Sometimes we illogically walk straight into things we know would bring along an immense amount of pain if they don’t turn out to be what we hope they are, because the possibility of witnessing a lost chance that might have worked out if only we had given it our all, can hurt a million times […]

If only there was a way we could let those people we think about yet can’t exactly reach out to, know how much space they still occupy inside our heads and hearts everyday.

Whenever I come across something we’re encouraged to do as part of getting closer to God, or getting rewarded in the hereafter, there’s always a part inside me that wonders; is that really all? I mean, we pray 12 rakahs of sunnah a day, then get a house in Jannah just for that? We say […]

When you don’t know, seek to learn more. When you don’t understand, ask the right questions to those who can explain.

It’s there, it literally happens everyday, yet we still like to believe life isn’t so short and everyone around is totally meant to stay. I used to think I was getting immune to […]

I blocked someone on the internet today. I hardly ever block people based on things they post or say. Whenever there’s some kind of social media outrage, my thoughts usually experience some kind of delay, as I try to process what’s happening with the world then eventually figure how to find my way.
