Reflections For Myself

Reminder for myself

Don't ever make a decision without Allāh ﷻ. Dua, Istikharah, tahajud. If you are seeking His aid, you'll get to a beautiful destination, even if the route currently looks obscured. It will work out. Don't obsess over the 'How', rather obsess in Dua & tawakul.
