"Remember this: with hardship comes ease."

Dear Self,

Life isn’t always easy. The days can feel overwhelmingly long, filled with challenges that seem impossible to overcome. The world around you often feels chaotic—a swirling storm of distractions, expectations, and unforeseen events. It’s in these moments that you might feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, questioning your strength and wondering when relief will come. But in the midst of this turbulence, there is something greater than all your struggles. There is hope. There is mercy. And there is Allah.

Remember this: with hardship comes ease (94:6). This is not just a promise—it’s a reality, woven into the fabric of your existence. Every trial you face has a purpose. Every moment of pain is an opportunity for growth, every challenge a lesson in resilience. Allah, in His infinite wisdom, knows what your heart can bear and what you are capable of. Trust in that divine wisdom, even when it feels hard to see the bigger picture.

When the world feels heavy, seek closeness to Allah. The peace found in prayer, the solace in dhikr (The act of remembering Allah and engaging in spiritual devotion through phrases like "Glory be to Allah" or "All Thanks and Praise is Allah's"), and the comfort in knowing that He is always near are treasures far greater than anything this world can offer. Material possessions, fleeting pleasures, and external validations pale in comparison to the tranquility that comes with spiritual connection. That peace within—rooted in faith and obedience to Allah—is the foundation of true wellness. It’s a reminder that your worth is not measured by the chaos outside but by the calm within.

Stay focused, self. Keep your heart and actions intentional, purposeful, and obedient to Allah. Strive to see life through the lens of gratitude and faith, knowing that every step, no matter how challenging, is part of a divine plan. Let your efforts be fueled by the certainty that everything—every tear, every stumble, every joy—will make sense in the end. Allah’s plan is perfect, even when it feels incomprehensible.

Remember that this world is temporary. Its madness, its allure, its distractions—they are fleeting. Don’t let them sway you from your path or steal your focus. Keep your eyes on the ultimate goal: closeness to Allah and the peace of Jannah (Paradise, the eternal home of peace and reward promised by Allah to those who live righteously and remain faithful). The trials of this life are only stepping stones to something far greater.

So, when the days grow hard and the nights seem endless, remind yourself of this truth. Anchor yourself in the mercy of Allah, and let your heart be uplifted by the hope He provides. You are never alone, and you are stronger than you realize. The answers you seek will come, and everything will come together beautifully in the end. Trust, wholeheartedly, in Allah’s plan.

With love and faith,
My dear self
