Today I met a little girl who told me the grapes she was eating were meant for her.

A farmer planted them, the sun made them grow, someone picked them and took them to the market, and her father bought them,

just so she could eat them.

"They grew so they could come to me," she said.

And just like that, I was reminded: what is meant for you will find you.

It knows you by name.

“The believer does not allow himself to be stung twice from the same hole”

this says more about self respect than any self help books ever will.

No reality exists except through Allah (swt)’s mercy.

The only true reality is Allah (swt)’s mercy.

Allah (swt) doesn’t need you.

Allah (swt) doesn’t need your forgiveness.

Allah (swt) doesn’t need your dikr.

Allah (swt) doesn’t need your dua.

Allah (swt) doesn’t need your prayers.

Allah (swt) doesn’t need your fasting.

Allah (swt) doesn’t need your donation.

All that you do, all that you are, is for you.

Everything you do, everything you collect, is for you.

Worshipping Him is only and only for you.

It’s a big box of gift that you’re wrapping up for yourself, only to unwrap it when you’ll ever need the most.

Dua is a form of worship.

Don’t forget that Dua is a form of worship.

Your lord is not burdened by your calling.

Your lord doesn’t get tired of listening to you.

Your lord doesn’t get annoyed when you call upon him.

Your lord doesn’t forget that you asked.

Your lord, As-sami, al-kareem,

He loves it when you call upon Him.

Because Dua, in itself is worship.

Trust your unknown future to a known God.

Let him take care of what’s bothering, unsettling, and what you don’t understand.

And hey, what if you don’t understand what point of life you’re at, right now? You’re not meant to have everything figured out, at whatever the point of time you’re wondering. Nobody has everything figured out. There’s only one who knows more, and the only one who has complete control of your life.

What if, all you got to do is just let go and trust?

Trust your unknown future to your known God.

He knows what’s best for you.

Dua’s for the last ten days of Ramadan.

[profoundscribblesig]

Humility is about recognizing your flaws, admitting when you are wrong, and submitting to the truth.

When you realize the weight of your mistake and turn to God, you are humbling yourself—acknowledging that you are not perfect and that you need His forgiveness.

True humility isn’t just about feeling regret; it’s about sincerely owning up to your shortcomings and seeking to correct them.

If, after seeking forgiveness, you feel relief and recognize that even the opportunity to repent is a mercy from God, then that is gratitude.

You’re thankful that you were given the awareness to recognize your mistake and the ability to turn back before it’s too late.

So, the act of admitting the mistake and seeking forgiveness is humility, but if you also feel a deep sense of appreciation that you were guided back, then that becomes gratitude as well.

You’re not meant to be ‘strategic’ with Allah (swt) like you’re with people. You’re meant to break down.

People possess evil, even the most righteous people are capable of evil. But Allah possesses no evil. None, whatsoever. So you don’t have to be ‘careful’ with your Duas. You’re not meant to be strategic with it or diplomatic.

You’re meant to be vulnerable. You’re meant to show your weakness. You’re meant to show your desperation. You’re meant to show that you trust that He’s sufficient. And He is the best disposer of affairs.

So what if you break down? What if you shed tears? What if you come off weak? He’s Allah (swt) ; the lord who knows heaven and the earth, and the minute details of it. He knows what’s in your heart and what you need. You’re not meant to show your strength to Allah (swt) to be enriched by His mercy, but rather, your weakness.

Break down a little. Get comfortable with getting uncomfortable, a little. Shed tears. Talk. Pour your heart out. Who knows it better than the one who made it?

Your relief from a test, could be a test in disguise.

We pray, we hope, we cry.

We don’t let go of even a single night of Ramadan to sit in our prayer mat and beg for Allah’s mercy.

And one fine day, Allah alleviates all pain.

You wake up with that problem wiped off your life.

You wake up with your financial burdens fixed.

What used to weigh you down, doesn’t weigh you down anymore.

What used to take a toll on your emotional health, doesn’t seem to matter anymore.

What used to shake up your reality, doesn’t do so anymore.

You’re free. And days pass. Weeks pass, months pass and years pass. Almost to the day you forget that you were once tested with this specific test.

That could be the very day you begin to enter a new test.

You’re tested to see the level of compassion you can show for someone who is now in the situation, you used to pray Allah to take you out of.

You could be tested by witnessing someone else struggling to draw themselves out of the pain you used to feel in the middle of your chest. And how easily you could say, “I don’t remember that pain, so I don’t know what you feel like”.

Or, “it’s convenient for me to judge you or label you at this point, so let me do that”

Or, “I don’t risk losing what I gained in this worldly sense so I’ll leave a blind eye to what was once a reality to me”

Here, you could be entering your real test.

Your loyalty is tested.

Your memory is tested.

Your roots are tested.

Your capability to do good is tested.

Your integrity is tested.

Not even for others to see, but it’s simply between you and Allah.

It’s not always about “being smart” to run off from something, taking no accountability. It’s never even “smart” to begin with.

Reflect on your real life and what you’ve been through. When you come out of the problem you begged Allah to take you out of. Reminisce. Show gratitude. Show contentment. Show mercy to others who are struggling. And try to keep yourself small by thinking, “I could still be there, but Allah chose to release me”.

