Today's Note
From Allah or others’ expectations?
A lot of what we spend our energy thinking about comes from pressure from others’ expectations – not from Allah. Allah gave us inherent value. He didn’t ask us to be constantly doing, reaching higher, achieving to prove our worth. So if you’re currently feeling overwhelmed by your ‘must-do’ list, ask yourself…which of these things aligns with Allah’s expectations of me?
