Some wounds sit so deep within us that even we struggle to put them into words. They settle in the heart like an ache we’ve learned to carry, whispering doubts, replaying memories, weighing us down in ways we can’t explain.
There are hurts that no conversation can resolve, disappointments that no reassurance can erase, and longings that remain unmet no matter how much we try to move forward. And sometimes, we don’t even realise how much we’re holding until it overwhelms us in the quiet of the night.
But Allah knows, He sees the silent tears. He hears the prayers we are too tired to say. He understands every unspoken sorrow, every wound we’ve buried so deep that even we can’t reach it.
Sujood is more than just placing your forehead on the ground, it is a return, a surrender, a refuge. It is the moment where the soul unburdens itself completely, the place where pain dissolves into submission.
When your heart feels too heavy, when the weight of this world presses too hard, when you don’t know where else to go, go to sujood.
Don’t just whisper your requests, let yourself fall apart. Tell Allah about the grief that lingers…. the uncertainty that shakes your trust…the regrets you wish you could undo. Tell Him everything….the things you’re scared to admit, the emotions you try to suppress, the longings only He understands.
And when you rise from sujood, know that you are not the same person who went down.
Because every time you place your burdens before Him(SWT), He takes a piece of that weight from you. Every time you cry to Him, He replaces the pain with patience, the doubt with trust, the sadness with peace.
You don’t have to carry it all alone. Your Lord is waiting.
Let sujood be your safe place.
Let it be the moment you release everything you’ve been holding.
Let it be the beginning of your healing.
Love Always
Your Tranquility Partner ❣️
