You Are Strong.

Yesterday I was almost torn apart believing that I am not good enough. I felt weak, I felt that I lose up all my energy and my heart and soul weakens even more. I almost forget that I am a strong woman. Even though I am aware that I am a strong person, but my mind and sense couldn't prove me after. I know I've been through a lot, even worst things but why I couldn't get myself together?

I felt that I needed support. True, honest and not a bias one.

I posted a story on my Instagram for my close friends. I asked them to remind me why I'm a strong woman.

And one friend of mine said "You are given exactly what you need and what you can handle."

It came to a realization that I forget Allah's promise that was stated in the Qur'an,

"لَا يُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا"

Allah does not burden a soul of what it can bear.

We are tested based on our ability,

based on the things that we can handle

Indeed, all of us are strong.

It's whether you want to believe it or not.

It's either you let yourself be strong or let your heart manipulate yourself into becoming weak and unwilling to grow, learn from all the struggles you've been through.

One of the ways for Allah to show us His abundance of love is by testing His creations.

Indeed, everything hurts, never sweet by our sight but all these are to pull us closer to Allah.

Remind yourself.

Please remind yourself that you are capable of anything.

Regardless of the dark past you've went through, of all the failures and people around you that  demoralizes you, never forget to remind yourself that you are even stronger.

Explore that strength in you and you'll never know where it can lead you to.

Love,

Aiman.
