“Our connections with Allah are only because Allah Subhanahu WaTaala was able to give us these connections. This could literally be taken away by tomorrow.” 

Ask yourself, if you feel like you do not have this connection, what are ways you can work on this? And if you do, what are ways to maintain this connection?

(Something for me to read in the future lol)

“Find someone who loves you well. Someone who never belittles you. Even in the heat of an argument. Someone who is gentle with you, but does not treat you like you are fragile. Someone who knows what you are capable of, and celebrates those pieces of you. Not someone who is intimidated by your strength. Someone who doesn’t make you feel guilty for being flawed. It is not love’s job to punish you. And remember the person you love is just as broken as you are when they fall short. No one is perfect – do not hold them to this standard. Find someone who is patient, forgiving, and apologetic. Someone who practices forgiveness freely and often. Love someone who is humble, kind, and empathetic. Not only with you, but with a beggar on the street, or a stranger in the supermarket. Common courtesy is important. Compassion is important. Kindness is important.”

This worldly life is the abode of calamities and trials. It is the abode of actions and preparation for the hereafter.

Why would you tell someone you love them when your intentions were the opposite? Why would you break someone’s heart?

You placed your hand around your cup of almost gone cold coffee. You sighed and scratched your head. Your eyes had reddened, and you looked like you’ve barley had any sleep. My heart was aching but I had to stay strong for this conversation.

“I hope you know that I do care about you, I may not necessarily love you the way you want me to but I do care. I didn’t see it as breaking someone’s heart, I saw it as a way of helping myself, as selfish as it may sound. I believed you would fill the void within me and would help me forget my past. Its true that I didn’t consider the affects of my actions. I didn’t realise that my actions would hurt you. I didn’t realise how deep you had fallen for me. I genuinely enjoyed your company and you made me forget about all the bad in my life. When I was with you, for those little split moments, it felt like I was in a happier place. I now realise where I went wrong. I was running away from what I had to confront. I dived into the first place I found comfort and stayed there. And more importantly, I hurt someone who loved me and accepted me for who I am. I can only apologise for what I did to you, but I can learn from this and become better. This is my confession to you, for doing you so wrong, and I want you to know that I’m grateful for you love.”

Don’t think your prayers don’t matter. Even an imperfect salah is better than a neglected one. Allah sees your efforts, He is the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful.

“I prayed for detachment. I prayed to have what’s not meant for me to be taken away from me. It took me a while to realise that my prayers were being answered. The truth is I was afraid to lose you because of the pain that would come with it. Reality hurts. It hurts because it goes against our wishes and feelings. I watched the person I love leave my life and I had absolutely no control over it. I knew that this was a test and that all I had left was faith and trust in Allah. I knew that one day I would heal and that the pain was only temporary."

"Drifting away from someone you were once close to can be a painful experience. You start to feel the distance growing bigger, effort is no longer given, and even when you do converse with each other, it isn’t like how it used to be. You begin to look back and compare how it was before and it is now. When you begin to compare to different, you start to realise that this is a cycle which takes place. People enter your lives, stay for a temporary period of time, and once their purpose in your life is fulfilled, they will leave. It’s harder when you shared a lot with that person, whether it be little details or your deepest secrets. The reality is you just have to accept that you will lose people, no matter how hard you try to hold onto them. You just have to trust God’s decree and have the patience to see how His plans gradually unravel."

“Leaving a toxic relationship is easier said than done. When you are in a toxic relationship, you eventually become aware of the abuse you are facing. Not only you, but the people around you also begin to take notice, more so because they can see the impact that it’s having on you. It takes courage, it takes strength. When you are faced with abuse, it affects your way of thinking. Emotional abuse is more powerful than you think. You come to a point where you can barely figure out the difference between right and wrong. And in most cases, there is a fear of leaving. The first fear is to do with the fact that despite the abuse, the person has become your comfort zone. You depend on them, you are attached to them and above all, you still care for them. The second fear is to do with the fear you have of them. You are scared of their reaction, you are scared of what your departure may lead to. And the third fear is living a life without them. Will your life be better because they are no longer in it or will it get worse because of the memories which will follow behind? How long will your heart yearn for them? But there comes a point where you are left with no choice to leave, because how much longer can you live like this? And after you have left, you become so much stronger than you previously were, because by leaving, you have gained victory.”

A person can die right in front of us and we still won’t think that we could be next. How heedless we’ve become?

[fountainofthoughts]

And even without reasons to continue, we never gave up.

Daniel C. L.  (via convertions)

They will blame you for leaving, but they will never consider the courage it may have taken you. They will never consider the fact that it killed you inside. They will never consider the fact that it wasn’t an easy decision to make. They will never consider the fact that in life you have to make sacrifices. They will never consider that you did it out of love. They will never consider that you did it to protect them. Of course you can’t blame them for their anger. It’s only natural for them to be hurt. They have every right. However, the one who left also has their fair share of dealing with the after effects. I may have walked away, but I too suffered from our separation. -fountainofthoughts I never blamed you for leaving as I knew how much courage it took to let go. While I knew it killed me inside to watch you walk away, I knew it hurt you just as much. Maybe even more. While others blame you for leaving me broken, I knew it wasn’t an easy decision on your part. Though I will never completely understand the sacrifices that you made-the biggest being leaving me, I will never give up trying. While I knew that you left out of love for me and to protect me, I cannot help but feel a burning anger that you did not feel I was strong enough to stay besides you. It hurts. It hurts so much. It kills. You broke me. But, I also know that just as I am suffering, you too are in agony. For I know this love of ours is to both of us; a bittersweet love.

And here is the answer. There comes a time where letting go is no longer a choice, its a must. It will always get harder before it gets easier, but ease will always prevail. We lose people, some people we lose forever, some people we lose for a temporary amount of time but despite all this, we will always meet new people who will also impact our lives one way or another. We create memories everywhere we go, in every person we come across, in every conversation we have, in every laughter we share, in every tear we shed, memories are always created. Life is a rollercoaster of memories. Although those memories will always be cherished, they will have to be left in the past. Not everyone is destined to be in our lives. Permanence in this life was never promised to us. However, that shouldn’t stop you from moving forward because Allah’s plans will always surpass every loss and every calamity.
