Recently I have realised that trust is complicated, yet at times one might think they have complete trust in an individual but time proves them to be wrong. The reason is that there always is more than what meets the eye. In my entire lifetime I have met many people, however, during some stage I am pulled away from such people. There is a force pulling me away from what Allah (swt) dislikes for me, to the naked eye I appear as a vile, cold, heartless person, yet inside I feel a sense of satisfaction in my loneliness.
The point that I am trying to make is that as much as I would like to be there for people I just can’t because something pulls me back from making mistakes. To be frank I do not care much for the judgements of others over the type of person I may be, all that I am certain of is Allah (swt) knows everything and sees everything.
وَمَن يَتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ يَجۡعَل لَّهُ ۥ مَخۡرَجً۬ا…
…And whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out [of every difficulty]
(Qur’an 65: 2)
As the above verse, from the Holy Qur’an, suggests our duty is towards Allah (swt). Therefore, it is essential that everything we do and strive for in our lives is in pleasing Allah (swt) as well as fulfilling our duties towards the creator of the universe. Life is not as dandy as that indicated through words.
“This is true happiness, the happiness of faith, and no one can feel this happiness except the one whose mind, heart and soul are filled with the love of Allah. The one who truly has control over happiness is the One True God, so seek happiness from Him by worshipping and obeying Him” -Dr Ai’th Al Qarni
My joy –
My Hunger –
My Shelter –
My Friend –
My Food for the journey –
My journey’s End –
You are my breath,
My hope,
My companion,
My craving,
My abundant wealth.
Without You — my Life, my Love –
I would never have wandered across these endless countries.
You have poured out so much grace for me,
Done me so many favors, given me so many gifts –
I look everywhere for Your love –
Then suddenly I am filled with it.
O Captain of my Heart
Radiant Eye of Yearning in my breast,
I will never be free from You
As long as I live.
Be satisfied with me, Love,
And I am satisfied.
-Rabia of Basra
May the peace and blessings of Allah (swt) be upon us.
