I want to travel the world alone with my solitude, my companion
I will miss these kind of moments when it comes to an end.. 4am studying vibes never come to an end for me. I’ve found much solace in these hours with Allah over the years.
Ya Allah, extend these days and do not let them end for me. I can’t explain how sad I get when I think about my studies coming to an end. May the light of knowledge stay with me for as long as I live.
“Do not let your past (carelessness) make you lose hope of achieving good, for many people have come back to wakefulness after long sleep.”
— Imām Ibn al-Jawzī | Awaking from the Sleep of Heedlessness, p.58
Knowledge is light. Once internalised, we have a duty to shine it upon others.
Sappho - Translation from Anne Carson’s “If not, Winter”
May your imaan never leave you, may you always tread on the straight path with righteousness. May you be saved from the torment of the grave & from the punishment of the fire, may you be of the blessed residents of al-Firdaws, ameen ya rabb-il-'alameen.
الحياة سَتمضي قبل أن نَستوعب مَا يَمُر بِنا
Life will pass before we realize what is happening to us.
- Naguib Mahfouz
