You can’t run in more than one direction at a time. And you will only run in the direction you are facing. So if your heart is facing anything other than Allah, it isn’t Him you’re running towards.

You have trouble feeling alive, so you stab your own heart just to feel something. It was the emptiness that was killing you. You created the sadness and the fear to fill it.

Be grateful for the wound that pushes you towards God.

If you want to focus more on Allah in your prayers, focus more on Him outside your prayers.

Let your former selves teach you, but never limit or define you

Its shocking how many people believe hardships are a punishment from God! Every hardship is good for you-if it brings you closer to Him!

There are some people who could hear you speak a thousand words, and still not understand you... And there are others who will understand - without you even speaking a word.
