dear.

There is so much " peer-pressure " around Ramadan SubhanAllah sometimes people turn it into a competition, especially on social media, but we tend to forget that Ramadan is between the Slave and her or his Lord. Fasting is for Allah swt only, praying, duaas, qiyam, reading the Quran, sadaqat, etc.. everything should be private and personal, just between you and Allah swt. And Allah swt KNOWS That we are not all the same, He swt the All-knowing does know that to each their circumstances, to each their endurance or level of strength, and Allah swt does not burden a soul beyond what it can handle. So, He will not judge us or compare us to anyone else. Alhamdulillah for such a merciful Creator and such an accomodating religion.

With that being said, you didn't necessarily do anything, it could be your hormones for example, it could be your circumstances, school or work or family issues la qaddar Allah, stress, anxiety, anything can interfere with our mood or make us not feel " it ". But just to make sure, you can start with a werd of istighfar daily where you say AstaghfiruAllah x 100 and in shaa Allah this gloomy cloud over your mood will slowly be lifted.

Also, you do sound like you need a companion, a sister in Islam who will help you, motivate you, pick you up when you feel down, share stories with you, boost your energy, etc. Having a supportive system is very important in our religion sübhanallah, but if you don't already have one, you can find sisters here on tumblr, this blog is also open for you 🤍

I would also recommend that you don't push yourself too hard, but most importantly, be kind to yourself, do not let shaytan convince you that you are not good enough and guilt-trip you. Whenever you get these ideas, do istighfar, say aāudhu billahi mina shaytan rageem and get up, do wudhu and perform one act of worship, no matter how small, even if you just send prayers upon Propher Muhammad ﷺ or read one page of the Qur'an. Last but not least, if you are the type of people who like schedules and visual tables or visual boards, you can fix a schedule of the acts of worship you can perform throughout the day/night of Ramadan, and maybe reward yourself whenever you accomplish something? That could really help.

I pray that Allah swt will grant you the sweetness of His worship and fill your heart with joy and excitement again, ameen 🤍

My sisters and I are making duaas for you.

haha ur so cute :) i'm glad i made u feel appreciated. may الله bless u.

mbti is like a rabbit hole tbh, once u get into learning all of that u won't be able to stop obsessing over it. the guy who came up with cognitive functions was a pantheist (a person who believes the universe is in some sense divine and should be revered) and most of his ideas were influenced by his belief in the occult. i saw someone asking why the 8th cognitive function is called "the demon". i was also interested in other psychological typologies and i came across even a better and deeper personality theory. months later figuring out my actual type i found out it was, too, influenced by a pantheist and it was exactly like the satanic sigil. now i'm literally questioning everything i've known all my life, because wal-lāhi shirk is more hidden than the crawling of an ant.

i do admit i feel like an intj at times and i have more similarities with them than my actual type lol. it's very tiring at the end of the day being a wise, mysterious, insightful empath (lol i'm very empathetic but i'm too introverted to show it). and constantly questioning whether or not i'm real and overthinking about everything makes me wish i was estp like gigachad.

sorry for such a long ask, just wanted to impart some ideas of mine. i'll gladly consider ur opinion on this and ponder over it.

anything for u, my precious <3

ameen and may Allah swt. bless you as well and give you the best in this life and in the next 🫂

i used to be like that with the starsigns and loved analyzing the „typical traits“ of them and much more, but once i knew that it’s also considered shirk, i left it all in the past although i did not believe in horoscopes and all that

and it’s crazy how anything that seems so small can be considered as shirk, there’s a lot. may Allah ease your overthinking and always keep you on the straight path, Allahuma ameen <;3

that’s pretty interesting and i get that a lot tbh it’s draining but i think looking deeper into things allows you to see more of the world and i think it’s worth it (yes, also the shattering aspects of being able to see more of it) also interesting bc gigachad is pretty unattractive lol 😭 and i don’t think i really have an opinion on estp‘s

dw i don’t mind long asks!! i actually enjoy getting asks so i don’t mind them being long as well :)

[tetrisfinished]

i think i'm experiencing true denial

i don't know how to explain it but my brain refuses to allow time to move forward. and with every passing moment i force my eyes to stay open so i don't accidentally let precious minutes go by while i'm sleeping.

i think this is denial.

denial that my baby is 4 years old and starting school on tuesday. denial that i've actually experienced this whole time already. denial that it's no longer april 10th, 2020 or april 10th, 2021 or april 10th, 2022....

