Today's Note
Accepting the ups and downs of Iman
When I first embraced Islam, my Iman peaked…it felt like a heady romance. I was in love with my new-found faith, energised, and certain.
But when I returned to the UK, everything changed. Islam started to feel heavy. I felt lost, disconnected, and grieved the love I’d once felt.
Now, I’ve accepted that my Iman has its ups and downs. The beauty is in the daily work: the small steps, the compassion, the consistency.
