All my posts in this page are a reminders to myself and to you sisters and brothers fiddeen.

May Allah make us among the the people of Jannah,ameen🤲

Sometimes, in our life, we tend to get overwhelmed by the number of things we need (and want) to fulfill every single day. Our To-Do list gets almost filled up to its corners, and some days, all we wanna do is throw that list away because of the pressure it throws upon us. Pressure of having to mark all of them out as soon as possible.

We need to learn and study, memorize, read books, watch lectures, serve the people around us, do chores, do something we love, and the list goes on.

All of these are great things and we do find great joy in doing them. We love doing them! But it is not to deny that there are really those days when we just can't seem to enjoy them, and instead, their great number pressures us to the core and suddenly, things become harder to do. I just wanna remind you, dear striving soul, that it is okay.

It's okay to not be able to do them all that day.

It's okay if you're feeling too tired to not be able to tick all of them off, or if you just simply don't feel like doing them today.

That is okay.

You are NOT a failure. It's just that you are a human and things happen to you. Things happen, especially inside you. If you feel like you need more rest time for now, more time in contemplation and reflection, more time in gathering your heart together, do it. Go grab that time you need and don't feel guilty about it.

Remember that you cannot fulfill your duties beautifully as a Muslim if you're feeling scattered inside.

So take that time to redirect your heart, refocus your vision, and adjust your intentions back to Allah. Carefully study yourself, for it may be that your uneasy heart right now is an indication that something is off. So reflect. Stay still. As long as you need to. And may you remember what Allah told us in the Qur'an:

"Allah intends for you ease, and does not intend for you hardship." [2:185]

And lastly, remember that you don't have to do all of them in just one day. If you think it will be better for your mental, physical, and spiritual well being to do some of them the next day, then do them the next day. Just be careful in approaching the "Laziness" level. If you can't read 10 pages of Qur'an for now, then do atleast 1 or 2.

Stay anchored in the Deen no matter what.

And may I remind myself and you with the hadith of Rasoolullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wa Sallam where he said:

“Take on only as much as you can do of good deeds, for the best of deeds is that which is done consistently, even if it is little.”[Sunan Ibn Majah 4240]

Not everything you think is right. How you perceive something is not always how everyone perceives that thing as well. And perception from people don't always align with the truth. When someone walked away in the middle of an argument, doesn't mean he lost. It could be that he wanted to save himself and that other person from a calamity.

Always be compassionate and always strive to think good about people.

Just a reminder.

When things get tough and make us feel not much okay, there will always be those little things that may not heal us completely, but will still help us, in some way, get through the difficulty.

Little things that we neglect most of the time, but are given purposefully to us by the most Loving and the Ever-Merciful.

For some, it might be the view of the birds flying freely in the wide, blue sky...

or the morning sun...

or the taste of afternoon coffees...

or the comforting presence of someone.

Whatever it is, it sparks something in our hearts and gives us hope. Sometimes, the feeling of joy it gives fleet so fast, but no matter how temporary it is, it still does makes things much better. It makes us 'feel' much better.

If you get in those situations where your heart beats with hope again, or if you are currently in it, I pray that you get conscious with it and link that beautiful blessing to Allah, the One who made everything, the One who allows you to be in those situations, and allows them to touch your heart. Amīn.

Wear your Akhirah-view glasses for always. Let your eyes see everything with a heart that is conscious of her Lord, and that is conscious of what lies after her death. Let be the reflection of light remind you of the favors of your Lord for you, and let it guide your tongue in uttering gratitude for it. Let the beauty and the depth of the view up above during the night remind you of what you may be ending up with the moment your soul departs from this withering world.

Those sparkling drops of water on shiny leaves,
those light blows of cold winds,
the relaxing sound of papers being crampled,
those radiant flowers that have just bloomed,
and those heavy rainfalls.

Let them remind you of the infinite Generosity of Al-Kareem, of the unconditional, perfect Love of Al-Wadood, of the forgiveness of Al-Ghafar, and of the All-Encompassing Mercy of Ar-Rahman wa Ar-Raheem.

May Allah soften all of our hearts. Amīn.

[Please read aloud]

I feel so drained,
so stressed,
so sad.
I feel like I am a big failure.
I feel like each time I intend to do something good, I end up doing the opposite.
It's no use.
I'm such a big mess.

Yet I know, Allah, You are there.
You are always looking after me. Alhamdulillah.
You are always blessing me with good things, even if I am at times being ungrateful and oblivious. Alhamdulillah.
You never failed making me see an Āyat whenever I needed one. Alhamdulillah.
You still allow and give me the ability to do all of these good stuff, even if it's as little as smiling. Alhamdulillah.
Even if I have failed so many times and have done so many mistakes, You still allow me to raise my hand and Praise You and ask of You. Alhamdulillahi Rabbi Al-'Ālamin.

