Dear Allah, Guide Me

A Letter From A Servant Lost In Decisions

Dear Allah,

I don’t know if this is a good idea.

I’m lost, I need Your Help.

My heart wants it, is yearning for it.

My mind tells me it's a good idea.

But I know,

my heart yearns for things not good for it,

and my mind is limited in knowledge.

So Ya Aleem (The Most Knowing),

If this thing I really want is good for me,

in this life and my hereafter,

Then Ya Fattah (The Opener) please open the doors,

and please shower it with barakah.

But if this this thing is not good for me,

and I know You know better than I will ever be able to

then please remove it from my heart, and take it far far away from me.

-from Your servant standing at a crossroad

A dua for a crossroad

Recently I’ve been faced with a lot of decision-making and I’ve been praying for guidance about what choice to make whenever I get a chance.
