Sincerely feel thankful. Loved the article. May Allah swt reward you with the bestest in all things; in this life and the hereafter — Ameen! What is with you must vanish: what is with Allah will endure… yeaah once we start contemplating on the fact tht everything is borrowed.. He will return them to us if we are followin the right path…tht thought makes life easierr. I read this and I experienced subtlety and depth. They say life is layer upon layer of meaning.
You are learning to uncover those meanings and through you i have experienced the quality of Latif over the past few days. Your blog has been an eye-of the-heart opener. I love this so so much. Thank you. Thank you very much for this lovely read. Insya Allah. Heart wrenching. Every time I read your articles I feel as though a veil has been lifted from my eyes. Subahanallah ya Yasmin, may Allah bless you n your family in jannah and dunya. He guided me to stumble upon u…ur writting is food for the soul.
MAY Allah increase u in wisdom. I really needed to hear something like this. It was beautiful. May Allah continue to give you wisdom and the ability to share, enlighten and be an inspiration for so many lost souls! May Allah keep blessing you my dear sister in Islam! SubhanAllah jazakum Allahu khayr for sharing.
It was truly what I needed to hear at the moment and that in itself is a gift from Allah swt. I agree with you what Allah swt takes from us, He does return it and gift it to us in a different form…and the best gift is nearness to Him. Mashah Allah your writings have inspiration for all muslims because it has the connectivity with Allah the Almighty.
MashaAllah beautiful article and beautiful words, i can totally relate to this, i feels as you have written this only for me as i have lost many things and people i loved dearly in life, this is exactly what i was searching for… JazakAllah… May Allah swt shower His mercy on you and your family..

June 3, at am. Muneera Iqbal. It was a question about loss, about disappointment. It was a question about being let down. A question about seeking something, and coming back empty handed. It was about what happens when you try to dig in concrete with your bare hands. Not only do you come back with nothing, you break your fingers in the process. And I learned this not by reading it, not by hearing it from a wise teacher. I learned it by trying it again, and again, and again. Ultimately the question was about the nature of the dunya, as a place of fleeting moments and temporarily attachments.
As a place where people are with you today and leave or die tomorrow. But this reality hurts our very being because it goes against our nature. We as human beings are made to seek love and strive for what is perfect and what is permanent. And so we create ageless creams and cosmetics surgery in a desperate attempt to hold on.
In a desperate attempt to mold this world, into what it is not and never be. It is because the definition of dunya as something temporary and imperfect, goes against everything we are made to yearn for. And we must also realize that nothing happens without a purpose, nothing. Not even broken hearts not even pain. Pain itself is a pointer to our attachments, that which makes us cry, that which causes us the most pain, is where our false attachments lie.
After years of falling into the same pattern of heartbreak and disappointment. I finally began to realize something profound. I had always thought that love of dunya meant being attached to material things, and I was not attached to material things. I was attached to people, I was attach to moments, I was attached to emotions. Looking back at the dream I had when I was 17, I wonder if that little girl was me. I wonder this because the answer that I gave her was a lesson I would need to spend the next painful years of my life learning.
In their darkest days you sent food, water and health care, warm clothes and fuel to stay warm. Happened to me too a few years back.. And although i knew and trusted Allah that He knows whats best for me, it still hurt soo much. But i realized that i gave that person a place in my heart that only Allah deserves and that i needed to fully submit my heart to Allah again.
Salaam, am going thru same situation gave too much to someone! Beautiful writing. I encounter similar attachment and thats the cause of the pain, frustration and sadness. Now, whenever i feel unease, i will ask myself what is my attachment. The best part, i quickly realize my mistake and remind Allah. Thanks sister. Will continue seek Allah love and fullfill my heart in Allah love. Continue writing sister.. Allah gives you wonderful expression. I love you only for the sake of Alalh.
