When You Stop Forcing, You Start Trusting Allah.

Because what's written for you will never need chasing.

You cannot force anyone to love you. You cannot force someone to change themselves for you just the way you want them to be. You can't force anyone to accept something if they're not willing to.

You can't even enforce faith upon someone if their heart isn't aligned with their mind.

Not everything under a situation is in your control.

You plan your life around people and things that were never meant to stay. And when they slip away, you question what went wrong.

But maybe nothing did.

Because sometimes, Allah removes what you keep begging to keep. Not to hurt you, or to punish you but to remind you who truly holds your story.

And that's exactly where Tawakkul lies.

In those quiet spaces between your effort and His Decree. It's doing your best and then unclenching your fists. It is saying, "Ya Allah, I've tried, now I leave the rest in Your Hands."

It's about admitting the fact that "Whatever is out of my control, I'm handing it over to Allah."

Whatever is outside your control - hand it to Allah, the One who turns hearts and holds the east and the west. He who orders the sunrise and the stillness of the moon, each in their own orbits is more than able to care for that need that keeps you awake at night.

There is a kind of peace that enters your heart when you stop chasing outcomes and trust His plan. You may lose people, chances, and moments along the way, but you will never lose what Allah has destined for you.

What you can control is small and sacred: your prayers in the last third of the night, the honesty of your intentions, your actions, and your obedience to Allah.

Even the Prophet (SAWS) could not make every heart receive his message, his only mission was to invite and to act by truth, to set an example for mankind and leave the rest to Allah.

People were not the ones you brought you into life inside the womb of your mother. They did not breathe the first breath inside of you so that you may come alive.

They did not pen down your story with their hands, nor fix your lifespan.

They don't even have control over themselves, so how can they control you or your life?

It's always been Allah, and it will always be Him.

Whatever plans people may have for you, whatever picture they try to paint with their hands are powerless infront of the One whose plans are really meant to come live.

No amount of force or gravity can undo the plans He has written for you.

So, stop trying to pry open eyes that Allah has chosen to veil. They will only see when He grants seeing.

Instead of bargaining for a single nod, lift your hands to the Lord who draws near in the hush of night, who descends to the lowest heaven to hear the one who calls.

Ask Him to soften hearts, to open doors, to mend what you cannot.

For miracles happen when your words run out, and tears begin to speak the language of your heart. When your patience has reached its last limit and every door looks closed, yet still you whisper, "just a little more patience," the Lord Himself will make a way.

And then one day, those doors that once seemed shut to you will be opened by your Lord not one, but a hundred you never knew existed.
