Assalamu Alaikum,

Walking on the path of Tasawwuf isn’t easy.

You will fall back many times.

You may find yourself committing sins again.

You will maybe think that your sheikh, the angels, the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), and even Allah (SWT) no longer love you. And you may begin to feel that you were never meant for this path. You may find yourself crying, asking Allah why your life feels so heavy.

But know this—

every fall is seen,

every tear is counted,

and every broken whisper still reaches the heavens.

The path was never meant for the perfect,

but for those who return—again and again—

with trembling hearts and امید (hope) still alive within them.

When you feel furthest,

you are often being drawn closer in ways you cannot yet understand.

When your soul aches,

it is being softened, refined, and prepared.

Do not measure your worth by how many times you fall,

but by how many times you turn back to Him.

For the One who called you to this path

knew every weakness you carry—

and still chose you.

So rise again,

even if your steps are small,

even if your القلب feels tired.

Because this path is not about never breaking—

it is about returning,

until returning becomes your nature,

and your heart finds its rest in Him.
