self-reflection 🕊

life is a temporary test, every season has its ups and downs. just don’t let the tough times destroy you and don’t let the good times distract you. if we aren’t here forever, neither are our problems ― to Allah we will return.

#42 💨 rightt, i feel you, i feel like just like that we’ve completed the 1/3 of Ramādhan! so fast, masya allah… but maybe also because we are more used to it, and we don’t really find it as challenging as before. but of course, let’s not waste this opportunity to multiply our deeds, on this special month.

#41 (continuation) whenever you feel that way, delay the urge by 10 minutes, make wudhu, pray 2 rakaat. replace harm with release — cry in sujud instead. Allah is not disappointed in you for struggling. He is closest to you when you are broken and calling Him. “Allah is Gentle with His servants…” — Qur’an (42:19) i believe you are strong! you are more stronger what you think you are.

#41 🎞️ first of all, self harm is not allowed in Islam because your body is an amanah (trust) from Allah. Allah says: “And do not kill yourselves. Indeed, Allah is ever Merciful to you.” [an nisa’ 4:29] And the Prophet ﷺ said: “There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm.” your pain matters, but harming yourself is not the solution — and it is not what Allah wants for you. now about why you feel like relapsing in this holy month… Ramādhan doesn’t remove pain, it exposes what we’ve been suppressing. when distractions reduce — less eating, less socialising, more silence — the emotions we buried sometimes rise to the surface. that doesn’t mean you’re weak. it means your heart is processing. also remember: syaitan may be chained, but our nafs (inner struggles) are still there, healing is not linear. three months clean is HUGE. a relapse urge does not erase progress.

#40 🕹️ first of all, know that whatever you are feeling and facing right now, it is by the grace of Allah, He allow it to happen so it happened, but never put yourself down, maybe when you’re feeling angry, instead of lashing it at someone, change it to reading the qur’an? trust me, you will feel peaceful, definitely, confirm plus chop! may Allah grant u ease and patience at all times!

ان الله معك في كل مر ومره Sometimes we only remember Allah when things feel bitter and heavy, when plans fail or hearts feel tired, but this reminder tells us something deeper. Allah is with you in every hardship and in every phase of your life, in every repeated pain and even in the quiet tears no one sees. If Allah is with you, then your hardship is not abandonment, your delay is not rejection, and your struggle is never unseen. Perhaps the question is not “Why is this happening to me?” but “How close am I to Allah in this moment?” Because when you truly believe that Allah is with you, you walk through pain differently, you respond differently, and even the bitterness becomes a path that gently leads you back to Him ✨

#39 🧕🏼 nauzubillah, this is an example that our words, will eventually be an impact to someone’s life.. but wallahi, trust me, this time round, try, try your best to not listen to what people have to say! i know its never easy but do it with the intention to please Allah. and ask Allah for guidance, slowly but surely, remember, Allah sees your efforts! He knows what you are going through right now, and He know you that you can bear it.

After a certain age, your parents slowly become your children. They ask simple questions, repeat stories, and depend on your patience the way you once depended on theirs. Very few understand this role reversal. What looks like innocence or inconvenience is really time coming full circle. Don't correct them harshly. Don't rush them. Care for them the way they once protected you. This is not a burden. It is repayment, quietly wrapped as love 🦋

Maybe Allah made relationships haram so that we don't fall in love with someone else's naseeb instead of our own How painful would it be if we weren't in love with the name Allah swt has written next to ours and promised us all those years ago ? To my dear subscribers who are spamming every possible marriage dua this ramadhan in your prayers, unburdened your heart and leave it to Allah. There is so much to look forward to in life, if it's meant to be, itll be !

The hardest part is realising that we are our biggest enemy. Acknowledging that our Nafs are stronger than we think. Even though Shaytan is locked up, he has managed to leave pockets of influence all over us. It's a very tough and bitter pill to swallow, to know that when we slip in temper, our impatience, laziness in Ibadah, is not because of waswasa, but rather it's our ownself and the evil that has built with us. May Allah help us to become better Muslims in this Ramadan & beyond and help us to establish good habits & strengthen our Iman 🤲🏽

if Allah can bring an end to this dunya, He can surely bring an end to your problems. there is nothing He can’t fix. just have sabr.

#38 🥲 if something disturbs my ease, i would instantly remove it and let it go.. because i know that if i were to continue to keep it and hold onto it, i will eventually go crazy (not literally) but mentally…. so wallahu ‘alam! this is what i would do 😅

#37 🥥 bismillah, according to the mazhab imam asy-syafi’e, doa qunut in solat fajr is not wajib however it is a sunnah that is highly recommended to practice! in Singapore, according to stats, most of us follow madhab imam asy-syafie… soo, if you do it, you will gain a little bit more rewards, in sya allah!

#36 🪡 its okayy! first of all, you’re feeling this way because He is allowing u to feel this way. and we’ve only entered the first 2 weeks of Ramādhan, slowlyy, push yourself a little bit! to read the qur’an, to go for terawih. Allah sees your efforts! 💚

#35 🌙 alhamdulillahh, masya allah, keep the good work! and for indeed, istiqomah is never easy, myself, my imaan too, has always been up and down but just remember! everytime that happens, ask Allah; for ease in istiqomah & for you to stay patient despite what ever befalls u! remember, Allah sees your effort!
