T-minus 2

February 16th, 2004 by

We launch our new institution in two days.

And I’m exhausted, a fatigue that rains out of my hair, pours out of downcast fingers, seeps out of my aching shoulders.
And I’m pushed, a shove that settles in your back from running around too much, a cramp that is in your legs but you can’t stop moving, a new muscle pain that makes you wonder how exactly you used that muscle.

Move, like you’re never going to stop.
Pray, like you’re never going to again.

But it’s good tired.
It’s real good tired.
And I’m loving this.

    Insha’Allah, may your endeavor go well, may your intentions be pure, and may you all be blessed for the time and effort you’ve put into it.

    May we all have the strength, patience, and steady faith to educate others in a true Islamic fashion. May we all benefit from this sharing of wisdom, and may Allah guide us so that we teach only that which is true and based on His guidance. Ameen.

    MashAllah! I rarely have a “good tired” :)

    Ameen to Yasmine’s dua :)

    I love this:-

    “Move, like you’re never going to stop.
    Pray, like you’re never going to again.”

    JazakhAllah Khair for the reminder :)

    Little else feels better than the good kinda tired. That’s what we’re alive for.
