Don’t get fixated on things going your way, Allah’s plan is always greater. People’s words may fade, but AllahSWT’s words never do. When you feel lost, turn to the Qur’an and tahajjud. He’s always there, always listening.

Ya Allah, grant us Jannah without reckoning, forgive our sins, and make us among those You are pleased with. Ameen.

To be tried is to be loved. And to be loved by Allah is the greatest honor💌

The Prophet ﷺ said: “Indeed, Allah tests those whom He loves.” (Sunan Ibn Majah 4031)

Why is it always me? Did someone forget to say Allahumma barik? Is this evil eye? Is Allah not pleased with me?

I used to wonder why things kept going wrong,why every prayer felt unanswered. But then I realized: every hardship was not a punishment, but an invitation. A sign that Allah sees me, loves me, and is calling me back to Him.

Because to be tried is to be loved. And there is no love greater than the love of Allah.

If tears could heal, I would shed an ocean. If words could turn back time, my mouth would run dry. But I am just a soul. And nothing more. So l pray to my Lord and hand Him my grief, my fear and my sorrow in my hands covered in hope. To Him, the one who can aid me.

Sa’ada’s substack ⤵️

The Prophet ﷺ said:

“Indeed, the eyes shed tears and the heart grieves, but we do not say except that which is pleasing to our Lord. And we are saddened by your departure, O Ibrahim.”

(Sahih al-Bukhari 1303)

If our hearts ache for those we have lost, let that longing push us to strive harder, by Allah’s mercy, may we be reunited in a place where grief does not exist, where every tear is replaced with eternal joy. insha Allah🤍🕊️

DISCLAIMER: We’re not scholars but seekers, learning and striving. No perfection here, just reflection. Let’s walk this path together, with sincerity as our guide and Allah as our destination.

The greatest loss isn’t wealth, status, or people, it’s when Allah turns away from you. When the doors of guidance close, when your du’as feel unheard, when your heart no longer trembles at His words…that is the deepest void a soul can experience.

Because what is left, when the One who owns everything no longer looks your way?

Allah,the vastness of His love and mercy, and the power of the power of the verse: “And when My servants ask you concerning Me, indeed I am near.” (Qur’an 2:186).

A reminder that no matter how far we’ve strayed, He is always waiting for us. This episode isn’t just a reminder:

it’s a call to embrace this Ramadan like it’s our last. Let this be the Ramadan that transforms you.

welcome to the ramadan series on echoes of faith podcast! and i’m your host bushra for today’s episode.

May Allah accept from you and mine🤍

Hadith on Sins Preventing Acceptance of Du’a

The Prophet ﷺ said:

“A man who has traveled far, his hair disheveled and covered with dust, raises his hands towards the sky (and prays): ‘O Lord! O Lord!’ But his food is unlawful, his drink is unlawful, his clothing is unlawful, and he has been nourished with the unlawful, so how can his supplication be accepted?”

Sahih Muslim 1015

DISCLAIMER DISCLAIMER

Death.

We grieve after a loss we’ve experienced—someone dear to us, a motherly figure for the Echoes of Faith Foundation.

It made us question:

How will we be remembered?

What legacy will we leave?

Will people speak about us the way we speak about her when we pass?

or will they say we chased worldly things (wa iyyazubillah)?

Please keep Iman’s mum, Bushra’s uncle, Zeezah’s grandma, and all the deceased in your duas.

If you’re grieving or have lost someone close to your heart, we want you to know that Allah loves you and them in sha Allah 🩷

May He forgive their shortcomings and grant them Jannah.

If you need to talk, our Instagram DMs are always open. We’re so thankful to Allah for blessing us with you girls and this beautiful community. May Allah reunite us all in Jannah. Ameen ❤️

Our girls please keep Making this dua
