“Aisha (ra) and the Prophet (saw) would use code language with each other denoting their love. She asked the Prophet (saw) how he would describe his love for her. The Prophet (saw) answered, saying: ‘Like a strong binding knot.’ The more you tug, the stronger it gets, in other words. Every so often Aisha (ra) would playfully ask, ‘How is the knot?’ The Prophet (saw) would answer, ‘As strong as the first day (you asked).’”— Yasmin Mogahed (via blvcknvy)

“I’ve never gotten anywhere in life by denying I’m struggling with something. So for me to take a step forward into the path of healing or renewal or joy or gratitude has always come through a darker period.

“I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you, and that’s why.”— John Steinbeck // Of Mice and Men
