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?

Embrace life and all that God gives you-but never let it contain you. This world is too small to contain you.

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

Loss; is the returning of what never actually belonged to us in the first place.

The fastest way to heal a broken heart is to find someone better to love, and love more. Know that sometimes heartbreak happens just to push you to God.

I loved. I lost. So I learned to love what is never lost. Then even what I loved that can be lost was through what cannot be lost...so it was never lost.

Never curse a fall. The ground is where humility lives.