i don't honestly understand what i'm feeling. on the one hand, my brain is consistently going on and on about how he's been in daycare since he was 1.

and on the other hand it's just....grieving i think. for the end of an era?

i don't know.

i might also be in the week right before my period where everything is big and huge and feelings are catastrophic.

but whether i am or am not - i don't think i can reasonably expect myself to be rational at this time. my baby is officially starting his journey into adulthood. he's going to be learning and developing. his days will fill with more meaning....he has to take the bus for the first time ever!

he maybe will make friends - or maybe not. maybe he'll struggle or maybe he'll fit right in. maybe he'll have some accidents.

what if learning is difficult for him? or alternatively, what if it's the easiest thing he'll ever do? what if he gets into trouble. what if there are bullies.

how do i protect him from this big pond he's going in to.

i'm a mess. i'm not prepared. i didn't do enough to prepare him.

it feels like life will lose a lot of....meaning? weight? after tuesday.

what if the transition is really rough for him? what if he hates it?

HOW WILL I DEAL WITH THIS?

urgh.

look at me centering myself in a life change that's not even my own.

please if anyone is reading this - say ameen after reading the following:

may Allah swt make this transition easy for my kid and me.

may Allah swt guide my baby to the right people and the right path.

may Allah swt give my baby ease in understanding and learning and developing.

may Allah swt protect my baby and his feelings and his health.

may Allah swt grant my baby a long and successful education.

ameen sum ameen ya Allah.

much love,

k

Losing Your Youth Amidst The Grand Scheme of Things

by Reihann N. Edres

Or does it not? I contemplated this title fifty times over before finally arriving at a conclusion and it still led me to an existential crisis. For some reason, the grand scheme of things is a loop of endless questions back and forth. Today, my quill trembles with the weight of my decision to divulge my perspective on this unending cycle: Losing Your Youth Amidst The Grand Scheme of Things.

A year ago, I joked to myself that I would lose my precious Spotify discount once I graduate because no Enrollment Billing Form could attest to my student status. And now, here we are, with reality serving me a piping hot dish of laughter! My discount has slipped away, just like my dreams of being a responsible adult.

The weight of that joke did not truly sink in until I found myself on the other side of the employment fence. Fate has dealt me a surprising hand. Not only have I earned my hard-fought degree, but I am also now a licensed nurse, serving at one of MSU-System's campuses, where I once walked the halls as a student. The pace at which these changes occurred left me breathless, struggling to keep up with the whirlwind of activity. Looking back to a year ago, I remember the palpable anxiety that gripped me, driving me to tears as I prayed that Allah (SWT) wouldn't let me end up married to a stranger or fail my board exams. The memories of those nerve-wracking moments still haunt me to this day.

I thought that was already the peak of my adulthood- a constant barrage of trials and tribulations. Like a bulldozer plowing through a mound of dirt, I was fueled by the fiery determination to redeem myself. The thought of finally ridding away those pesky acne marks, paying off debts, and splurging on all the things I couldn't afford as a poor student, propelled me towards the person I am now. Truthfully, I felt like a powerhouse, a veritable force to be reckoned with in my unwavering quest for redemption. But in hindsight, my goals seemed insignificant, almost trivial in the grand scheme of things.

Despite my newfound fulfillment, there are still some things that have remained constant like my student instincts kicking in, prompting me to brainstorm ways to snag a Spotify discount. Let us be honest, we all love good bargains. It's like a rite of passage, a testament to the resourcefulness that got me this far. So, even though my life has taken a different turn, my nature remains unchanged which most people question as if telling me to relinquish my youthful nature of sunshines and butterflies. As I contemplate this conundrum, I cannot help but wonder if perhaps this is why people age and grow wrinkled, as the weight of the world forces them to become old before their time.

The unyielding demands of life can be overwhelming, leaving one feeling drained and depleted, unable to resist the ravages of time. And should the world demand that I abandon my youthful nature, it would mean relinquishing the very things that helped me get to where I am today. It would entail giving up the simple pleasures, like worrying over a Spotify discount, or the bittersweet pain of letting go of old friends and memories, or just the mere thought of coming back home.

