Tawwakul is not an act of the limbs-it is an act of the heart. And so while the limbs are striving hard, the heart is completely reliant on Allah. This means whatever the outcome of the limbs' striving, the heart will be completely satisfied, knowing that it is the flawless decision of Allah. But in order to reach this level, one must hold on to hope, strive with the limbs, and let go with the heart.

They say you don't get over someone until you find someone or something better. As humans, we don't deal well with emptiness. Any empty space must be filled. Immediately. The pain of emptiness is too strong. It compels the victim to fill that place. A single moment with that empty spot causes excruciating pain. That's why we run from distraction to distraction and from attachment to attachment.

Don't get attached to moments. Good or bad, they all pass.

Holding on to hope when everything is dark, is the greatest test of faith

My Nafs screams out for what it desires. But my will to be free screams louder.

Being both soft and strong is a combination very few have mastered.

Worry is a direct consequence of relying on your own efforts.
