WHAT IF NOBODY IS COMING?
For years…
I waited.
For my parents to understand.
For my husband to change.
For my in-laws to care.
For my community to notice.
For a coach to rescue me.
For a lawyer to fix everything.
For my children to make life easier.
I kept waiting.
Nobody came.
At first…
it broke me.
I felt abandoned.
Used.
Forgotten.
I had poured years into everyone else’s life.
I assumed one day…
someone would pour into mine.
Then Allah taught me something I wish I’d learned decades earlier.
I wasn’t investing in people.
I was investing in approval.
Every sacrifice…
Every “yes”…
Every time I stayed quiet…
I was depositing into the People-Pleasing Account.
It never paid dividends.
Then one thought changed everything.
Nobody is coming.
But Allah is already here.
That wasn’t depressing.
It was liberating.
Because if nobody was coming…
I could stop waiting.
I could move.
I could choose.
I could build.
I could become responsible for the woman Allah created me to be.
So I made a list.
Everything that needed to change.
My health.
My exhausted body.
My thinking.
My fear.
My inability to speak.
My relationship with money.
My empty bank account.
My debt.
My habits.
My conversations.
My standards.
It was overwhelming.
So I stopped looking at the whole mountain.
And climbed one step.
Then another.
I invested in learning.
I hired coaches.
I developed skills.
I made difficult decisions.
I said no when I needed to.
I walked away from what was breaking me.
And Allah…
opened doors I couldn’t even see before.
Not because someone rescued me.
Because I finally stopped waiting to be rescued.
Allah says:
“Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is within themselves.”(Qur’an 13:11)
That ayah hits differently when you’ve lived it.
If you’re reading this…
maybe you’ve been waiting too.
Waiting for confidence.
Waiting for permission.
Waiting for the perfect time.
Waiting for someone to believe in you.
Maybe this Muharram…
Allah is asking you the same question He asked me.
What if nobody is coming?
What if…
after Allah,
it’s your move?
There are 2 places remaining in the Muharram Cohort.
If you’re ready to stop waiting…
