Ameen to all duas 🤲
Thank you for trusting us again with what’s in your heart 🥺
What you described - the exhaustion, the fear, the feeling of being forgotten, all of these are very real weights to carry, especially when one has walked much of the path alone. Please know that being heard here is not a burden; it’s a mercy Allah allows us to share and relate with one another alhumdulillah 🤗
Even as someone who’s been around Islamic spaces for a long time, I still find myself learning and growing each time, especially about gentleness, pacing, and not being harsh with myself when things feel heavy. Sometimes reading stories and journeys of reverts like yourself helps inspire and drive my iman because we all have our ups and downs and holding space like this reminds me how much we all benefit from sincerity and kindness; both towards others and ourselves as well
May Allah ease your exhaustion, place sakinah (tranquility) in your heart, and surround you with gentleness in ways you don’t even expect. May He reward you for your patience and make this stage of your journey a bridge to greater strength and light in sha Allah
