You Ask, “ I ” Answer

A conversation between a tired soul and its Lord

By KomalPublished about a year ago • 3 min read

You: Why am I so tired, even when I’m doing everything RIGHT?

God: “Indeed, with hardship comes ease.” (Qur’an 94:6)

🌿 And My promise is not EMPTY — the storm always softens before the bloom.

~~~

You: Why does NO one understand what I’m going through?

God: “And We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein.” (Qur’an 50:16)

🌿 Even when no human hears, I am listening beneath your silence.

~~~

You: Why do I keep falling, again and again?

God: “Do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins.” (Qur’an 39:53)

🌿 You fall, but never beyond My reach. RETURN— I am still here.

~~~

You: Why does it feel like I’m ALONE in this world?

God: “Indeed, My Lord is near and responsive.” (Qur’an 11:61)

🌿 I don’t need an invitation — I dwell in your ACHE, in your BREATH, in your PAUSE.

~~~

You: Why is everything being taken AWAY from me?

God: “Perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you.” (Qur’an 2:216)

🌿 I do not empty your hands without preparing to fill them with BETTER.

~~~

You: What if I’m NOT strong enough to carry this?

God: “Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear.” (Qur’an 2:286)

🌿 What you carry now, I tailored for your becoming. You are already ENOUGH.

~~~

You: Why is my heart so heavy with sadness?

God: “Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.” (Qur’an 13:28)

🌿 I placed the KEY within you — speak My name, and your soul will RISE again.

~~~

You: What if I’ve strayed TOO far to come back?

God: “But whoever repents after his wrongdoing and reforms, indeed, Allah will turn to him in forgiveness.” (Qur’an 5:39)

🌿 You are never too far for Me — take ONE step, and I RUSH toward you.

~~~

You: Who will help me when no one else can?

God: “And rely upon Allah; and sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs.” (Qur’an 33:3)

🌿 When every door shuts, Mine stays WIDE open — I am enough for you. Always.

~~~

You: Will I ever be enough? Will I ever be loved completely?

God: “He loves them, and they love Him.” (Qur’an 5:54)

🌿 I do not love in HALVES — My love fills every crack you've ever hidden.

~~~

You: What if my prayers are too broken, too late?

God: “Call upon Me; I will respond to you.” (Qur’an 40:60)

🌿 Even your whisper counts. Even your SIGH is sacred when it's for Me.

~~~

You: Is there any HOPE left for someone like me?

God: “My mercy encompasses all things.” (Qur’an 7:156)

🌿 Not even your own doubts can outrun the MERCY I have written for you.

~~~

You: Can I be held, even when I don’t speak?

God: “He knows what is [in] the hearts.” (Qur’an 57:6)

🌿 I read your silence like scripture. You are NEVER hidden from Me.

~~~

You FALL silent.

You think the conversation is OVER.

But I am still HERE.

Because when the world grows loud,

and your soul grows tired,

and your heart forgets how to hope

I remind you:

✨🌷 You were never meant to carry this ALONE.

✨🌷 You were NEVER unloved, not even for a moment.

✨🌷 And I, your Lord, love you more than you can IMAGINE.
