"I do not write about love in a romantic sense because I do not want to tamper with an idea I pray I'm blessed to experience one day. I do not wish to speak of it's wonders in advance and hypothetically. I want to write about it with just one person in mind. Untouched, yet Mine. Mine to speak and write in regards of, rightfully. To be their only poet and they my only muse." ♡
talking to people while holding a beverage is awesome because you don't have to know what to do with your hands and when you don't know what to do with your face you can just take a sip
When I think of Sabr, I think of Yaqub عليه السلام and the qissah of Surah Yusuf. And I think its because I've always resonated with the way Allah سبحانه و تعالى shows us through his prophet that the method of observing patience, may not necessarily look the same for everyone. Yaqub عليه السلام went blind from his tears of grief, Subhan'Allah, and yet he still carried the purest form of Hope in his heart. He trusted His Lord's Plan knowing his complaints were only heard by Him alone, and even still his grief caused him to lose his own sight. As someone who has always worn their heart on their sleeve I remember feeling so heard and understood when I came across these profound verses. For the first time I felt content with the fact that, feeling things deep within my core and ultimately responding to my body's way of releasing grief, sorrow, loss, pain did not in any way translate to anything other than Sabr. I realised the truth in how our Lord's profound words have not just been preserved to be a book with stories of the past, but rather it is the sole cure to our hearts when this world feels like too much of a burden. It is and has always been our only way of navigating through this world and all it's trials and that is quite literally why our Lord Himself reminds us, "verily in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest". So for those of you who are struggling with something that no one can truly comprehend the depths of, know that you are entitled to your own way of coping that too without the pressure of someone else's definition of Sabr. And know that your Lord is All Aware of all the turmoils your heart has endured, He knows the sincere weight of each tear that falls from your eyes and ultimately it is He, who shall compensate for them just as He returned the coolness of Yaqub عليه السلام eyes.
Most of all, let this be a reminder that your tears have never fallen in vain 🌷
But when the bearer of the good news arrived, he cast the shirt over Jacob’s face, so he regained his sight. Jacob then said ˹to his children˺, “Did I not tell you that I truly know from Allah what you do not know?” [Surah Yusuf - Verse 96]

Imam Ibn al-Jawzi رحمه الله said, “A wise person must always contemplate the end results and be careful of them. He must not assume that the way things are going at any given moment will continue.
He must look into the shame that results from achieving a temporary forbidden lust and the ignorance resulting from being too lazy to seek knowledge.”

Love is not about finding the right person, but creating a right relationship in the name of Allah. It's not about how much love you have in the beginning but how much love you build till the end.🕊️
‘Umar Ibn al-Khattab رضي الله عنه said: ‘Three things make your brother’s love (wadd) for you pure: that you greet him when you see him, that you give him space in a gathering, and that you call him with his names that you love the most.’
The Refinement of Character by Imam Ibn Qudamah al-Maqdisi رحمه الله pg. 71
