*Dunya*
One day, you will wake up and realise that the Dunya this temporary world was never meant to fill the emptiness you carry within. You will look around and notice how the things you once chased with such passion have lost their sweetness. The money that once made your heart race will no longer bring you peace. The house you dreamed of, no matter how grand or beautifully designed, will never feel like a home to your soul. The car you thought would define your success will become just another possession parked among many. And those relationships built on fleeting desires or disobedience to Allah they will only leave your heart more wounded, more restless, more hollow than before.
It is in that moment of stillness, when your soul begins to ache from the weight of the Dunya, that a realization will dawn upon you a truth that has been calling you all along. You will come to understand that nothing in this world was ever meant to satisfy the void inside you. Because that void was never meant for the world to fill; it was meant to draw you back to your Creator.
The love, the peace, the contentment you’ve been searching for in people, possessions, and status they can only be found in the remembrance of Allah. When you turn your heart back to Him, when you seek His mercy instead of worldly validation, when you start to live for the eternal instead of the temporary only then will your soul taste true tranquility.
So return to Him before that day arrives the day when your eyes open, but your time to act has passed. Don’t wait for the world to disappoint you completely before you discover the sweetness of surrender. For every heartbeat is an invitation, and every hardship is a reminder, that peace begins not in the Dunya, but with Allah.
