Episode 12: We Walk, Allah Runs

There’s this beautiful verse in the Hadith Qudsi narrated by Sahih al-Bukhari that recalls our beloved Prophet Muhammad, saw, telling us that Allah, swt, says, “Whomever comes to Me walking, I will come to them running.” This verse demonstrates Allah’s eagerness and desire to be close to you and I and how beautifully humbling and inspiring that is to know that your creator, the Most High, the One above all others, the One from which all power emanates wants you and specifically you near to them. It makes everyone and everything else fail in comparison. As if there is never a reason to pout or be sad if no one else wants you, because Allah, swt, WANTS you! In this episode, Maryam touches on how this hadith has and is impacting her as she navigates disappointments and heartaches in her own life.
