California’s unfolding reality is a striking reflection of the wisdom found in Surah Al-Ankabut. 🌌📖

This Quranic chapter reminds us of the fleeting nature of worldly life and the enduring importance of faith and resilience. In a world full of challenges, these divine truths guide us toward deeper understanding and purpose.

I saw the signs, but I neglected the truth. I was dazed by the lights and all its fruits, but running after it for so long has dried up my roots.

Seeds don’t sprout and grow, where there’s darkness. My very own, heart has forgotten its own creator. So how can I ever feel complete happiness.

It’s become so dry that I feel no remorse, guilt or pain. For the actions I’ve made, took away those very privileges I took for granted. He gave them to me and he rightfully took them away too.

Sin after sin, I’ve caused corruption and now I must pay the price. A dark heart drowning in draught, cold like stone, desperately calling out to its maker every day and night.

Tonight I wake, in the middle of the night. Sleepless, searching for what I’ve lost and I pray to find it. because on this hot night, I am burning and I dare not imagine for what hell will be like. If one drop of tear like rain can pour down my face.