Assalamu alaikum, it would be wonderful if you could translate and post it insha Allah. Please send me a copy of the translation at yasmin. Jazak Allahu khairan. Asalaamalaykum Sister.. May Allah reward you abundantly for all your efforts and create many many more sisters like you. Allahuakbar…its amaizing how Allah puts his gudance into the words of those around us…. And here he gave me the answer through your dream….
This will be a classical article inshallah. It is deep and beautifully written Jazaki Allahu Khairan. I can relate to this post, i was just like you and also learned through experience that we should only rely an put our full trust in Allah.
This world is not perfect, we will get hurt and get disappointments through life…. As salam aleykum sister, mashaAllah, it indeed is an eye-opener, jazzak Allahu kheiren, keep on writing, wa salam aleykum, ummu nuri. This is so beautiful…I am so much in love with my Lord …my existence ,my expectations ,my love is for him…so true we invest so much time ,our emotions ,our tears ,our efforts on temporary things n relationships of this world..
He will never leave us alone.. Subhan Allah. Very true…. MashAllah this is by far the best articles I have read so far! If we all all practice this, we will be successfull in this life and the hereafter!
I feel like this is message sent to me by Allah. I have to let all that go and put my whole trust in Allah. Yasmine thanks for your article.. Thanks sis for wonderful essay, even i realy needed to read something like that because i sometimes forget what all Allah have given us and even some harsh words from those i love in this dunya hurts me more because of my attachment with them.. This was an extremely emotional reading for me because its what i have been going through all my life and i didnt know why.
I dont have many friends and I kept blaming myself and who I was. My brother distancing himself from me has been the most painful thing I have experienced. He is my only oldest brother and I feel broken and unloved because he used to love me so much.
I suffer anxiety and blame myself for our bad relationship which leads me to guilt. Now I know not to place my happiness in people or anything in this dunya. Even Allah swt has said that even though you should look towards Him for guidance and faith you still have to work for what you want.
Why do you think Allah swt commanded that we pay Zakat? To provide for those less fortunate around us? Are we not here to help each other through the difficulties in this world and not to depend on being alone? Because we have too much of our own opinion and we have forgotten what Allah swt has taught us? If we never made mistakes, we would never turn to Him to repent, to confess, to learn. We are not the Prophets pbut before us, we are not perfect like they are, but we can strive to be, and Allah swt is most forgiving and most merciful.
Allah swt is always watching us, always there for us, and we need to always show our faith to Him and live through this trial of life proving to Him that we believe in Him, but we also have to learn to survive in this world and be good to those around us, that is our test, that is life.
She is saying to have something to do with them but not to get attached because eventually they will not be there anymore, the only thing that can provide is Allah and he will Always be there. May Allah guide us all and make us all sisters dwelling in paradise together Inshaallah Salaam Aleikum.
Assalam Hijabsstyles, by reading your response, I believe you did not fully digest what Yasmin said in this paragraph as follow She did not say we must live alone, isolate ourselves and be an outcast. Meaning to say, we are allowed to seek help from family, friends, spouse, etc.
Because Allah said to people help ur neighbour, help ur parents help ur poor relatives…if needed so its naturally come to someone mind expecting help or love from other. Allah said save your asset which i gave to you even if you die…. I also agree most of your points but as a human being some expectation come naturally. And lots of other things also happened, there is no place for us! We got shocked very much hurt!
What to do pls pls help me….. Anyway there is lots of thing going on…. You need to wear better hijab. I have seen you on youtube and if you are going to be talking in front of men and whoever you should cover more or make women only lectures. I see you are seeking knowledge in things so please let hijab be one of them.
May Allah guide you and reward you for your intentions and for your dowa effort. Salam Aleikum. Before you judge, please read the entire comment. Recently I feel religion appeals to those who are in pain, we are told god loves us to keep us loyal to a creator that allows our brothers and sisters to suffer so much all around the world on a daily basis in some horrific ways and still demand praise 5 times a day from every human.
