When Allah Says "Not This", It's Still Love

There was a time when every night ended in tears, every silence became overthinking, every uncertainty felt frightening, and every unanswered question weighed heavily on my heart. I mistook delays for disappointments, closed doors for loss, and broken expectations for abandonment. But now I see what I could not see then. Allah was not depriving me, He was protecting me. Every path that never opened, every mixed signal that disturbed my heart, every plan that fell apart, and every feeling that never settled... they were all acts of His mercy.  Even the things I forced myself to hold onto, hoping they would work out, were gently taken away before they could leave deeper wounds. He saved me from burdens I was too blind to recognise and from trials that could have shattered my heart even further. SubhanAllah, what I once called heartbreak was, in reality, divine protection. What I thought was going wrong was Allah arranging everything in the most beautiful way. He removed what would ha...

The year of letting go...2̶0̶2̶2̶. 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯✨️

The year of letting go, of understanding loss, grace of the word 'no' and also being able to say 'you are not kind'. The year of humanity/humility, when the whole world couldn't get out of bed. Everyone I've met this year, says the same thing 'you are so easy to be around', how do you do that?' the year I broke open and dug out all the rot with own hands. The year I learnt small talk and how to smile at strangers, the year I understood that I am my best when I reach out, the year of sugar, everywhere softness, sweetness. honey. 
The year of being alone, and learning how much I like it, the year of hugging people I don't know, because I want to know them, the year I made peace and love, right here.

I hope you learn to prioritize the people who
bring you peace. The people who mirror the
same length of love as you give others. The
people who stand by your side - not in every
moment but rather in the moments that matter
the most. The people who matter the most. The
people who have the capacity to understand
the very depths of your soul. I hope you learn to prioritize the people who choose you..

Never regret the kindness you showed somebody who didn't deserve it. They did you wrong, you did them right and for that, you should be proud.

Never allow anyone or anything to alter your self-worth. Never allow any insult to bother you or shake you. Never allow any frustration or humiliation or attack to change how you value yourself.

•Kindness, kindness, kindness. I want to make a New year's prayer, not a resolution. I'm praying for courage.

For when you trust His perfect decree...

-
Leave behind what’s meant to fade, Trust the plans Allah has already made. For every tear that stained your night, He’s written ease, He’s written light. Don’t chain your heart to what is gone, Your Lord has better to pass upon. In every loss, a mercy lies, In every fall, your soul can rise. What’s written left was never yours, What’s coming next holds open doors. Have sabr today, let your قلب believe, For what’s ahead will never deceive. The past is gone, don’t let it stay, It steals your peace, it clouds your way. Turn to your Rabb with hope so true, What’s yet to come is خير for you. You lost something? Then let it be, Your Lord replaces beautifully. For every ache your heart once knew, A better plan is made for you. Let go, move on, don’t look behind, True peace is in a trusting mind. For when you trust His perfect decree, Your future blooms in serenity.🌙

For what is coming toward you is softer...

-
What slipped away was only a chapter, not the story meant for you. For every goodbye you held in tears, a better hello is already on its way. Do not grieve what faded into yesterday, for tomorrow carries gentler light. What’s written ahead of you is kinder than what stayed behind. The past may echo with what you lost, but the future whispers with what you’ll gain. And in those quiet whispers, there is a promise of something better. Every ending you cried over was mercy you didn’t yet understand. For what is coming toward you is softer, sweeter, and meant to stay. You didn’t lose it, you were being led somewhere better. Because what’s written for you ahead outshines everything left behind.

You deserve someone who doesn't just keep you...

Being kept around and being fully chosen are two very different things.  One feels like waiting in the background of someone’s life, the other feels like being the reason they show up. Being kept is convenience , answered when it’s easy, remembered when it’s lonely. But being chosen is intention, consistent, certain, and proud. You won’t have to question where you stand, when someone truly chooses you. There is no confusion in genuine care. So don’t settle for almost, for sometimes, for “when it suits them.” You deserve someone who doesn’t just keep you, but claims you with clarity, with effort, with their whole heart. Because love should never feel like you’re waiting to be picked.
