don’t grieve over what’s gone
Quran: “So that you do not grieve over what you missed.” (Al-Hadid: 23)
Quran: “So that you do not be sad over what escapes you or what happens to you.” (Ali Imran: 153)
The world will always move. Things will come, things will leave.
When your heart learns to stay light, loss can’t shake you too deep.
Let go gently, and make space for Allah to fill.
(from Syajaratul Ma’arif, Syaikh al-‘Izz bin Abdus Salam)