During high school, I had to relocate to the countryside abruptly—don’t get me wrong as it turned out to be one of my fondest memories. Throughout college, I had to live independently with family support coming only financially. My responsibilities although not apparent never afforded me the luxury of experiencing the simple pleasures of life such as observing the trees sway or the warmth of the sun on my skin. Now, at 22 years old, I find myself in a rare moment of reflection, pondering over the questions that have long eluded me: Is it still worth fretting over a mere Spotify discount? Are my worries truly trivial? Or can I really move forward when the world around me grows ever more complex and grandiose, while my nature remains unchanged?

[naaseeb]

wow stop, you are making me cry 😭 the fact that you took the time and put so much effort to write such a beautiful text to make me feel better is so incredibly precious. this really made my day! may Allah subhana wa ta’ala reward you immensely for the smile you just put on my face. may He (swt.) give you the best in this life and the next and fill your heart with nothing but happiness and peace. how beautiful YOUR heart must be, you took the time to write me this beautiful text and spread so much kindness and love. thank you so much for your wonderful words, it truly means a lot to me. may Allah swt. make me better than what you think of me and forgive me for what you don’t know about me.

again, thank you so much.

did i talk to much? did i talk too little? did i laugh too much? did i laugh too little? did i overshared too much? was i kind enough? did i listen good enough to them? did i ask the right questions? did i embarrassed myself? did i show enough interest? did i notice all hidden signs of their emotional state? did i made them feel bad? did i interrupt them? did i made them feel good about themselves? did i leave them better than i’ve found them?

My current fitness level and my dad bod. If anything, it will teach me the actual fruit of labour, the secret to success and limitless energy. The power of constant hardwork, focus and discipline cant be undermined!

Bismillah, Let’s go

[ammi-ka-shehzada]

@yah-allah so i immediately found this when i found this book fortress of the muslim. I remember something i learned a long long time ago in another book and i read the whole hadith regarding this and it just crossed my mind. So usually when we get up from Ruku’ we say Rabbana Walakalhamd. So once Prophet Muhammad Saw was leading the prayer and when he said Sami Allahu liman Hamida one of the sihabi said Rabbana wa la’kal hamdu hamdan kaseeran tayibam mubarakan feeh. So when the Prophet Muhammad SAW said salam and finished the prayer he asked who is the one that said this aloud and one of the sihabi said Ya Rasool Allah i did and Prophet Muhammad Saw said that when you said i saw two angels fighting over this act of yours. One of them was saying i will write this in my book the other was saying no i will write this in my book.

Ibn al-Jawzi رحمه الله said: "When the race horse knows that it is nearing the end of the track it exerts all of its effort to win the race. Do not allow the race horse to be more clever than you. For verily, deeds are judged by their conclusions. So if you didn't do well with welcoming Ramadan then perhaps you will do better bidding it farewell.” 1. These ten nights of Ramadan are the greatest ten nights of the entire year, and one of these nights is greater than 1000 months. Every deed you do is multiplied immensely. Take advantage and don’t waste any time, even if it means forcing yourself through phases of laziness and procrastination; you’ll have no regrets working hard in these nights, but you will have regrets if you waste them. If you didn’t do well in your first 20 days of Ramadan, you can make up for it by finishing strong. Aisha (ra) reported that the Prophet ﷺ would strive hard in worship during the last ten nights of Ramadan more than any other time.[Sahih Muslim] 2. Memorize the du’aa that you should make throughout these ten nights while seeking the Night of Decree, as was taught by the Prophet ﷺ:*Allaahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibb al-‘afwa fa’affu ‘anni *(O Allah, You are forgiving, and You love forgiveness, so forgive me). اللهم إنك عفو تحب العفو فاعف عني. 3.The exact date of Laylatul Qadr (the Night of Decree) is not known with certainty and it could fall on *any* of these night tens. Do you really want to risk losing out on the reward of 1000+ months of worship? Would you risk losing out on 1 billion dollars – or much less – in a similar situation?"Whoever stands in prayer on Laylat al-Qadr out of faith and in the hope of reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.” [Bukhari]This is the night in which the Decree is shown to the Angels as well, and it reflects one’s provisions, blessings, trials, punishments, life, and death, so strive hard to be of the people who are worshiping Allah on this night. 4. Prepare a list of du’aa and put your heart into it – these are nights of increased acceptance! One of these nights is the Night of Decree, so make du’aa for yourself, your family, and our brothers and sisters around the world. The people you pray for will benefit from your du’aa, as will you. 5. Try to nap during the day so that you can worship Allah more actively at night. Intend to sleep for His sake so that you can wake up energized for worship, and that sincere intention will bring about His blessing in your energy. If you have work or are busy with children, then at the very least find some time to pray qiyaam before sleeping or before Fajr -- to your best capacity. 6. Try not to distract yourself with social networking or socializing and focus instead on your relationship with Allah (swt) as much as possible. If possible, reduce your use of the internet and eat light and healthy meals for iftaar and suhoor. 7. Include a lot of Qur’an recitation (and translation, if applicable), dhikr (supplication & glorification of Allah), lengthy prayers, and a lot of du’aa. If you have work or classes during the daytime, keep your tongue busy with the remembrance of Allah as much as you can. Focus a lot on your spiritual state and not only crossing off a checklist of physical rituals. 8. Be patient through your other tasks, such as work, school, raising children, etc. Know that you have been given a huge blessing by being alive in this blessed month when many others have passed away. Imagine this is your last time to experience these ten nights and motivate yourself to excel as much as possible as if you’re bidding farewell to Ramadan. 9. Give charity throughout these 10 nights in order to be guaranteed that your charity falls on Laylatul Qadr – better than 1000 months of worship. 10. Motivate others – your family, friends, and community to take these ten nights seriously. Remember that the nights are very short and extremely precious; this is the most valuable time of the year which cannot be wasted. Wake up your family if possible and worship Allah (swt) together. Truly, the deprived person is the one who misses out on Laylatul Qadr and the blessings of Ramadan.May Allah bless our time and accept from us on Laylatul Qadr. O Allah, allow our good deeds to continue throughout the year as a sign of the acceptance of our deeds in Ramadan. اَمِين يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِيْنI am not sure who wrote this but I hope it helps

