On Mercy:: Dua Kumayl


what weighs on your heart, which you fear the consequences of -- that abandonment to the cold & dark loneliness of doubt or disbelief - that isolation & lack of comfort, support & guidance which you need to progress -- that without which you fear withering death & suffering with a burning heart...

This
is known to Allah,
& leaving a believer so distressed
-- no matter their sins --
is not consistent with His mercy.

He is the One who quells the flames,
& makes them coolness & peace.

He is the One
Who would not leave -- by His Greatness & Mercy --
A believer, expectant & calling for Him.


What you fear
will not happen.

in His name - the Merciful, the Great.

subhanAllah...this is exactly what i needed to be reminded of at this moment. knee deep in despair and disappointment at not living up to my ideal of a believer i'd forgotten His mercy. jazakAllahu khair for the reminder.

we all have those moments, He loves us regardless -- and that is both our hope and means of return.

thank you for your visit.
