My daughter @husnahmadhy took us to Stone Town #Zanzibar #Vividimagery

Some things are written to soften us, not destroy us. And some duas are answered not by receiving what we asked for, but by finding peace with what Allah has written. There is a quiet kind of beauty in trusting Him without needing to understand everything.

Some fathers will go to extraordinary lengths to be present in one child’s life, yet become strangers to the children who once had their undivided love. Islam never taught us to correct one wrong by committing another. Every child is innocent, but no father should disguise favouritism as righteousness. Allah sees the hearts left waiting. And one day, so will those children.

Some men spend years chasing temporary attention, feeding their egos and becoming heroes in someone else’s world, while their own families quietly learn to live without them. Rasulullah ﷺ taught us that greatness begins at home. Children need love, not just provision. An amanah neglected today may become a regret tomorrow. 🤍

We give strangers our charm, attention and softness, while the ones who truly stood by us get silence, distance and the bare minimum. Funny how people chase “better” until they lose what was genuine. Some things aren’t replaceable. You just realise it when they’re no longer yours.

My life feels like mine again. No waiting, no looking back just peace, freedom, and whatever Allah has written next.

And suddenly… life feels lighter. I think I’m going to love what comes next. Alhamdulillah.

I have never been more certain of a decision than I am now. No anger, no confusion, just clarity. Alhamdulillah for finally reaching this place.

I don’t need to know why. I trust Allah completely.

Slowly finding my way back to ordinary life… but I don’t think I came back the same. Some journeys end when you reach home. Others quietly begin there. I left the place… but somehow, a part of me is still there. And perhaps it always will be…. Alhamdullillah

I returned to the same life… but not with the same heart. Some things I left there. Some things I surrendered to Allah. And some things no longer have a hold on me. That’s enough.

Some journeys touch places within you that words can’t reach. I came back with tears behind my gratitude, a heart softer than before, and a soul that only wants to stay close to Allah. Ya Rabb, don’t let me lose the person I became while seeking You.

Been a minute…

Woke up early again… not by force, just how I’m built. An early call with my brother Moe @Moe_betta79 made it even better… some mornings just come with barakah. ♥️

How we spend our weekends… at home. 🍣 a sushi kind of night… loading. just me and my princess… before anything even begins.
