Now's as good a time as ever
to stop.
to take a moment and affirm “Alhamdulillah” for indeed all praise is due to Allah.
to count your blessings, renew your intentions, and face tomorrow’s adversities with courage and patience.
to relinquish all your anxieties because insha’Allah everything is going to be alright.
to remember that now’s as good a time as ever.
