Listen, You Matter!

We are all creations of Allah, so how can one person be considered less valuable than another when both were formed by the same divine breath? Let’s look beyond external differences and connect with the inner spark of divinity that resides in each of us.

Just like snowflakes, we each have our own distinct shapes and purposes on Earth. Regardless of your path, the world relies on you. Life is like a puzzle, and without your presence, it would be incomplete. Now is your moment to embrace your full potential and become who you’ve always been meant to be, overcoming any fears that hold you back.

The Creator of the universe has intentionally chosen to create you from the light of His eternal love and mercy. Your value is based on the One whose breath gave you life. Allah loves you infinitely more than you can calculate. You are worthy. You matter. This entire world was created for you to unveil the treasure you already carry inside and it is through worship and submission to Allah that you might actualize this.

Do not forget that since Allah is independent of His creations, His qualities of love and mercy are unaffected by our actions. When we sin, Allah does not love us less, rather, it is our sins that veil us from being receptive to Allah’s eternal and infinite love. Allah’s love for us never changes, it is our experience of His love that changes.

You will be tempted, troubled, and tested with trials, but with Allah by your side you will be triumphant. As the prophet beautifully reminds us, “Be mindful of Allah, and He will take care of you. Be mindful of Allah, and you shall find Him at your side. If you ask, ask of Allah. If you seek help, seek help from Allah. Know that if the world were to gather together to benefit you, they would not be able to benefit you, except with that which Allah has already prescribed for you. And if the world were to gather together to harm you, they would not be able to harm you, except with that which Allah has prescribed for you. The pens have been lifted and the pages are dry”.

Allah has written a perfect love story between you and Him. Everything you face, every mountain you summit, every sea you cross, and every desert you walk through was put in front of you as a means for you to get to know yourself and your Lord. Every pleasure and pain, every success and failure, and every up and down is from Allah. Everything you witness is a calling for you to return to Him.

Allah has been waiting for you. He has been always right here, closer than your jugular vein, closer than the breath in your lungs, closer than the words on your tongue. Allah is here with you. Return to Him. You matter to Allah and He loves you unconditionally. You were created intentionally, with a divine purpose. So return to Your Lord, no matter how long you have been lost. No matter what you have done or said, Allah is waiting to embrace you with His forgiveness and love. Return to Him. Let Him love you, heal you, and remind you that you are worthy.

Let Him show you that you are more than enough. Return to Him and let Him part the clouds of your grief and show you the brilliant sun you carry deep inside. Let Him unveil the gems that are hidden within your soul. Return to Him and let Him pour peace into every crevice and crack of your heart. Every time you go astray, return to Him. Every time you fall short, return to Him. Allah is waiting for you. Return to His ocean of love and let Him embrace you with the healing waves of His endless mercy.
