One of @medium ‘s writing prompts last week was: ‘Who owes you an apology?’ and it immediately got me thinking about the state of victimhood and how so many of us choose to remain in it. (You can DM me for the link to my response to the prompt.)

We hold on to past hurt and grievances; we allow bitterness and resentment to make a home in our hearts; we tell ourselves that the other person is in the wrong and we have no part to play.

But the honest truth is, no matter what has happened to us we always have a part to play: we always have a part to play in our own healing.

Holding on to the pain and remaining a victim is a choice. But healing is also a choice. Forgiveness is also a choice.

Holding on is only ever hurting us. But through forgiving, letting go, retaining the lessons and moving on in our lives, we are setting OURSELVES free - and who knows how many others, in the process.

Don’t forget what’s happened - but do forgive it.

Open up your heart and let the bitterness, hate and resentment spill out. Open up your heart and let light, love and forgiveness in.

Free yourself, my friend.

Your healing is in your hands. Your healing is only ever in YOUR hands. ✨💛🙏🏽 #SabahIsmail #ThisSoulJourney #WritersofInstagram #TodaysMeditation

✨NEW BLOG POST ✨ Before finally meeting Sheik

✨NEW BLOG POST ✨

Before finally meeting Sheikh Aly at the age of 24, I’d never really known much about the Sufi path.

Growing up in a family and community where religion was taught in a very one-dimensional, black-and-white, right-and-wrong way, I’d always had the impression that Sufism was for the ‘mad’ ones among us. What I’ve come to understand now, especially since the transition of Sheikh Aly, is that the Sufi way is one that embraces all facets of the human being. And that the Spiritual Master is the guide that lights the way and walks alongside you as you journey into the centre of your own Being, and towards God.

Sheikh Aly was someone I was never expecting to meet. Yet, without my conscious awareness, was someone that my heart was probably yearning to meet for my entire life.

Through Sheikh Aly, I met God properly for the first time. He took me into the heart of my faith and showed me that God is Love; only Love, the purest Love – a revelation for someone who was brought up to see God as a mean parental figure that punishes and rewards.

I still have such a long way to go, but Sheikh Aly was the one that lifted veils for me, opened my eyes and my heart, and helped me to see. I am so overwhelmingly grateful that my life led me to a true Spiritual Master and one that absolutely transformed my life beyond words.

It is easier to kill when those we kill are not human. It is easier to stand by and allow killings to happen, when it is happening to those who are not human. It is easier to not feel anything towards other human beings, when they are made out to not be human.
