“Read To Me”

I realized that if I wanted a different experience, I needed to choose differently.

For starters, I had to stop returning to the same environment or energy that presented me with the same experiences.

Al-Imām ibn Salah [may Allāh have mercy on him] said:

“Whomsoever safeguards the morning and evening supplications, the supplications after the prayers, and the supplications before sleeping will be written among those who remember Allāh abundantly.”

The Chess Players. Dir. Satyajit Ray. 1977.

Tarq-e-ta'aluqaat pe roya na tu na Mai, lekin ye kya k Chain se soya na tu na mai...

Step in as the woman you want to be. Look like the woman you want to be. Go to places that the woman you want to be would go. Attract the calibre the woman you want to be would attract. Speak like the woman you want to be. Act like the woman you want to be. BE THE WOMAN YOU WANT TO BE .

-T.Ibiro

It is reported that Masrūq – Allāh have mercy on him – said:

Everyone should have times when they sit alone, remember their sins, and thus seek [Allāh’s] forgiveness for them.
