A Silent But Catastrophic Storm Drew Near And Blew All The Happiness That Could Be Merely Attained By

A silent but catastrophic storm drew near and blew all the happiness that could be merely attained by possibly cherishing the right that has been gifted to me by the one who loves me the most in this entire world. An excruciating pain shoots across my head which directly leads to my heart, leaving my brain and heart both paralyzing and dazed. The noise of shattering echoes in my mind. Shattering of what you ask? Shattering of dreams, self confidence, self love, trust, compassion and above all, love. A love that was nothing but a delusional chase that horribly turned into a terrifying nightmare which altered the subtle yet sublime track of my nerves. Yet still, there is a spark of hope that resides in every cell of my body which believes in the course of life—which will prefer my happiness over anything in this temporary hostage. The suppressed tears, the long gasps of air, the stone cold heart, the screeching voice of my heart which limits itself to myself because the world is immune to the pain of others. I am humiliated by my own thoughts. The ocean of thoughts that drown me in the miseries of my choices. However, this won't last forever. The sun will shine and the darkness will fade. With that hope, I move forward.

Al-Uthaymīn رحمه الله said:

“When a person is at home then it is from the Sunnah,

that for example he makes his own tea,

cooks if he knows how to and,

washes up that which needs washing,

all of this is from the Sunnah.

then you get the reward of following the Sunnah, with imitating the Messenger ﷺ

and in humbling yourself for Allaah - the Mighty and Majestic.

This also brings about love between you and your wife...

When your family sense that you help them in their chores

they will love you and your value to them will increase,

therefore, this will end up being a great benefit.”

[Sharh Riyadh As-Sāliheen, (3/529)]

Duā for forgiveness

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي ظُلْماً كَثِيراً، وَلَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَغْفِرَةً مِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَارْحَمْنِي إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ

"O Allah, I have greatly wronged myself and no one forgives sins but You. So, grant me forgiveness and have mercy on me. Surely, you are Forgiving, Merciful."

I pray to Allāh ﷻ that we become amongst the people whom He سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى saves eternally from the Hell this Ramadan. Ameen Sum Ameen.

Pray to Allāh ﷻ for forgiveness, sincerely repent and strive to please Him سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى only. You'll see your life changing. Ask Allāh ﷻ to wipe away all of your sins, and even better, to replace it with good deeds.

—May Allah ﷻ accept our repentance, prayers and fasting. Ameen Sum Ameen.

رَبَّنَا وَاٰتِنَا مَا وَعَدْتَّنَا عَلٰي رُسُلِكَ وَلَا تُخْزِنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ ؕ اِنَّكَ لَا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيْعَادَ

"Our Lord! Grant us what You have promised us through Your messengers and do not put us to shame on Judgment Day—for certainly You never fail in Your promise.”

—Surah Aal-e-Imran [3:194]

Something very profound. Don't become a prisoner of your speech.

“As long as you remain silent, you will be safe. Then when you speak, it will either be written in your favour or against you.”

Sufyan Ibn 'Uyaynah رحمه الله said:

"He whose sin is due to desire, then have hope for him; and he whose sin is due to pride, then fear for him. Because Adam (alayhi al-Salam) sinned due to desire, and he was forgiven; and Iblis sinned due to pride, and he was cursed."
