The more I struggle the more I live, the more I learn about myself and the more I learn about Him. Learning about oneself is a life-long process... And to know oneself is to know the Creator.
And the most amazing thing is that all of our struggles, all of our knowledge avails him not, for He is Al-Alim, As-Samad, Al-Hakim. He Alone is our Ultimate Reality, for Reality is our Truth. Haaqa is Al-Haqq.
God knows all, knows our hearts. He loves us - and for a servant who strives for His knowledge and Love, He bestows the highest reward: Tranquility.
Yesterday I felt a bit stressed about money… the thing that drives so many people in this society. The lesson is being able to realize that God is the One who sustains us, not money. I now feel more at ease. I know I’ll have to struggle this semester, but with His Grace all will be well.
This Peace has pervaded all of my affairs and has come at a time when I truly needed it. After Ramzi, I wasn’t sure who I’d end up with. Not who the person, but who the caliber of person. Although I feel ashamed to admit it, I was beginning to lose hope that perhaps I’d ever find anyone well suited for me.
He always brings hope.
Majeed is perhaps more like me than I previously recognized. We are genuinely unattached to what we have. All thanks to Him, we have not been made arrogant. When I think of him, when I’m with him, there is calmness within me… a feeling not without felicity. Peace.
…And hope.