[Now, imagine everything that you went through. All the hardships, the cries, the severe sadness, anxieties that you had to deal with in the past. And then feel your breathe coming in and out of your chest. You are alive. You've done it, with the Grace of Allah. You were able to go and grow through them. Wouldn't you praise and thank Allah for allowing you to pass through all of thoses challenges? Indeed, Allah is All-Wise. You know not of which is good and not for you, but He knows very well about it. Trust Him and be patient, oh dear slave of Allah.]

You are imperfect. But you have a Merciful, Loving, Forgiving, Perfect God.

No matter how far you may feel you are from where you want to be in, do not stop striving to get there. The waves on the way may look so huge and scary, the sky may look gloomy, and it may seem that there is no way you can still go through them, still do not lose hope. You may feel stuck right now, but remember that you have the ultimate capability to get yourself out of there. Do not let your fear for those seemingly tough and unending challenges in the way stop you from giving your heart and soul which they crave and need—closeness to Allah SWT. Do not be deceived. I tell you, you need to let go already. You need to free yourself from that place where all you ever felt was restlessness. Dear, you had lived enough of your life in there. It's time to go out. Everyone have their own way of getting out, you choose whichever is easier for you. And remember that "Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear."-(2:286)

[a part of a reflection entry on journal]
Written on February 12, 2022
..

I found a gem this morning.

"Forgive your parents for not being able to love you the way you needed. Then forgive yourself for looking for love in all wrong places. It's level to healing."

-حياتي

-Forgive your parents for not being able to love you THE WAY YOU NEEDED. -

(general reflection. not only in the context of parents)

Sometimes, we feel certain emotions when people around us do not or are not able to do the things we hope them to do. We feel frustrated, sad, and at times, we even feel that we are not anymore important to those people, just because they were not able to meet our needs and the standards we have set for them (unconsciously) or our expectations. I realize that this attitude is totally unfair.

We all have our own ways of showing our love and care to people. We do not know how the other person may show his/her, so the moment we tell them that we feel like their EFFORTS are not enough to make us feel loved, they will think that they lack something. That she/he is not enough. That there's something wrong with him/her. It will affect his/her sense of self-worth and confidence. It is that dangerous!

On those times when we feel that what they are showing do not align with what we need, when they are not loving us the way our hearts need, we must not immediately do something that would shake the way they see themselves. "Appreciation goes a long way."
..

And remember that Allah would reward you if you keep patient.

We all get to that point when we just don't want to do anything. We refuse and avoid doing even those things that were actually already part of our everyday routine. We often catch our bodies literally make a pause in the midst of or when attempting to do an activity and our eyes just suddenly stare at nowhere.

It's confusing. But deep inside we know...

It's not really those activities that we are trying to avoid doing, but it's the pain that we 'think' that may come with those activities that we constantly try to get away from.

It's confusing and frustrating and painful.

But tell to the fearful, worried soul, there is Allah. Always.

"Patience"

To be patient is easy to say but it is hard to do. Most of the time when we are angry, we cannot control our temper. We cannot control the tears and the foul words when we become upset. I don't exclude myself from such. But being Muslims, we should know better as we claim to believe in qadr. Everything that happens are all by Allah's will. If one of our parents or relatives have died, we should be patient. All of us will die someday. Their time had just arrived earlier than ours. Yes, to lose someone is very difficult, but let us constantly remind ourselves that there is nothing permanent in this world. All things change. People come and go. Possessions come and go. But all these happen for a reason. It might be incomprehensible for us at the moment but Allah knows best. The reason will unfold someday. And it will always be breath-taking.

Contrary to the usual reaction we know, we Muslims should not blame Him for getting our parents or any beloved someone from us. What should be done is to have Sabr. Be Patient.

Be Patient, ukhtiy wa akhiy. All problems have solutions. Just pray. Make dua'a. Allah is the Most Merciful. He will never be tired of feeding and sustaining us. Don't be discouraged if you fail in your dreams. But instead, be patient. Remember again that all things happen for a reason. It's Allah's will. And all His wills are always better than ours.

For those who are struggling to keep up with their acts of ibadah, read what Allah has said in the Qur'an...

"...so worship Him (Alone) and be constant and patient in His worship."

Maryam | Qur'ān Chapter 19

Subhan'Allah. Allah didn't say that worshipping Him would be easy. He didn't say doing the 5 daily obligatory Salah would be just a piece of cake, nor is the fasting in Ramadhan, neither is the controlling of anger, etc. but He said "be constant and patient".

Is there anyone else who knows us better than the One Who created us Himself? Subhan'Allah.

He knows that we are weak in nature. He knows that we will going to fall short. He knows.

And He never expected for us to be perfect!!

And know that doing acts of Ibadah will never be easy. It requires patience indeed. But what's important is you stay consistent. Do not give up on your Salah, on your fasting, on your dhikr, etc. Even on smiling at that person who's been not so kind to you. And know that Allah Sees your efforts, even the most little one, and He will, Insha'Allah, reward you for them.
