You got through the days that you thought are your worst.
You got through all those moments when it felt that it's too much to handle for your little heart, you were at the verge of drowning but Allah held and saved you from that very storm.
You cried when no one saw you, whispered your duass in silence of the night, and yet He heard you.
So have faith in His plan and keep going for this pain shall too pass like any other, and trust that He sees every little tear that falls off from any of those eyes.
Because Allah knows.
He knows how much you try when others don't see it.
He knows when you feel like you're falling behind while everyone else seems ahead.
He knows what you carry within yourself and how heavily it weighs you down.
He sees the sacrifices you make when no one around appreciates.
He sees the courage that it takes to be kind in a world that keeps testing your patience.
He sees when you choose silence over arguing to maintain the peace.
He knows how you keep giving even though you're almost empty inside.
And so He promises:
This life was never meant to be all easy. It's a prison for the believer.
Life and the ways that it tests you might seem really unfair but it's not because Allah wants you to break but because He desires to bring you closer.
Every heartache, every pain, as small as a needle pricking your finger is going to get you one step closer to Jannah.
For with every little ounce of pain or suffering you feel in this world you'll be rewarded for it in the Hereafter.
Your sins will be wiped off like water sweeps off the mirror leaving it clean and sparkling, shiner and newer as ever.
You're being rewarded every time you chose patience over impatience, kindness over anger, forgiveness over resentment, for holding onto hope when giving up felt easier, you are earning a reward that no greatest treasures in this world can ever contain.
The tests you face in this life are not for Allah to know you - He already knows. It's for you to know yourself from within.
For you to recognise if what you uttered on your tongue is also what you believe within your heart.
To either be a witness for yourself or a witness against yourself.
Jannah was never meant to be cheap, it comes with a price. It was designed to be earned.
To be longed for by those whose hearts believed and proved that they're worthy of it.
These struggles? They are the price that will pay the ticket to your Jannah.
This life might not always make sense, but your endurance and resilience through the hardships you face makes it far more beautiful than ease ever could.
You were not created for the dunya or to live permanently in it. You were created for something far better.
And every time you turn to Allah, with trembling hands, shaky voice and tears rolling down your cheeks— you are walking towards that very home you were always made for. ❤
