Who Told You About Allah?

Who Told You About Allah?This episode is different. There are no points to get through. No list of things to fix. No pressure to leave with an action plan.This one is just a check in. Just me and you. A moment to sit, to think, and to actually feel what comes up when I ask you this question —Who told you about Allah?Not just the name. The version. The tone. The feeling you got the first time someone described Him to you. Were they warm? Were they fearful? Did they make you feel like Allah was someone you wanted to be close to — or someone you needed to be careful around?Because here is what I have come to understand. That first introduction shaped everything. The way you feel when you try to pray. The way you respond when things get hard. Whether the relationship with Allah feels like a home you can return to — or like a standard you are always falling short of. Whether you run toward Him or hold back. Whether closeness feels possible or just slightly out of reach, no matter how hard you try.Most of us were introduced to Allah by people who were still figuring Him out themselves. People who meant well and still passed on a version of Him that was incomplete. Heavy on the rules and light on the love. Full of what He would do if you got it wrong and quiet about who He actually is when you come to Him honestly, as you are.And nobody ever asked us to look at that. Nobody ever said — the introduction you received shaped your relationship. And if the introduction was incomplete, the relationship has been harder than it should have been. And that is not your fault.This episode is an invitation to go back to the beginning. To ask yourself honestly whether the version of Allah you were given helped you or left something missing. To think about what you would have wanted the introduction to sound like. And to consider — for maybe the first time — whether it is time to let Him introduce Himself.Because it is never too late for a reintroduction.And He has been waiting. Patiently. Lovingly. Without a single moment of impatience.Sit with this one. 🤍
