Trusting the signs

honestly today this really got me thinking today about how many signs we dismiss or excuse, instead of listening due to past conditioning.

The child who was told they were lazy may simply keep going for fear of being seen as lazy or a failure, when they should possibly just give up the current direction or change direction entirely. The abused may give too many chances through feelings of failure of guilt or simply not trusting their own judgement so they become easier to manipulate, instead of leaving at the first red flag.

The truth is in all of these situations we have simply lost touch with Allah, we have become so fearful of making a mistake that we keep going when in all honesty we should pause and turn to Allah knowing that in his signs we will find the right path for us.

We need to learn to trust ourselves again and listen to the signs all around us no matter how small, as they come from Allah.

Turn to the Quran

“And the Earth, We spread it out, and cast therein firmly-set mountains and We have made to grow therein of all beautiful kinds; giving insight and a reminder to every servant who turns [to Allah]” (Qur’an 50:7-8).