[niqabi-in-black]

While we get overwhelmed with job/business, studies, or other work, it’s sometimes hard for us to get ourselves involved in Dhikr (although this shouldn’t be an excuse). One of the best ways to increase good deeds by remembering Allah every day is to recite Subhanallahi Wa Bihamdihi.

These words are short and easy to say, yet the reward of reciting these words is tremendous.

Subhanallahi Wa Bihamdihi is the most loved expression by Allah. A hadith from Muslim regarding this has been mentioned below:

Abu Dharr (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me, “Shall I tell you the expression that is most loved by Allah?” It is ‘Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi’ (Allah is free from imperfection and His is the praise)’.”

[Muslim]

It hardly takes 3-4 minutes to recite 100 times. Just a few mins. of your precious time can take you closer to Allah (SWT) and your sins being forgiven, Subhan’Allah.

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Whoever says, ‘Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi,’ one hundred times a day, will be forgiven all his sins even if they were as much as the foam of the sea. [Sahih al-Bukhari 6405]

Reciting Subhanallahi Wa Bihamdihi not only erases the sins but also increases the rewards abundantly, it is a two-way benefit. We don’t really know how many sins we make each day, knowingly or unknowingly. However, this is the best opportunity to get those sins forgiven by just reciting subhanallahi wa bihamdihi!

[sisterssafespace]

I cannot stop stalking my ex fiancé online and his new girlfriend, I know this is a sin but I don’t know how to stop can you please give me some tips

:')

When I first received this ask I thought ' I am the last person that can help with this 😅 ' so I had to seek help from my sisters.

They suggested to do a social media detox for a long while until you'd stop thinking of them and to obviously unfollow (or even block) them everywhere. - Though I know from experience that it is not easy, it is not just a switch you can turn off in your brain. Also sometimes on social media (especially on Tumblr) you can block someone and still check their page. Ugh. Another recommendation was to keep busy and work out. But it is deeper than this. The decision and the commitment to stop needs to come from within. I remember having a conversation with my therapist about this same situation, because years later I couldn't stop. She said that it has become an obsession to me. And that it was more about me than about them. That it didn't mean that I still had feelings, or that they still seem special or interesting to me, it was just something my brain got sorta addicted to doing. And I had to cut that addiction. It was about me. And that actually helped me stop. I am not going to lie, it wasn't easy, I would still get the urge to type the username and check the page, but I no longer acted on my impulse.

However, I am not saying you have an obsession too, to each of us their different situation, what I am saying is : this is about you not about them. You are obviously still hurt, with a hint of jealousy. To feel hurt is acceptable and understanable, to feel jealous is not. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ warned us saying "Do not hate one another, and do not be jealous of one another".

