A Letter From My Heart
April 20th, Sunday, was a day that broke me.
It started like any other morning, but as I read about the beloved daughter of our Prophet (SAW), Hazrat Fatima (RA), something inside me shattered. The pain and suffering she endured, her strength, and the love she had for her father—it touched me deeply. I’ve always held a great respect and admiration for women. It hurts me to see any woman or girl in distress, and as I read her story, tears began to fall, and they didn’t stop. I spent the whole afternoon crying, unable to pull myself together.
Later that day, I opened Substack, and there, a post from a sister caught my attention. The words she wrote echoed in my heart and my chest, and I couldn’t hold back. I immediately opened the Quran, sat on my prayer mat, and cried even more. The emotions kept flowing, and they haven’t stopped. For the past two days, I’ve been overwhelmed by this sorrow.
But it didn’t end there.
This morning, I found out that my cousin sister, who had recently married, lost her unborn child. I was already fragile, already broken, and hearing this news just left me speechless, motionless. My heart is in pieces, and I feel as though I’m bleeding emotionally. The pain is unbearable, and the weight of it is suffocating.
As I sit here, my eyes swollen from crying, I don’t know what to do anymore.
If you’re reading this, I’m asking for your prayers. I need them more than ever. Please make dua for me,Your prayers mean the world to me right now.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. May Allah bless each and every one of you.

heartbreaking read, you write with such sincerity pouring from your heart brother. Will make dua for you and for those around you InshaAllah 🤲🏻
أَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ أَن تَدْخُلُوا ٱلْجَنَّةَ وَلَمَّا يَأْتِكُم مَّثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ خَلَوْا۟ مِن قَبْلِكُم ۖ مَّسَّتْهُمُ ٱلْبَأْسَآءُ وَٱلضَّرَّآءُ وَزُلْزِلُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يَقُولَ ٱلرَّسُولُ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَعَهُۥ مَتَىٰ نَصْرُ ٱللَّهِ ۗ أَلَآ إِنَّ نَصْرَ ٱللَّهِ قَرِيبٌۭ
Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you? They were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until [even] the Messenger and those who believed with him said, 'When is the help of Allah?’ Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near.
لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
There will be no fear upon them, nor will they grieve.
Maybe just maybe Allah puts a trial in our lives not to punish us but to make us enter paradise or to bring us back to him. Remember every pain that brings you closer to Allah is a true blessing.
May Allah ease the heaviness in your heart, keeping everyone going through pain in my dua’s.✨
