Dear Heart





“Welcome to the Dunya (World) where you can’t be with everyone you love,


you can’t have everything you want & everything is temporary here. But be patient and strive for the Akhirah, where you can have anything that you desire and you can be with whoever you love and the best part is, everything is forever!” -Muslim youth


My dearest heart,
I, am sorry for all the pain I have caused you over the years.
Never have I ever felt the shame.
I covered it with sin over the years.
Never did I ever feel your agony and try to heal your wounds.
instead I made the misery worse.
Somtimes the hardest thing in life is knowing that “you” have pained and suffered your ownself.
I feel like I have wasted 20 years of nothing.
I let this dunya consume you my poor heart.
I got you attached to things like music, school, friends, and never did I ever realize that, this is what caused the anquish.
Burdened with despair longing to call out and yet I ignored you my dearest heart.
Allah gave me signs and told me “ beware watch out” but yet I neglected the fact that my own Rab was warning me.
So, because of this my heart began to give up! and soon after all that, I was left with disapointment.
Attachments of this dunya caused my heart to go astray from Allah, such a sad thing I know it still gets to me till this day.


But dont you worry my heart because Allah does forgive, Its just a moment in time when the heart will finally realize whats wrong and whats right.


-Fatimah Rafati
