The Only Relationship That Never Ends

The Only Relationship That Never Ends

The longest and most faithful relationship we will ever have is with Allah—from the moment our souls testified, “Alastu bi Rabbikum?” أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ “Am I not your Lord? (Quran, 7:172) until we return to Him, and onward into eternity. Every other relationship in this world will one day change, weaken, or end, but our bond with Allah never fades. 

It is nurtured through the Qur’an, His living message to our hearts, and sustained through dhikr, the constant remembrance that keeps the soul awake and connected. 

When everything else falls away, it is this relationship—fed by His words and our remembrance—that remains forever.

Beautiful Patience

Beautiful Patience

Sabr isn’t just “waiting for things to get better”—it’s staying steady, calm, and connected to Allah even when life feels overwhelming. 

Real sabr means holding on to your faith and dignity when your heart is hurting. It’s the inner strength that keeps you from breaking on the inside when everything on the outside feels broken. 

This is the kind of patience we see in Sūrah Yūsuf with Prophet Ya‘qub. When he lost his beloved son, Yusuf, he didn’t turn bitter or angry—he said, “fa-ṣabrun jamīl” (beautiful patience), choosing to trust Allah with a pain no one else could understand.

And this was also the way of our Prophet ﷺ, whose entire life was filled with tests—mocked by his own people, boycotted, driven out of his home, losing his companions and his children, and facing constant danger. 

Yet he remained gentle, hopeful, forgiving, and firm in his mission. He never let hardship darken his heart. His patience was not weakness—it was strength born from complete trust in Allah.

Both prophets teach us that true sabr isn’t pretending we don’t hurt; it’s choosing to carry our pain with faith, dignity, and hope. It is believing that Allah sees every tear, hears every prayer, and will send relief at the perfect time.
