To know yourself is to
Know
You
To know all of you and leave space for the time you’ll know more of you.
To know that time is with you, for you.
Rain, air. Cry and exhale.
Remain grounded, with humility - gratitude.
With the despair, the rain, feel the air.
Cry and exhale
الحمدلله.
Alice Miller, The Drama of the Gifted Child: The Search for the True Self
To sit in a field of all our responsibilities and opportunities, glance over and feel overwhelmed with existence;
To breathe, to exhale, to feel and to release.
Maybe on Mondays it’s hard, and by Wednesday it only gets harder. Maybe on Friday you break apart and run. You run and run and run -
You come and you sit in a field of it all; life is a lot. Life is overwhelming, with responsibilities and opportunities.
& as you glance, you release and remember Allāh. Far & near, He is always close.
Surely in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find comfort [al-Quraan 13:28]
Remember Allāh, you will find comfort in Him.
Ramadan Mubarak
Fear Allah wherever you are. Have hope in Allah at all times. Love Allah, always.
May Allah accept our good intentions, our good faith efforts, and our good actions. May Allah forgive us of our wrongdoing, be it small and medium and big. May Allah keep our hearts soft for Him, may He soften our hearts for Him, may He break our hearts from the Dunyah and have fear in Him; hope in Him, and love for Him.
Ameen.
We are the very people, (you are the very person) Allāh made you to be for you.
Keep remembering that.
You will keep growing and continuing to protect yourself- through and through. Because you were made for you.
Remember that.
When we weep and finally unravel into an ocean, shallow and transparent - deep and clear, and see our reflection, who are we?
