If you feel like youre missing out on the blessed days of Zulhijjah because of your committments, remember,

Ibadah is beyond just prayer, even going to school/work can be a means to get closer to Allah and a form of ibadah ! Set your intentions, do things for the sake Allah and give it your best

Surely Allah will reward you for your effort :)

this Dhul Hijjah is yours, make du’a for the things you think are impossible, because nothing is impossible for Allah. keep asking, keep hoping, keep turning to Him in every moment. you don’t need the perfect words. these days can change everything, if you don’t waste them.

🏃‍♂️

sometimes, all you need is just yourself, go out alone, eat outside alone, go for a run alone. it’s never a negative thing to do things alone.

learn things about yourself, discover things that people might not know about you. take this time off to relieve yourself from this Dunya, and maybe treat yourself with a little meal.

enjoy your own company, alone time, that’s when your messy thoughts will come into place, and in the end, you’ll feel the calmness.

lately, i have been going out alone to see if i am able to do things alone, as i am quite a dependent person. but, unknowingly, alhamdulillah, i am able to do things alone, and i infact prefer my own company, going on my own way, and enjoy every little things about myself.

trust me, it works.

learn to love yourself first, before loving others.

at the end of the day, all you have is your own self.

this few days, try to tweak your sleeping schedule for abit!

to maybe get more alone time at 3/4 of the night with Allah. ❤️

oh how i wish to be there, once again. 🥲 in sya allah, may Allah grant us a chance, again.

When someone asks me what my biggest fear is but I cant say the day Allah reads to me what is written in my book and I realise my bad deeds outweigh my good ones causing me to lose my place in the gardens ive hoped for my whole life because they wouldnt understand so I just say insects
