Sappho - Translation from Anne Carson’s “If not, Winter”
As soon as you realise that everything, truly, is controlled by Allah you will be happier.
You need to internalise it. Every little thing is controlled by Allah so if something goes wrong, something will go right-
and if you’re sad today, tomorrow you will be happier
I don't know who needs to hear this out but; please, please don't give up on your deen. It doesn't matter how many sins you have done or for how long, just come back. Start again, try again, pray again, cry, yearn, JUST DON'T GIVE UP.

If it weren't for Islam, I would have lost my sanity long back. Islam keeps me afloat.
تمادينا بالتفكير ونسينا بأن الأقدار مكتوبة
We went too far in thinking and forgot that destinies are written.
- Mahmoud Darwish
Muadh Ibn Jabal رضي الله عنه said:
“The Son of Ādam does nothing to rescue himself from the punishment of Allah better than the remembrance of Allah.”
[Al-Muwatta, 490]
