Oh Allah… It was during the early stages of my life when I started facing what I perceived as setbacks and I claimed to be strong enough not to refer to anybody for support but I knocked at Your door and I found You. I stood before You exposing my vulnerability which I skillfully hid…
If every breath I took was to thank You, I would want to live eternally, my Lord. If each of my heart’s beats could say one thing and nothing else, It would be I love You Allah. If I yell and tell the whole world how much You’ve given me, I can never do You…