I am not sure if this would help but it is said that Allah tests the ones which he loves more. Life in this world is unjust, but it is merely a test, the aakhirah is what we are here to strive for. And Allah does not burden one of his servants with more than he can bear. Those that are suffering the most are the most loved and the strongest. Hello I came across this website quite by accident.
This could be me. Then I scrolled down to see the comments and saw yours. I am Catholic, my husband and son are Muslim and I am trying to learn all I can about Islam and life in the hope of sorting out my own life. I think Islam is wonderful, it offers so much common sense. My marriage is in turmoil and I am struggling to be patient. God does help. Mankind is the creator of all the wrong on this planet, we have free will to do good or bad, we can spend money on missiles or developing medicines.
I think some people cope better with life than others, but after all I have read recently and from people I have spoken to, patience is the key. Yasmin is right, our emotions tell us how we are. When we are sad and crying our emotions are telling us to check what is wrong and do something about it.
We do tend to only turn to God when we are sad or something bad has happened. I think you are right in saying religion appeals to those in pain, because we need someone to help.
I certainly have. Catholics go to confession and you are given prayers to say and the priest can forgive you your sins. I wish you well, I really do. God bless you. Beautifully written and very enlightening article. Jazak Allah Khair. I have beneifted from reading this for sure. Thank you. JazakAllahu sister for such great words to hear during a hardship of someone leaving you..
Alhamdulilah all is from Allah.. Allah knows best. When you make a mistake, when you are let down, when you feel pain seek what is inside you. It is our own knowledge that we gain through observing, feeling, teaching, creating that should guide us through this life. In my opinion, you should not depend on money, but you need money in this world to survive, share and learn. The same counts for emotions, or love for people.
You should not base your life on living for certain emotions or people, but emotions or people should guide you to the true essence of life. And the true essence of life is becoming a part of Allah.
When we look up the names of Allah, we know that is everything that is beautiful and perfect. Therefore, everything needed in this dunya is temporary but needed. Therefore, even though I accept this life as a test, this life is as real as your heart can feel, eyes can see and brains can think. From what I know about the islam for me , heaven and hell are as true and real as day and night and even the Prophets cried, loved and worked for labour.
We are here to feel and experience day and night, before we become a part of something greater than us. I dont have words to describe my feeling on reading this!!! I could relate to it as if I was reading my own story… the heartbreak I have always faced due to over expectations from wrong forces….
Jazakillah Yasmin… an awesome blog!!! Salaams Sister, I just wanted to ask where do you draw the line as to where to stop being nice to people.
Where do you stop letting them take advantage of you? How can you not show yourself to be weak, as some people may interpret peacefulness as? As a very, very young child, I lost a parent. Life continued and I never knew until later that this event was always there even if I was unaware. Becoming aware did not ease the pain, but intensified it for now I dwelt upon what I did not have and would never have.
Wow Allah guided me to just what I needed to read. JazakAllah Khair dear sister for this beautiful article. I pray that Allah will help us all to reach these beautiful relizations. Your words hit me so hard I had to slow down whilst reading and breathe.
I always took pride in not being superficial, in not being materialistic all the while depending on people I loved to make me happy. And when they let me down or left me, it shook my world, the very ground i stood on.
There is a constant need to be loved, and from love I derive happiness. But it is a constant battle to realize that this love is to come from my relationship with Allah and not people. Alhumdulillah reading your words was like taking a good hard look at myself, one that I wasnt ready to take… this helps so much.
God bless you for being real. Spoke to my soul. And in answer to your question: if the little girl in the dream was you? That God may be with each of us. This was beautiful written. Salam Yasmin, I was just wondering what was the turning point in your life that allowed for the veil to be lifted from your eyes?
I am struggling to detach from the people that I love and I guess ultimately from my love of dunya despite trying everything that you have written about.
Please make dua for Allah to accept my sincere repentance and submission to Him, and inshaAllah for me to be invited to the House of Allah for Hajj one day.
