Peace unto you fam. I saw a post on social media recently. It says something about… She is working on two things, herself and her progress. I felt I should be doing that and only that too. So I started thinking on ways to better myself and to develop personally. Along the way I fell in love completely and absolutely. It is not like the love for my babies A and Y, or my best friends or my husband (God I love that being) or even Umma (May she always be happy). It’s sudden yet definite. It is something that has always been with me yet not really because, well, I never really gave it much thought.
It is my ISLAM. It’s the religion. As a person out to work
on myself I did a little research and found that absolutely nothing has a
positive impact towards your growth than the religion. As a muslim I already
know it’s a complete guide, because I was told so. Well it was right! It is a
guide that covers all the motivational books, talks, lectures and everything on
self-help or development that you have ever come across and much much more. And the more you find out the more you fall hopelessly deeper. It
is my new love. And I love this honeymoon phase hence me sharing with you.
As much as I want, I might not always feel exactly this
level of excitement for it. You know what I will hold on to keep floating and
trying? The fact that my Allah, He loves me more than my mother and definitely
more than my husband. If the feeling of love for my religion gets low, I will
hang on to the knowledge that He loves me. Even when I did not know how much,
now that I have an idea how much I know He is there, through it all and even
after it is over. I know there is nothing like a missed chance or opportunity
or bad luck. Everything is planned and every plan is in my favor (it might not
look so from my point of view) but the One that plans is the One that loves me
and I love my Allah too.
I pray you all find this love, cherish this love and keep
this love for in reality it is the only true love that would not end up in a
heart break. Wishing you peace and His mercy and blessings.
PS: what do you think about my new found love? Have you
found it too? Is it a keeper? How much more should I work towards strengthening
it? Any advice? Let’s talk down below.
Masha Allah So glad for u finding this love of urs,may Almighty Allah make it as easy as possible as the Holly month is approaching.
ReplyDeleteexactly ramadan is so close. thank you for sharing my joy.
DeleteMashaAllah
ReplyDeleteMasha Allah indeed you have the best love on earth, May Allah grant us what's good and best for us. Allahumma Ameen.
ReplyDeleteTrue, amen ya Hayyu ya Qayyum.
DeleteI recently saw a post about how women lose time for ibadah once married and have kids but for me personally it wasn’t like that. I might have had more time before but over the years i have gained a closeness to Allah that wasn’t there before, I don’t know if having a family has anything to do with it, i am just so eternally grateful that I don’t question it. The greatest joy and blessing i have in my life is my Rabb, his patience with me, his mercy and his love sustain me. It makes my knees weak how fortunate i am that Allah has giving me the opportunity to come back to him. May we always turn back to him.
ReplyDeleteSomething we need to talk more as a community is how much we take being born muslim for granted. I believe being a muslim means always turning to Allah, everyone has his or her own pace. Some are running, some are walking, some are evening crawling, and at different times of your life your pace might change, the key is to not stop and not to judge other people’s journeys.
I love your new love, i pray that our love helps us meet and me neighbors in Jannah.
You just inspired and motivated me
ReplyDeleteIm so glad I did. Unapologetically my intention ❤️
DeleteIndeed it is a love that will never end in heartbreak , so it’s definitely the greatest love anyone can find. May we all hold on to that love till the end of our lives 💜

DeleteThis is really motivating. I’m so happy for you on your soul searching journey and I hope we all find our love too and stay true to it because like you said, it’s the purest love with no heart break and definitely no regrets. May Allah (SWT) help us re-embrace Islam
ReplyDeleteAllahumma amen my darling. Amen ya Rabbi.
