If you wonder how you'll get through this new heartbreak, just think back. Remember all you've been through in the past. And how each time you swore, you'd never get through it. But you did. And look where you're at now. This too shall pass!

The people will come and go. Sometimes they'll be there for you. Sometimes they wont. Some will love you, some will not. This tide was never meant to be still. Step away from time to time. And know that only a heart fixed on the unmoving spot can ride the waves of this ever-changing, ever-fading life.

Many years ago, our father Ibrahim (AS) made a choice. He loved his son. But He loved God more. The commandment came to sacrifice his son. But it wasn't his son that was slaughtered. It was his attachment to anything that could compete with his love for God. So let us ask ourselves in these beautiful days of sacrifice, which attachments do we need to slaughter?

At the time of death your tongue will speak only what is in the heart.To say la illaha illa Allah, you must live it.

Tell this imprisoned soul that it will never be owned. Nothing will ever own you. But God.

Be grateful for the wound that pushes you towards God.

If you study your own struggles, the struggles of others, even in movies or novels you'll see the root of all their suffering is always attachments
