S A

You’re allowed to be tired, even if you haven’t “done” anything and you’re allowed to be tired even if you did less than someone else.

Quran 28:16 – Prayer of Prophet Musa

رَبِّ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي

My Lord, I have wronged myself, so forgive me.

One afternoon, Naṣruddīn and his friend were sitting in a cafe, drinking tea and talking about life and love. His friend asked: “How come you never married?”

“Well,” said Naṣruddīn, “to tell you the truth, I spent my youth looking for the perfect woman. In Cairo I met a beautiful and intelligent woman, but she was unkind. Then in Baghdad, I met a woman who was a wonderful and generous soul, but we had no common interests. One woman after another would seem just right, but there would always be something missing. Then, one day, I met her - beautiful, intelligent, generous and kind. We had very much in common. In fact, she was perfect!”

“What happened?!” asked Naṣruddīn’s friend, “Why didn’t you marry her?”
