it wasn't for you after all.

If you're lost and alone or you're sinking like a stone, carry on.
- 19, Huda

إذا حارَ أمرُكَ في مَعْنَيَيْن *** ولم تدرِ فيما الخطا و الصواب
فخَالِفْ هَوَاكَ فإنَّ الهوَى *** يقودُ النفوسَ إلى ما يعاب

If you are caught in confusion between two matters,
And you don’t know what is right and what is wrong.
At that point, disobey your desires; for indeed desires,
Only lead the soul to what is blameworthy and wrong.

—Imam Shafi’i (rahimahullaah) [Diywan Ash Shafi’i] (via pearlsofislam)
