Why does the heart feel lighter in Karbala?
You arrive carrying things no one knows about.
The duas you’ve been waiting on.
The grief you’ve learned to hide.
The weight of life.
The sins you wish you could undo.
Then you stand before Hussain…
And somehow, the heart knows it has found a place where it can put everything down.
Perhaps that is why we miss Karbala before we’ve even left.
Karbala — where tired hearts come to rest.
May Allah keep our hearts attached to Hussain and write our names among his visitors again and again.
السلام عليك يا أبا عبد الله
