(Never could we have found guidance, had it not been for the guidance of Allah.” (Surah Al-A’raf: 43″ Sometimes I feel like the reason I go through spiritual lows is just so I can remember exactly this. There’s truly nothing like being connected to Him, and yet it’s so easy to slip. It’s so easy, […]

I so much love this duaa. Asking God to allow me to love Him. To have His love fill my insides, so I can really worship Him. Out of love. Never out of fear, or obligation. Just love. So much of it. For and towards Him. Because only His love can fill my heart with […]

قَالَ قَدْ أُوتِيتَ سُؤْلَكَ يَا مُوسَىٰ (سورة طه: 36) (Allah) said, you have been granted your request, O Moses. (Surah Taha: 36) One of the most heartwarming verses of the Qur’an.

It might not be so much of an answer to your prayer, as much as it can be His way of letting you know He’s heard you, and that He can make your wish come true. For things only ever work out when He wants them to, and He’ll only want that, exactly when it’s […]

Every time I come across this part of Surah Al Kahf, where Al-Khidr has to remind Moses three times that he asked him to stay patient and not ask questions while he follows him until he himself explains it all, a part of me wonders what was really so hard about watching in silence? I […]

A few days ago, I was listening to a tafseer on Maryam (AS)’s story (she’s my favorite and I never get enough of hearing about her -in case you haven’t noticed). There was this part about how it was evident God wanted her to go back to her community after giving birth, despite how much […]

I say I love You But then I turn back to sleep once my alarm‘s on for Fajr I say I need You But then I forget to start my day with even a slight bit of حمد I say I trust You But then I keep questioning my every unfortunate event I almost turn […]

Duaa works in so many beautiful ways. You can pray for money, and out of nowhere, get exactly that. But then you can also pray for money, and instead get saved from a disease that would have cost you a fortune to overcome – while you know nothing about it. You can pray for money, […]