Now, the main idea here is that by stalking them even though you yourself admitted that it is a sin - Allah swt said in surat Al Hujurat "O you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin. And do not spy or backbite each other. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when dead? You would detest it. And fear Allah ; indeed, Allah is Accepting of repentance and Merciful." {Qur'an 49:12}.

You know what's the worst part? You are only inflicting more pain upon yourself. Why would you subject yourself to this torture my dear? Do you think Allah swt would want you to suffer like this? The pain of being rejected or betrayed or left, that's something that will go away with time. One day you will wake up and it will hurt less and less, until one day it won't hurt anymore and it won't matter anymore. But the pain and the heat of jealousy, and probably envy, that you are causing yourself on purpose, that's from Shaytan. Shaytan wants you to disobey Allah swt and to hurt yourself endlessly like this. Are you gonna give in? I think you could be stronger than this. You don't deserve to put yourself through this. You are far more precious and far more valuable.

I think you have to really take a step back and evaluate the actions of this ' bad habit ' let's say. You have to ask yourself why are you doing this and what good are you getting out of it.... ?

And if you want my honest opinion, they are not even worth sinning. Nobody is.

Here's a hack: whenever you feel the urge to go see what they are up to, say AstaghfiruAllah x10 times, and send 10 salawat upon the prophet ﷺ. The thought will disappear. And if it didn't still, leave your phone, go for a walk, talk to a friend, read a page of Quran, prepare something to eat, go sit with your family, anything to distract yourself and preferably something beneficial. Allahu al mustaān my dear.

May Allah swt grant you the strength and patience to move on from this painful situation. Ameen.

Hello sister, I recently converted to Islam and I just want to say how much I appreciate your presence on tumblr. It has really helped me a lot with my journey. You are such a beautiful person and thank you so much for your posts and reminders! Also if you have any tips or recommendations in regards to memorizing the Quran and being a better muslismah I would super appreciate it! I am still trying to figure everything out 😅😅😅

😶😶.

* speechless *

Assalamualaikum sister!

First of all, Ma Shaa Allah, la quwata illa billah, Allahuma barik lakii 🥺🤍🤍🤍🌼 congrats on converting and welcome HOME sis! May the highest ranks of Jannah be written for you, ameen. 🍃

Second of all, I feel so humbled by your words I don't know what to say except for Alhamdulillah. I am just over here tumblring my way thru life, learning as I go while there are great blogs on here with amazing rich and heavy Islamic content, sübhanallah. I don't even claim the knowledge I share. I am a very emotional personal and I do see religion from a very personal and subjective perspective that probably lots of people don't agree with or at least frown upon, and I know what they'll say : You need to take knowledge from an established scholar. True. But I believe more in connecting with people, being inspired by their personal stories, and how they flawedly and humanly make their way and walk their journey thru this beautiful religion ❤️ So for you to actually say that those precious words, it actually means one thing, that Allah swt is in shaa Allah pleased with me because He swt has heard my prayers of making my journey on tumblr beneficial to me and to others, and to make me help others by the means of this blog. So, Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah.

اللهم لك الحمد حتى ترضى ولك الحمد إذا رضيت ولك الحمد بعد الرضا

Now about the last part of your ask, concerning tips to memorize the Quran, I would give you my personal favorite: write the ayat that you want to memorize on a piece of paper big enough to show them clearly and hang them on the wall in your prayer corner in your room, then start reading them in your salat frequently. You can also write them down in a small notebook and carry it around, or have the Quran app on your phone and whenever you have some free time, you are using transportation or commuting, just pull your phone and read them over and over.. and of course listening to a recitation often or on repeat helps. That way you can learn the surat or ayat with the proper pronunciation and tajweed. But also there are programs and camps for memorizing the Quran if you wanna go the more organized official way 😅 I definitely encourage you to do so. Learning with a group could be very motivating. Also, if you are the type of person who is more productive and reaches their goals better with deadlines and guidelines and teachers/ supervisors checking on them, then that's definitely what you should do.

Oh but I almost forgot the most important thing. Before any step, you should make duāa to Allah swt that He eases this journey of memorizing the Quran for you.

