you are in my duas angel, may Allah swt make this easy for you & replace this loss with something far greater. sometimes we forget that Allah rewards even the smallest of deeds, so imagine the reward you will be receiving for this huge sacrifice إن شاء الله !!!

thank you so much for reading, sending you tons of hugs 🫂💗💗💗💗

loved reading this. the insights. the lessons. the reminders. JazakAllah Khair sis for sharing!

from start to finish i was so focussed. honestly it can be so difficult to remain soft and have patience without being stepped over in this dunya.

it’s a balancing act of allowing ourselves to be close to our faith in action but also to make sure that we do not allow the world to crumple us into a million pieces.

thanks again for writing and sharing sis 🩵

I also went through the same thing in my early life. I went through many challenges and chose not to overcome it. I heard many times before, that pain is not a curse and it is there to uplift you. That’s what I’m taking with me to help me become a stronger and better individual. 🙏❤️🙌✌️
