A Soul’s Plea: A Letter to Allah as Ramadan Ends

As the days of Ramadan draw to a close, I find myself pausing, reflecting on where I stand in this moment. This sacred month has been a time of peeling back the distractions of life, of drawing nearer to You, of recognizing the depths of my own heart. And now, as the final moments approach, I turn to You—my refuge, my guide, my beloved Allah.

Ya Rab,

I am deeply aware that all I have is today. You alone know whether I will witness another sunrise, whether my soul will be granted another chance to worship You in this world. Grant me the wisdom to cherish each day as it comes, to embrace it with gratitude, to use it in a way that pleases You. If my time should come, take me when my heart is pure, when my deeds are at their best, when my soul is closest to You.

Ya Allah, forgive me. For the times I let my mind drift away from You, for the moments I allowed this temporary world to distract me from what truly matters. Forgive me when I forget, when I falter, when I fall short of the devotion You deserve. When I stray, bring me back. When I hesitate, strengthen me. And when I feel lost and uncertain, wrap me in Your mercy and guide me back with clarity and grace.

I long to be among those dearest to You. To have a heart filled with unwavering trust that You are always near, always watching, always leading me toward what is best. I see so clearly the shifts I need to make, the presence I need to cultivate, the sincerity I must deepen. Ya Wadud, Ya Rahman, Ya Raheem—fill me with a love so pure that my greatest concern is the state of my soul and my closeness to You.

Let my worship be more than routine—let it be the truest expression of my devotion. Let my prayers be more than words—let them be the outpouring of a heart that longs for You. Let me bow before You not out of habit, but out of love, out of recognition that there is no greater purpose in my existence than to seek You. And when I find myself at a loss, unsure of how to move forward, uncertain of what needs to change—show me the way. Open my eyes to what must be refined, to what I must let go of, to what will bring me nearer to You.

I know this path will never be smooth. There will be obstacles, tests, moments of struggle. But in every hardship, in every moment of doubt, remind me that You are always with me. Let me hold onto that truth as my greatest strength.

For as long as I live, as long as I breathe, as long as I am gifted with time—grant me deep, unwavering awareness of You. Let my life be a reflection of my devotion to You, my days a testament to Your presence, my heart a home for Your love.

Ya Rab, let me live for You. Let me return to You in the best of states. Let me belong to You, in this life and the next.

Ameen.