" اللهمّ علمني القرآن وانفعني بالقرآن وارفعني بالقرآن "

Allahuma ālemnee Al Qur'an wa 'nfaānee bil Qur'an wa 'rfaānee bil Qur'an

My lord, teach me the Quran, and benefit me with the Quran, and elevate me with the Quran"

Allahuma ameen. May Allah swt accept it from you and all of us 🤍

Oh, also, try listening to khutbahs and lectures about the stories or the explanations of the chapters that you want to memorize. It will help remember what happens in that Surah. Kheir In shaa Allah. I am extremely proud of you, Allahuma barik.

Last but not least, I have only one tip on how to be a good muslimah sis, just be yourself. Stay true to yourself and to your gut feeling and always listen to your heart. Beware of being dragged into any side unconsciously. Always take a step back to check with yourself and evaluate the situation, think critically because our religion is actually about being critical and about thinking. Also, don't force yourself. Don't compare your first pages to someone's third or fourth book. Take it one step at a time, one thing at a time so that you don't find yourself exhausted and burnt out in no time. This religion is about quality not quantity. And the most loved/ preferred deeds to Allah swt are those that are consistent no matter how small. So, consistency, patience and persistence are your best friends in shaa Allah.

Moreover, it is very important that you be patient with yourself, and that you have unlimited endless infinite husn dhan (good intentions/ positive thinking) in Allah swt. Because you are gonna mess up, sooner or later, we all do, on daily basis, sübhanallah, that's human nature, and you are gonna feel tired at some points, and you are gonna feel desperate (but that's on the devil because a good believer should never feel despair, they should believe that Allah's mercy and grace is beyond any and everything.) So yeah, back to my point, even in those times where you might feel like you messed up and that it was bad and that maybe you are not worthy of Allah's mercy and forgiveness, KNOW that it's not true, and that's only the devil tricking you. So no matter what, always find your way back to Allah swt who swt will be waiting for you with kindness, mercy, grace, generosity, and reward 🤍🤍

The prophet Muhammad salla allahu alaihi wa sallam said “All the sons of Adam are sinners, but the best of sinners are those who repent often.” Related by At·Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah , so no matter what happens and no matter how hard it gets, KNOW that Allah's doors are always open.

I feel like I gave more than the one tip I said I'd give at the beginning of this thought 😅 But I do always get carried away. I still have some super special tips but I feel like the world is not ready for them yet, so maybe some day in the near future 🙈

And my dear sister, a final word for you: we are all still trying to figure it out I promise you. Nobody is perfect. Perfection was not meant for this worldly ending life. It was saved for the hereafter. So, please don't feel intimidated by anyone, be patient with yourself, and never lose hope in Allah's capability. I pray that Allah swt eases your path and blesses every step you make towards Him. And I pray that you find the confidence you need and that you fall inn love with yourself in this religion more and more everyday, ameen 🤍

I am here if you need anything, in shaa Allah I will be able to help.

Fi amanillah (I leave you in Allah's safety) 🤍

Salaam.

Assalamalykum also how does one love someone purely for the sake of Allah? Like at the times we have to let go of someone for the sake of Allah SWT because our love for Allah is greater than that of that person but like how do you process it how do you completely let go? Like you shared the story of yours and a sister. I do know that when time is right Allah SWT will fix it and in mean time my duty is to build a very close relationship with Allah but I fall weak, any idea how to deal with this?

وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته

I don't think there is any definitive answers for this. Before I started practicing Islam, I had 3 best friends who were the most dearest people to me. We were friends since we were babies. But from the moment I decided I want to change my life for the sake of Allah, I knew I had to leave them because I wasn't strong enough at that time to change and to be in their company which constituted a whole lot of haram, at the same time. It was the hardest thing to do because they genuinely loved me. But I had to let go. It's been a little more than 10 years, and I have no regrets over my decision, but it would be a lie if I said I'm still not affected by it when they still show kindness and love towards me. For YEARS, I would dream of them and wake up crying. Letting go was always the hardest thing for me, and it's the one thing idk how to do, despite having to do it so many times.

After I started practicing Islam, the first few years were the absolute best years of my life. I met some of the most amazing people in my life, whom I deeply love and cherish till this very day. That was the moment when I realised that when you leave something for the sake of Allah, He عز وجل replaces you with something far better that will surpass your imagination. However, a few years and various trials later, I pretty much lost everyone I ever loved, in more ways than one. Was it easy? Lol. It took me five years just to accept the fact that things changed and certain people were no longer in my life. Sometimes just the utterance of their name was enough to cause a breakdown for me. For years, I never sat and thought about my life for more than 10 seconds because I couldn't handle it.

