وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته Beautiful Nadia,
Wa iyaki my soul sister. May Allah reward you with a house next to Him for your struggles and ease Ameen . Ameen to your duas. Life is hard but so beautiful because we strive for His sake. Keep on coming back to the PAUSE framework, trust Allah will guide you to exactly what you need and remember why you strive , for His Pleasure.
Jazaki Allahu khairan for this beautiful post. I have always loved your work because it comes from your heart. May Allah subhanau tala purify our intentions and unite us all in jannat ul ala. Aameen. I must admit that I didn’t pay attention to your first post so much. But, here I am getting totally inspired by this post. I have been struggling with lots of mental drama lately. What a great reminder and a sweet remedy. I am so grateful to Allah for this reminder and for you my beautiful soul sister for your creativity and genuine way of reminding us. May Allah bless you. Looking forward to speak to you sometime soon in sha Allah!
I have been following your PAUSE framework very gratefully because I have been through two years of mental health struggles, and I felt that I hadn’t moved forward with the energy or discipline that I should have after I healed. (Especially, since, I had felt very enlightened through the process of healing and believed that I would now change and become a better Muslim.)
However, I haven’t followed it as diligently as I would have liked, carrying out only a few of the exercises mentioned. But I have, very eagerly, looked forward to your PAUSE posts, finding myself deeply connected to what you say.
Today, I, too, reminded myself of the essence of this ayah, telling myself that everything that makes me feel like a failure, and irredeemable in Allah’s sight, comes from shaytan. I made a vow to get up, dust off, and start over every time I felt I had sunk low. So, Jazak Allah khair. Once again, Allah ta’ala chose your posts to echo my own thoughts and confirm their validity. Alhamdulillah!
Thank you for your beautiful reflection. You’ve reminded me how harsh we can sometimes be with ourselves, and how much we need to remember that we have an enemy who is our sworn enemy. Thank you also for reminding me of the love and mercy of Allah, Who never fails to guide us to what we need most.
Dusting yourself off is a form of jihad, and Allah loves those who strive for His sake. Wa iyyaki, my dear sister. I am humbled, grateful, and joyful that you chose to read my newsletter and join me on the PAUSE journey.
May Allah grant you tawfeeq, reward you abundantly, and draw you even closer to Him than you are now. Ameen.
I love you for the sake of the One, the Most High.
