i feel like one of the biggest struggles of adulthood is finding that balance between submitting completely to divine decree while also mobilizing your faith to stay empowered. the balance between doing what's within your control and making peace with what's not. the balance between trying your very best but also entrusting the outcome to Allah.

and none of this is easy. these are hard lessons to learn at every stage of adult life, with every heartbreak and disappointment, with every news that turns out different from what you were expecting, with global and personal tragedies filling your heart with grief every single day.

the truth is: everything in life is designed to push you closer to Allah and to being the truest, most authentic version of yourself.

this is the lesson behind the pain.

Have We not uplifted your heart for you, relieved you of the burden which weighed so heavily on your back, and elevated your renown for you? So, surely with hardship comes ease. Surely with hardship comes ease.

-Surah Ash-Sharh | 94:1-6.

Salmān Al-Farisi (raḍiy Allāhu ʿanhu) in a few concise yet powerful words, says:

“Every person has an inner hidden affair and an outer public affair.

Whoever rectifies their inner affairs, Allāh will rectify their outer affairs.

And whosoever corrupts their inner affairs, Allāh will corrupt their out affairs.”

My biggest fear is being buried six feet deep when I’m nowhere near being the Muslim I want to become. May Allah shower his mercy upon us, and grant us light in the grave.

“Say: O Allah, You are pardoning. You love to forgive, so forgive me.”

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ تَحَرَّوْا لَيْلَةَ القَدْرِ فِي الوِتْرِ مِنَ العَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ
