The poison leaves bit by bit, not all at once. Be patient. You are healing.

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

Keep praying, even if you have only a whisper left.

This life will never be without storms. Stop fearing the storm. Build your inner shelter.

Don't let this Ramadan be just a holiday of rituals. Don't finish reading the Quran without it transforming you. Don't feed your body at suhoor, but starve your heart of Qiyam. Don't reduce this downpour of mercy to just a month of sweets and lavish iftars. Seek Him, you will find. Take a sincere step towards change, transformation, redemption. If you do, you will find Him in front of you. Find Him this month. He's been there all along. Closer than your jugular vein. Look and you'll find. Walk and you'll arrive.

When your failures surround you, and all the open doors have closed, look up. There’s a door that never closes, a way, when all the other ways have failed you.

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