This was such a refreshing and beautiful read!

To give up what you want before you have it, is indeed hard. But to give it up after you have had it, that is even harder. The grief truly seeps in.

ุณุจุญุงู† ุงู„ู„ู‡ Iโ€™ve been unableโ€”as of lateโ€”to just sit with the idea of sacrifice, and recall and reflect on Prophet Ibrahim (AS) story mindfully. This was a great reflection that I was able to internalize instantly ุงู„ู„ู‘ู‡ูู€ู…ู‘ูŽ ุจุงุฑููƒู’

Sacrifice is hard, but losing our relationship with Allah is harder. The sweetness of ease, of growth, after hardship, after our trials and tests, truly shows us that.

Jazakillahu khairan for this ๐Ÿ’œ
