When Your Heart Feels Heavy

There are days when our hearts feel heavy… as it carries more weight than we can express in words.

Probably because we've been holding in too much. Worries, expectations, unspoken fears, or emotional exhaustion.

Emotional strain, responsibilities, and spiritual fatigue can weigh on us quietly, making it hard to find clarity or peace. It’s okay to feel this weight. Heaviness isn’t a sign of weakness.

You just need to give yourself the permission to pause, breathe, and notice how your heart is doing.

Acknowledging the feeling is the first step toward relief and calm.

What are those little practices that bring you comfort?

Is it reading the Qur’an, praying two raka’ats, moisturizing your tongue with dhikr, or reflecting in your journal?

Whatever yours might be,

these gentle rituals can create space for your heart to settle and for your spirit to feel nourished again.

I want you to always have it in mind that heaviness is not permanent.

With patience, intentional reflection, and small acts of care, your heart can rediscover ease, clarity, and connection to Allah.

Wassalam.
