Fajr Thoughts: Nearness to Him Part 26
He does not fall short.
In the name of Allah, the entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
ذٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ مَولَى الَّذينَ ءامَنوا وَأَنَّ الكٰفِرينَ لا مَولىٰ لَهُم
That is because Allah is the protector of those who have believed and because the disbelievers have no protector. [Surah Muhammad: 11]
There are moments in life when we feel utterly alone. Sometimes this is even while we are surrounded by people. We feel as if the weight of the world sits heavy on our chest, when the people we trusted fail us, when our strength is stretched so thin it feels like one more breath might break us.
Ya Mawla!
People love you, but they cannot shield you from every pain. They will stand with you, but they cannot walk every step of your path. They will try, but they will fall short and not because it is not love, but because they are human.
But HE does not fall short.
So, know that even in your most fragile moments, you are not alone.
And to be without Him?
SubhanAllah!
It is to be unprotected, vulnerable in ways the soul was never meant to be.
"Nothing is difficult if you seek it through your Lord, nothing is easy if you seek it through yourself." -- Ibn Atallah.
O Allah, You are our Mawla, help me against myself, draw me near to You so that I need no one else, and fill my heart with certainty that You have never, and will never, abandon me. let me always find you sufficient.
