Stepping Stones
Don't pay too much attention to some people. If anyone asks, just say you forgot. No explanation, no sadness. There comes a day when a person will enter your life and make you understand why things didn't work out with others. Some roads can only be walked alone.

Finding Happiness in Parting
True relief isn't found in stopping the tears. Instead of simply crying, I can look back on everything with a smile. The feeling lingers. There are regrets, but I understand the reasons behind them. There is regret, but I also understand that my regret isn't necessarily shared by the other person.

One Day, I Left Myself Behind. AI-Generated.
I woke up and found myself missing. My soul had packed its bags in the night, Leaving only a hollow echo, A whisper where a storm used to be.

Live Authentically: Embrace Your True Self
Don’t be afraid of smooth talkers who say you are not mature enough. Don’t worry about smart people who claim you are not wise enough. And never accept the life others recommend to you without question. Instead, choose to stay true to yourself, follow your ideals, and listen to the call of your heart—only then can you live the most fulfilling life.

True Patience and Faith
True Patience and Faith: History of the Poor Farmers Chapter 1: The beginning of the need near the blessed city of Madina, a small village was home to a modest farmer named Yasir. He was a man of strong faith and was always trusted by Allah's wisdom and mercy. Despite his poverty, he never complained and continued to be grateful for everything he had.Yasir's family consisted of his wife Amina and her young daughter Layla. They lived in small mud houses surrounded by small pieces of arable land. The country was not very fertile, and Yasir was not harvested enough to feed the family. Nevertheless, he never lost hope and believed that Allah would always offer.A massive drought hit the area for a year. The burnt sun has dried out from the ground, and Yasir has been harvested completely. Without the harvest, he would not have the money to eat, to feed his family, or to buy supplies. Many villagers decided to go to the city in search of work, but Yasir stayed and decided to trust Allah would open his way for him. Chapter 2: Test of Patience After the as days had passed, things got worse. Food became rare, and Yasir tried to provide one meal to the family. His wife became seriously ill due to malnutrition and immediately needed medical care. However, Yasir had no money to pay for her treatment.The wealthy dealer in theThe village has provided loans to YSIR but has a strong interest. Yasir was desperate but refused and knew that interest (RIBA) was banned in Islam. Many people foolishly called him to reject the offer, but Yasir believed that Allah would not suffer in his family if he remained immobilized in his faith.One night, overwhelmed by concern, Yasir went to the mosque. He performed two rakaa of prayer and poured his heart into the area. Tears flowed over his face, and he prayed: "O Allah! You are a provider, home. I have put full confidence in you. Give me and gave me patience in this process."He returned home with a peaceful heart and believed that Allah's help was nearby.
