ryanbhilliard:
Bismiʾllah.
Every summer I pine for the sultry nights wherein Allah ﷻ pours His mercy and displays His majesty as He comes to the lowest Heaven seeking His servants.

For years, copying other people, I tried to know myself. From within, I couldn’t decide what to do. Unable to see, I heard my name being called. Then I walked outside. The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don’t go back to sleep. You must ask for what you really want. Don’t go back to sleep. People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch. The...
