Maybe we would have been beautiful. Or maybe we would have been a catastrophe. But we couldn’t have been a beautiful catastrophe because they only exist in poems and we were anything but poetic.

I love you,’ he whispered, and that was the moment he knew what he was going to do. When you loved someone, you put their needs before your own. No matter how inconceivable those needs were; no matter how fucked up; no matter how much it made you feel like you were ripping yourself into pieces.

I’m not just falling in love with you. I’m falling into you. You’re an ocean, and I’m falling in, drowning in the depths of who you are. Like you said, it’s scary in a way, but it’s also the most amazing thing I’ve ever experienced. You are the most amazing thing I’ve ever experienced.

Lets talk about patience

واصبر وما صبرك إلا بالله “And be patient for your patience is but by Allah…” [an-Nahl 16:127]

واصبر لحكم ربك ” Await in patience the command of your Lord…” [at-tur 52:48].

ولا تهنوا ولا تحزنوا “So lose not heart nor despair…” [Al ‘Imran 3:139]. أولئك يؤتون أجرهم مرتين بما صبروا “These shall be granted their reward twice, because they are steadfast…” [al-Qasas 28:54].

إنما يوفى الصابرون أجرهم بغير حساب “…Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account.” [az-Zumar 39:10]. (the reward for every deed is known except patience!) وجعلنا منهم أئمة يهدون بأمرنا لما صبروا وكانوا بآياتنا يوقنون “And We made from among them leaders guiding by Our command when they were patient and [when] they were certain of Our signs. “ [as-Sajdah 32:24]. (patience is a prequisite for leadership in religion!) و اصبروا إن الله مع الصابرين “…and be patient. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.” [al-Anfal 8:46]. (patience earns the companionship of Allah)

واستعينوا بالصبر والصلاة “And seek assistance through patience and prayer…” [al-Baqarah 2:45].

والملائكة يدخلون عليهم من كل باب سلام عليكم بما صبرتم فنعم عقبى الدار “…And the angels will enter upon them from every gate, [saying],”Peace be upon you for what you patiently endured. And excellent is the final home.” [ar-Ra’d 13:23-24].

إلا الذين صبروا وعملوا الصالحات أولئك لهم مغفرة وأجر كبير “Except for those who are patient and do righteous deeds; those will have forgiveness and great reward.” [Hud 11:11]. 

ولمن صبر وغفر إن ذلك لمن عزم الأمور “And whoever is patient and forgives – indeed, that is of the matters [requiring] determination” [ash-Shura 42:43] (Allah has made patience a standard for courage and determination in ones affairs)

وكأين من نبي قاتل معه ربيون كثير فما وهنوا لما أصابهم في سبيل الله وما ضعفوا وما استكانوا والله يحب الصابرين ” And how many a prophet [fought and] with him fought many religious scholars. But they never lost assurance due to what afflicted them in the cause of Allah , nor did they weaken or submit. And Allah loves the patient.” [Al ‘Imran 3:146]. ( its a condition of his love)

وما يلقاها إلا الذين صبروا وما يلقاها إلا ذو حظ عظيم “But none is granted it except those who are patient, and none is granted it except one having a great portion [of good].” [Fussilat 41:35]. 

ألم تر أن الفلك تجري في البحر بنعمة الله ليريكم من آياته إن في ذلك لآيات لكل صبار شكور “Do you not see that ships sail through the sea by the favor of Allah that He may show you of His signs? Indeed in that are signs for everyone patient and grateful.” [Luqman 31:31]. 

ومن آياته الجوار في البحر كالأعلام إن يشأ يسكن الريح فيظللن رواكد على ظهره إن في ذلك لآيات لكل صبار شكور ” And of His signs are the ships in the sea, like mountains. If He willed, He could still the wind, and they would remain motionless on its surface. Indeed in that are signs for everyone patient and grateful” [ash-Shura 42:32-33].

Dua for the Eighteenth Day of Ramadhan

اَللّـهُمَّ نَبِّهْني فيهِ لِبَرَكاتِ اَسْحارِهِ
وَنَوِّرْ فيهِ قَلْبي بِضياءِ اَنْوارِهِ
وَخُذْ بِكُلِّ اَعْضائي اِلَى اتِّباعِ آثارِهِ
بِنُورِكَ يا مُنَوِّرَ قُلُوبِ الْعارِفينَ

O Allah, on this day, awaken me with the blessings of its early mornings, Illuminate my heart with the brightness of its rays, let every part of my body follow its effects, by Your light, O the illuminator of the hearts of those who know.

I went to three funerals today The first one of a boy who was only six months. He was born, but died before he could live. The second of a girl who had lived for two decades but was only beginning to understand the meaning of life. One afternoon of swimming ended her. The water began to swallow her screams and soon after swallowed her. The third of a man whose hair was beginning to grey; who sighed more than he smiled. He was diagnosed with Cancer. Scientist said that 4 out of 5 people die from this sickness; They promised him that he was the fifth. But they couldn’t keep their word. I have been staring at the ceiling for the past five hours trying to make sense of the people that are gone. It’s funny isn’t it, how we’re so attached to a life that promises us death as soon as we are born. Time is limited, but we don’t know by how much. Death can arrive when you’re 12 months old or when you’re 12 years old. Death is not limited to age. Then how can we put off practicing Islam to when were “older”? If you can die today, aren’t you already old?

To myself and those who intend to practice Islam when they’re"older"
