When the heart is heavy

Do you ever feel like the mundane is just a little too much?

You wake up to find yourself going through the same actions, surrounded by the same familiar faces, and bothered by the same anxious thoughts.

There’s this heaviness in your heart, whispering, “Is this what my life is supposed to be?”

But what if I told you there’s a silver lining - a beautiful reminder from the One who created us all:
"Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.” - Qur’an 13:28

It’s in remembering Allah - the One and only Creator of all that exists - that our ordinary lives become something worth appreciating.

So before you move on with your day, pause for a moment and say “Alhamdulillah.” Not because everything is perfect - for perfection belongs to Allah and Allah alone - but because we have the honour of worshipping the One who gave us this beautiful life.

And with this reminder, I share with you a website I coded with the help of AI that encourages us to recite the daily adkhar by incorporating reciting the duas with storytelling. You can find the link here.
