When you say Astaghfirullah. What really happens within you💖

Image
You know how sometimes life feels heavy like there’s a quiet weight on your chest you can’t name. Maybe it’s regret, guilt, worry, or just that feeling of being distant from peace. Now imagine something so simple, just a few words, whispered sincerely that can slowly lift that weight. That’s what Astaghfar does:  What Astaghfar/Astaghfirullah really means: I seek forgiveness from Allah. When you say “Astaghfirullah”, you’re saying, “O Allah, I stumble and I forget, but I always find my way back to You.

"Some people don't know what they have until it's gone." "But what about the ones who do know? The ones who never took a damn thing for granted? Who tried their hardest to hold on, yet could only look on helplessly while they lost the thing they loved the most. Isn't it so much worse for them?"

You are most powerful when you are most silent. People never expect silence. They expect words, motion, defense, offense, back and forth. They expect to leap into the fray. They are ready, fists up, words hanging leaping from their mouths. Silence? No.  ~Alison McGhee, All Rivers Flow To The Sea.
