"This woman who sees without being seen frustrates the colonizer. There is no reciprocity. She does not yield herself, does not give herself, does not offer herself."
— Frantz Fanon
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
When you open your palms and say “ya Rab”, are you aware of who you’ve just addressed? Do you realise that there is no plea you could follow that up with which would be greater than Him? No want, no need. Nothing. He dwarfs them all. Dua is your door to that might and mercy.
The Prophet ﷺ said,
“When death was approaching the Prophet Nuh عليه السلام, he said to his son,
‘I will narrate to you my bequest; I command you with two things and prohibit you from two things.
I command you with La ilaha illAllah (‘There is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah),
if the seven heavens and the seven earths were placed upon a scale and La ilaha illAllah was placed on the other, then La ilaha illAllah would be heavier.
If the seven heavens and the seven earths were a closed off circle then La ilaha illAllah would be able to break it.
The second thing I command you with is Subhana Allaahi wa bihamdihi because it is a supplication for everything, and by it the creation is given its provision, and I prohibit you from shirk and pride.’”
[Al Silsila As Sahiha, 3130]
It is reported that Masrūq – Allāh have mercy on him – said:
Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal, Al-Zuhd article 2038.
Constantly reading the Quran and pondering on the words of Allah would give your heart the peace it needs, because it's a message from Allah to you.
Read the Quran as much as you can, day and night, get closer to Allah.

“And tire yourself out, because it makes life worth living! I have seen that water stagnates when it stands still, yet when it runs it is sweet and pure.”
