“If Allah knows any good in your hearts, he will give you something better…”
[Surah Anfal, 8:70]
a broken heart is blind: v. clean your space. open a window and let in light, air: let the room...
v.
- clean your space. open a window and let in light, air: let the room breathe.
- disconnect everything. belong entirely to yourself, even if only for an hour.
- take a walk. go from your bedroom to the kitchen, from the top of your street to the bottom. if it’s raining, take a coat.
- make a cup of tea or coffee. (if you don’t like those, water, etc.) drink it sat down. concentrate on the way it fills you up; finish it completely.
- set yourself three goals for the day. write them down; small things, baby steps. (eat an apple, write a sentence, take a shower, paint your nails, do your hair, change your clothes.)
- strike them out when you’ve finished.
- write a letter. dedicate it to the present, past, future, to no one, to yourself. post it, or save it for some other day.
- listen to your body. listen to the way it moans and aches: if it’s hungry, feed it. if it’s tired, sleep. treat it, nurture it.
- love your fucking self. appreciate each capillary, muscle, bone because it’s yours, and it always will be. you are your own pillar. stay upright. stand tall.
The people who are close to Allah worry so much about wasting time that they call themselves to account for every breath they spend - how many of us wonder about how we spend our day, let alone each breath?

i’ve been listening to this nonstop since you posted it, it’s soooo nice mashaaAllah! i love it, thank you Abeer
SalamAlaikum
The way I think about it is that everything I do will either bring me either closer or further away from Allah(swt). And most music brings me farther away. And if you are listening for pleasure to escape your stress, do Allah(swt)’ s words not bring comfort to your heart? ‘Only the remembrance of Allah(swt) brings ease to one’s heart. And if it doesnt’t then there is a big problem. Allah(swt) says that if the Quran had been sent upon a mountain, the mountain would have crumbled, so if your heart doesn’t find ease in the remembrance of Allah(swt), then is your heart harder than a mountain?Just something to think about…..