Jealousy begins with insecurity. When you look at someone being blessed, and if your whole world crumbles, it's not against the nature to feel this way. But, remember, oh, always remember, that is the core of your jealousy budding. If you catch yourself looking at somebody else, having a better life or a good life, a happier aura, goodness in wealth, beauty, success, love, support. Or if they’re chosen. And if you catch yourself feeling something’s off about them, just because they have everything, they have it all, and they're happy— try to focus on that feeling. Sit with that feeling. Try to understand that feeling. Where does it come from? Is it because they are enjoying, they are receiving, they are being blessed? Or is it because you don't have enough?

When someone receives a blessing, especially somebody who you thought would never was “worthy” of a certain blessing, and in case, if Allah favors them, just because He can, because that's who He is, He’s capable of anything, He favors whoever He likes. And if at all that happens, and if that doesn't sit well with you, remember, that's a test on you.

If you think that just because you don't see something more in someone, if you think that they don't deserve a blessing, it's on you. Correct yourself. Pick yourself up. Change yourself. Because that's a rabbit hole that you don't want to go into. That's where your insecurity turns into jealousy. That's where the jealousy starts picking up a fire that explodes in thousand volumes. You don't want that for yourself. And the only person who will be burned in this is only you. Because clearly, if you decide to fuel this feeling, you have failed the test of Allah. So whenever you have a feeling of insecurity, sit with that feeling. Feel it all and let it go. Ask Allah to grant twice of what they have for them, so that the angels will make dua for you to have the same.

Authenticy comes from experience.

People who have no story have no choice but to copy paste you.

authenticity is often forged in the crucible of experience. It's the sum of our stories, our triumphs, our struggles, and our growth. Those who lack their own narrative may indeed resort to imitation, copying and pasting the experiences and identities of others in a quest to find their own voice.

Yet, true authenticity cannot be borrowed or replicated; it must be cultivated from within. Each individual journey is unique, and it's through embracing our own stories that we find the courage to live authentically.

So, honor your experiences, for they are the foundation of your authenticity, and trust that your story is yours alone to tell.

Honesty is the characteristic of Allah's messengers and their followers.

Rasulullah s.a.w., when asked who the best people are, answered, "Everyone who is pure of heart and sincere in speech." Honesty also brings Barakah in our day-to-day dealings with others.

Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. said in a hadith (which means): "If they (the buyer and seller) spoke the truth and made clear the defects of the goods, they would be blessed in their

transaction. And if they told lies and hid some facts, their transaction would be deprived of Allah's blessings." This is not just restricted to our business transactions, but it includes all our interactions. So don't think that a lie is acceptable when there is no harm done. The harm is done, firstly to us before everything else, as depriving ourselves of Allah's blessing is one of the worst damage we can do to ourselves.

Different people have different iman levels. And that’s okay. Some of us are entirely cut off from Allah but living and breathing every blessings of His. Some of us are trying our best to crawl our way out to the prayer mat to fulfill a prayer. Some of us are struggling with Quran. Some of us are struggling with Istigfar. Some of us are struggling to balance worldly and spiritual life. Some of are doing the bare minimum to not feel guilty and some of us are doing everything spiritually, yet letting go worldly responsibilities.

But in Allah’s eyes, we never know which rank we belong to. He made us and he knows where we stand. He knows our strengths so he knows how much effort we put matter to which degree. Different people have different strengths. Allah has made us with these differences. The point is that, we try. Not be stagnant. Don’t compare your day one to someone else’s day 365. Don’t compare your bare attempts to someone else’s perfection. Try to allocate time. Build a habit. Truly show up for Allah from whatever place that we belong to.

Success in this world doesn’t guarantee success in the hereafter. Success in this world for a short period doesn’t ensure success in the long run. Success in this world doesn’t define anything. Perhaps other than it being another tool of test. To test how you take it on. Who you exploit while you have power. Who you refuse to help while you have the capability. What you choose to do with your money. What justice you do to your children. To people who believe you despite whatever the direction your credibility is pointing at, on a bad day. To test how much you let your success consume you. If you let it make you arrogant. And forget the existence of the lord who made you, and made it all happen. To test if a competitor’s success makes your blood boil. And what extend you go to, to sabotage another person’s happiness. To test how many people you’ll feed when you have the opportunity to do so. To test, at the end of the day, if you could lay everything down, and submit, and say, “Everything is from you, my lord”. Or if you choose to switch the narrative to how you tried, and how you succeeded, constantly seeking validation from a mass crowd who refuse to give it whatsoever.

Success in this world is a test. In every way, it is a test. And failure could also be a test. But according to me, success could be the most dangerous forms of test, because you think you’re winning. Allah lets you believe that you’re winning. While you’re slowly but surely collapsing into a rabbit hole of failure. What’s most dangerous is that you could be failing the hereafter— while you think you’re winning this world. And may end up with neither this world, or your hereafter.

What’s meant for you will not only find you but it will feel right for you. I know what you’re thinking, some things that have gone unsuccessful in your life, like a loss, or a divorce, felt right at that time. But even those were meant for you. Maybe it didn’t serve the purpose of what you signed up for, but it definitely served the purpose of what Allah meant for you to learn out of it. And in that way, that’s meant for you. It’s meant for you to learn. It’s meant for you to change. It’s meant for you to become more disciplined. It’s meant for you to be kinder, stronger, better. It’s meant for you. You see, if we measured every success through how well of a purpose it has in this dunya only, we may never even come close to the massive wisdom Allah upholds upon us. Everything is connected to your akhirah, your afterlife and your scale that’s going to determine if you’re going to enter Jannah or not. In the larger scale of things, trust that, Allah is on your side, more than anyone ever can be.
