Wow, how do I like a post a 1000 times?? This was so so beautiful! Thank you for sharing sister, my Allah reward you abundantly!
I can't even pick out a specific part I loved, all of it was so articulately put, ma sha Allah.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately, as someone who used to rely on people for her own happiness, and now turning to rely on Allah, because those people left and will leave, but Allah always remains.
JazakAllah Khayr for this, it definitely sparked some inspiration for one of my future posts on attachment!!
What a beautiful piece! It’s as though you were in my head. I recently got through a friendship breakup and detachment issue. I felt my world could end because I knew this person my whole life and we were inseparable, so how could I even begin to detach? I put on so many expectations and I got disappointed. And that was the best thing that ever happened to me because I realized the only one I need in my life is Allah. I can pour down all my expectations on him and he never disappoints, he’ll never leave me. That got me closer to Allah. Now the conversations I have with that person, I have it silently with my Lord, in my sujood, and whenever I raise my hands to pray. I still love the person deeply, but I’ve learned to do it by the sideline and pray for her. That healed me in sooo many ways. It was a blessing in disguise, Alhamdulillah.
