Part three: Pain

but He is still the One who purifies. And even if your tongue forgets how to make du’a, your tears still carry your prayer to Him. Healing doesn't come all at once. It's not always dramatic. Sometimes, it's in the smallest moments the whisper of "Ya Allah" at 2 a.m., the shaking hands that open the Qur'an after weeks, the one sujood where you finally let it all out. These tiny acts become doors back to Him. You are not alone in your pain. Others feel it too, in different shapes and shades. But more importantly, Allah sees the full picture of your heart not just the broken parts, but also the pieces that are trying to return. You may have shut down. You may have gone silent. But it’s never too late to turn back. And at that moment when I lost myself, I figured it out that Allah lifted me up when I looked up and asked for His assistance. with love M💕
