From Yasmin Mogahed : "Reclaim your Heart"
"......
If you allow dunya to enter your heart, like the ocean that owns a boat, it will take over. You will sink down to the depths of the sea. You will touch the ocean floor. And you will feel as though you were at your lowest point. Entrapped by your sins and the love of this life, you will feel broken, surrounded by darkness. That's the amazing thing about the floor of the ocean. NO LIGHT REACHES IT.
However, this dark place is not the end. Remember that the darkness of night precedes the dawn. And as long as your heart still beats, this is not the death of it. You don't have to die here. Sometimes, the ocean floor is only a stop on the journey. And it is when you are at this lowest point, that you are faced with a choice. YOU CAN STAY THERE AT THE BOTTOM, UNTIL YOU DROWN. OR YOU CAN GATHER PEARLS AND RISE BACK UP - STRONGER FROM THE SWIM AND RICHER FROM THE JEWELS.
If you seek Him, God can raise you up, and replace the darkness of the ocean, with the light of His sun. Know that transformation sometimes begins with a fall. So never curse the fall. The ground is where humility lives. TAKE IT. LEARN IT. BREATHE IT IN. AND THEN COME BACK STRONGER, HUMBLER AND MORE AWARE OF YOUR NEED FOR HIM.
......."
He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.
Never lose hope whenever you feel like you're at the lowest point of your life.
I was once at that point because of people. *Yea I know I was being stupid*
Alhamdulillah I learnt a lesson, now I feel better, stronger, happier and lighter.
Simply because....
From the two choices above, I made a decision to choose the latter.
And of course with the will of the Almighty. :)
