Sometimes you can’t find a shoulder to cry on. But you always have the ground to put your head down and shed your tears to Allah.
Kedi (2016)
sometimes you have to stop for a moment and realise that this world isn’t your home. i often find myself overwhelmed with negative thoughts and feelings forgetting that this is all temporary. everything around me, around us, is temporary. this sense of longing and loneliness can only be fulfilled in jannah.
I find going on tumblr so calming. unlike all other social media, the people I follow aren’t constantly talking about politics and coronavirus, it’s mostly pretty pictures and poetry and quotes and sometimes you really need that escape from reality
friends that understand your anti-social phases and don’t take it personally are important.

“You have a lot in common with the moon; its light and its beauty, and its distance from me فيك من القمر؛ نوره وجماله،و بعده عني”

"The Prophet ﷺ was generous with people in such a way that he was not afraid of faqr (poverty). He used to tell Bilal, “Spend. Don’t be afraid of poverty. This is what Allah has told me."
Shaykh Mahy Cisse
I choose to “ play stupid ” but trust me I know everything you think I don’t.
have you ever read something that killed you inside? like a text message or someone’s status. everything was going fine until you accidentally came across something you didn’t want to read. or you found out something you were better off not knowing. it’s almost as if it was posted just to purposely hurt you. but you constantly read it over and over again to torture yourself.
I regret every time I let someone know me too much.
“I have never regretted my silence. As for my speech, i have regretted it over and over again.”
— Umar Ibn al-Khattâb [رضي الله عنه]
Me: *looks at the moon literally anytime, anywhere at any phase*
“Oh look guys the moons pretty tonight-“
do you ever pretend like you didn’t see something so the other person doesn’t feel embarrassed
“Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.”

„And in the end, all I learned was how to be strong alone.“
When Khaled Hosseini wrote “a man's heart is a wretched, wretched thing. It isn't like a mother's womb. It won't bleed. It won't stretch to make room for you.” I had to stop, put the book down and breathe because never had a sentence knocked the breath out of me like that did.
In a world that’s obsessed with physical beauty, always ask the Almighty to beautify and uplift our soul through consistent acts of worship and prayer. Remember, time will rob you of your outer beauty, no matter how hard you try to preserve it but a beautiful soul remains!
“Do I really want to share this information about my personal life with this person or am I just craving validation regarding my perspective/stance on it?” is a beautiful question and I’ve been less of a chatterbox ever since I started asking it
There comes a point in life where you just want better for yourself. A better life, better people, better energies, better routine, better faith, better health, better mental progression.
“Don’t let anyone see you except that you are happy. Let them always see your smile and if things get difficult, the Qur'ān is your paradise.. If loneliness starts to hurt, send your supplications through the heavens. When people ask you how you are, praise Allah and smile.”
— Sheikh Abu Ishaq al-Huwayni (via amxva)
