It’s You VS You

Comparison truly is the thief of joy.

As believers, we are not supposed to become consumed with comparing our dunya to the next person’s dunya.

The Prophet ﷺ taught us to look towards those below us in worldly matters so that we recognise and honour the blessings Allah has already bestowed upon us.

But in matters of dīn, character, discipline, knowledge, and sincerity, it is encouraged to look towards those ahead of you and let it inspire you to strive for higher levels of khayr.

Your journey was written specifically for you.

Your rizq, your tests, your timeline, and your victories will not look identical to somebody else’s and that is from the wisdom of Allah.

So stop obsessing over another person’s chapter and focus on your own growth.

It is you versus you.

Pick the goal.

Build the habits.

Create systems that support khayr, discipline, and consistency.

Tie your camel, place your trust in Allah, and then take action.
