Ibn Uthaymin رحمه الله said:
“The test intensifies
when the relief is close.”
[Sharh al-Mukhtasar ‘Alaa Buloogh al-Mar’aam, 376]
who are you when you are not watching tv or movies? when you aren't playing video games or reading a book or fanfiction or listening to music or whatever other kind of media that you engage with? who are you when your mind isn't in another world or story, when you are forced to sit with yourself and the only experience you have is your own sensorial life? can you define yourself outside of what you consume? who is that person? do you like them? can you bear it? can you bear it?