What really did help me in completely letting go of people though, was the fact when I realised they were no longer the same people I once dearly loved. I loved them for the sake of Allah, and when I saw they were no longer holding up the deen of Allah for which I admired them so much, it just... deeply disappointed me and in some extreme cases disgusted me as well. That's what made me able to let them go - their foreignness. It unsettled me. And that's when I also realised that what I truly desire and cherish are relationships which are built on imaan, people who put Allah first and would encourage me to do so. And that's why after 10 years I'm okay with not having my childhood best friends with me, and after a long time of denial I'm finally okay with not having people who were so very precious to me. Because our lifestyle and outlook don't match. Our priorities don't match. I don't like being in their company anymore. I've mourned their deaths for too long, and now I choose to set myself free of this burden. And now this emotional distance feels so liberating subhanAllah.

I'm still recovering from having to let go of certain people for the sake of Allah. At first, I hoped for a better replacement, but now honestly, as long as Allah accepts it from me and is pleased with it, that is more than enough wallahi. All the pain is worth it if it means the pleasure of our Lord. For no love in this world compares to His love.

I'm very sorry for turning this into a sob story lecture lmao, but I feel like letting go and moving on and healing are so different for every individual. One general statement that I can say though - when you leave something you love for the sake of Allah, He replaces you with something far better whether in dunya or aakhirah. The harder it is, tje greater the reward. The peace which comes with choosing Allah over others, is incomparable wallahi. And more than anything else we may gain, the biggest achievement is if Allah is pleased with us because of it. Let this knowledge ease your heart. May Allah accept our sacrifices for His sake, however big or small, ameen. And of course, make dua to Allah to make it easy for you. Without His aid, we are helpless. And reading about the lives of sahabah and the salaf eases the pain too, because it makes you realise you're not the first to go through this, and you're not alone. The Quran, needless to say, helps immensely too - when you ponder upon its meaning and message.

And Allah knows best. It was a very personal and subjective answer, because I have no idea how to cope with goodbyes and losses. I'm just too tired and frustrated to care anymore. Sigh.

Marking Last Sunday

Bismillah

Masih dalam rangka Bunga turning 25. Entahlah, tapi rasanya masih cukup magis. Terima kasih kepada segala ilmu kesehatan yang membuatku tidak mati karena diare atau dehidrasi di umur 3 atau 5 tahun. Terima kasih kepada bapak ibuk yang senantiasa mengurus putrinya ini dengan ikhlas, meski sampai di umur 25 nya dia masih belum mandiri karena satu dua dan tiga hal lainnya, huhu. Terima kasih juga kepada teman-teman Bunga, the precious among all, for the good ol and present days, for every discussion that brought me here, today. I do really treasure y’all :)

Last and foremost, to The Almighty, Allah SWT, for still believing in me that I still can manage living on His planet earth.

Ibuk pernah bilang (atau Bapak yaa), kalau kita memberi, berilah hal yang kita sukai. (Mungkin maksudnya supaya tidak hanya memberi sisa gitu kali ya). Maka, karena saya suka sekali mainan dari happy meal mcd, dan karena saya punya cita-cita pengen ulangtahun di mcd (wkwkw sepertinya akibat iri waktu kecil gapernah dibikinin??!?), jadilah kita wujudkan saja tahun ini. Tahun lalu pandemi baru awal-awal, jadi agak susah. Tahun depan sepertinya sudah agak tidak cocok :”D hahaha.

Ditaruh di sini untuk mengingat hari. Terima kasih Icak Rifqa dan Adit sudah mau membantu angkut-angkut tipis dan berjejal dengan balon-balon gemuy sebentar<3 

Dan mohon doa semoga adik-adik di rumah singgah kanker anak diberi kuat dan ketabahan, pun para orang tua yang senantiasa sabar mendampingi dan turut berjuang, semoga selalu kuat juga :”) *btw kalo ada yg mau donasi ke yayasan ini, boleh banget kontak aku! nanti kuberitahu caranya dan kontak ibu pengurusnya yg ramah dan baik hati :)

Well, happy Friday everyone! Selamat melanjutkan ibadan ramadannya, masih ada kurang lebih 20 hari tersisa :)
