Tahajjud and Trusting Allah’s Plan
I started feeling closer to Allah when I was at my lowest point and began praying Tahajjud almost every night for the last two months. Have I seen big miracles yet? Maybe not, but I truly believe in Allah’s perfect timing. He’s been showing me things in a way where a door isn’t fully shut, but it’s also not wide open. Like, once I missed university deadlines, and I prayed Tahajjud that night. When I checked my laptop, there were still some unis open, but later I got rejected. I tried again and found a course that fit my previous studies better, so I applied for that. Another time was about someone I care for deeply-my spouse. We recently stopped talking, and I’m making duaa to reconcile with him. I know I’m young and far from perfect, but I’ve always prayed with a clean heart, and it never felt like those prayers were wasted on him. I pray we both receive our rizq and can succeed together in this dunya and the akhirah. Always keep tawakkul that if it doesn’t work out, we’ll be rewarded in the next life, or even with something better.
