There was a time when these words deeply moved me:

We for You | Daily Reflection | *by Maryam* ❤️

Salam Alaikum dear Sisters. 🌸
How are you feeling today?

“No one cooks breakfast or dinner for a woman every day.
No one cleans up after her, irons her clothes, or prepares them for her to wear. Yet everyone looks at her as if she must, as if it is her duty to anticipate every need, meet every demand, hold everything together. As if she owes something simply for existing.”
How many of us have felt this? Exhausted, quietly hurt, carrying so much yet feeling unseen. Waiting for someone to notice, to say, “You too deserve to rest.”
But then I realised, how easy it is to slip into the mindset of a victim. To say, “No one takes care of me,” and hide there. The truth is -no one can truly care for us if we don’t first allow ourselves to be cared for, if we never pause, breathe, and honour our own needs.
In Islam, balance is an act of worship. Our beloved Prophet pbuh said:

“Your body has a right over you.”(Bukhari)

Caring for yourself -resting, eating, smiling, praying with a calm heart -is not selfish. It is ibadah, because you cannot pour from an empty cup.
So start with small things TODAY and don’t wait for better time:

🌷 Make breakfast for yourself with love.

🌷 Wear something beautiful today, not because you must, but because you wish to honour the soul Allah SWT gave you.

🌷 Allow yourself rest without guilt.

Because Allah SWT does not burden a soul beyond what it can bear (Qur’an 2:286).
And when you begin to show mercy to yourself, your home softens too -your energy changes, your children learn, your husband feels it.
True change begins not when others finally see you, but when you see yourself as Allah SWT sees you -worthy, capable, and beloved.

💖 May Allah SWT grant us wisdom to nurture ourselves and those we love with gentleness and balance.
Ameen.

Wishing everyone a beautiful day and like I said to the Queen’s group: may your week be as peaceful as a spa day and as elegant as your royal selves.💅✨
