Read an article by Yasmin Mogahed. The reality of the writing moved me to tears.
I wished i could write like that, put my heart down in words. Convey my feelings with ease.
Guess I should try harder, and read a lot more too.
I particularly liked her saying:
"I started to see what my problem was. I was expecting this life to be what it is not, and was never meant to be: perfect.
You just get burned. Only when we stop putting our hopes in dunya, only when we stop trying to make the dunya into what it is not—and was never meant to be (jannah)—will this life finally stop breaking our hearts.
We experience this emotional roller coaster because we can never find stability and lasting peace until our attachment and dependency is on what is stable and lasting. How can we hope to find constancy if what we hold on to is inconstant and perishing? "
