ان لبدنك عليك حق

“You have a duty to your body.” This one’s a much needed reminder for myself. My mind has lately been going a million miles an hour, and my body can’t seem to keep up. I feel so tiny. My thoughts are constantly racing, while my body still needs to pause every now and then to […]

“No fear upon them, nor shall they grieve” One of the most repeated verse endings of the Qur’an, and one of my favorites too. It’s mentioned in over 10 verses, as a consequence of following the Path of God, seeking His Guidance, doing good (specifically comes in Ayahs about giving charity), and it’s just beautiful […]

Priceless Feeling

And on some days, it helps knowing that no matter how hard things can get, you can always look back up to the sky and be certain that someone up there knows exactly how you feel and will never abandon you despite how long it might have been since you’ve last called upon Him. Someone […]
