Tired
February 2nd, 2004 bySometimes you can feel fate. Feel it shape your destiny. Feel it flow around you as you stand at crossroads. Like the wind. I must admit, I am nervous. Not nervous about writing here, mind you, but about tomorrow. Thursday I’ll stand at a crossroad. I can feel this subtleness. I have this nagging feeling. But I swear that I am placing my trust in Allah. Some would contend it’s all right to be afraid. Some would ask how could you not feel nervous. But I would like to think that there was a time when real believers would simply resign their fate to the hands of Allah. An act few of us are capable of now. How do you stand tall when changes are coming? How do you sleep surrounded by such complexity and uncertainty? How do you handle the inevitable fate? How do you stay determined in placing your trust in God? Tell me because I can feel the wind but I don’t want to be caught in a storm.

You think perhaps you are not already caught in a storm?
No need in fearing to ride the waves. You’ve been doing it all your life.
Surf’s up.

About your post….
You are stronger than you think you are.
If you truly do not want to be caught up in the storm, I believe you wont. But, sometimes we need to be caught in the midst of a tornado in order for things to be put into a life chaging perspective. Sometimes being caught in ‘a’ storm allows us to draw closer to a lifelong goal.
Hope all will go well inshAllah. Whatever is best for you…..

May Allah grant you the strength and courage to withstand the storm. Put your trust in Him, and let His wind blow you where it will. May we all be blessed with such a level of iman that we readily trust our fate in His hands. Ameen.
I hope Thursday goes well for you.

its submitting ourselves completely and having faith in Him in the midst of that storm…. that gives us the strength to be at peace and at rest within… so long as thats in place, it doesn’t matter how chaotic outside is, so long as you’re at rest within.
