"If you make intense supplication and the timing of the answer is delayed, do not despair of it. His reply to you is guaranteed; but in the way He chooses, not the way you choose, and at the moment He desires, not the moment you desire."
Ibn Ata'illah Iskandari
[Al-hikam al-'Ata'iyyah]
SubhanAllah, so true. we're never ever in charge, and the sooner we submit, the sooner our hearts will feel at ease. Simply put, its not about what you want to do, or what YOU feel like doing. Its about what Allah wants you to do, because ideally, you do not live this life for yourself. Your living it like a traveler. Its just something we're passing through. Why do we act like we're going to be here forever then? Stocking up those clothes, simple luxeries that we take for Normal are things we're going to be asked about on the day of judgement.
Society sucks so bad. If i wanted to live in a small house with white walls and florecscent light bulbs, when i had the ability to live somewhere better, people would never let me forget it. Not to say act like you're poor. But live simply.
They say you can test your faith by shutting yourself up in a room with white walls and nothing on them. Can i even stand being by myself and Allah for a couple of hours?
goshdarn nafs. always wanting stuff thats bad for me. even me feeding it whenever it has a craving is making it stronger.
hello fasting mondays and thrusdays.
