Metropolitan Muslimah

In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.

“It is written.”

Words that saved me over and over again, ever since I finally decided to listen to those words by my manager when he told me for the second time.

Maybe what I’m really struggling with is the realisation that I am tougher and braver than I would give myself credit for.

And that is scary. To me, at least.

Today, a former teammate had to tell me that I should give myself more credit. I was in denial that I had won the Most Valuable Player award in my department. I just don’t think I measure up to anything in life.

Even the former MVP awardee of my department congratulated me and told me to believe in my victory. It was after all what the majority voted.

I truly hope that I can continue carrying the faith that the people around me have in me. It makes me realise that truly I am accountable for every mistake and goodness I do.

Nurul Huda, if you have not heard this yet, I love you for the person you are and the better person you will be.

It is okay to hurt as long as there is clarity in the reasons and there is clarity in your intention to move forward bravely in life.

May Allah guide us all.

And Allah is Ar-Raheem, The Most Merciful. – MM
