Alhamdulillah! TabarakAllah My younger one captured this picture. “Alhamdulillah! We have a snail in our backyard.” And we both were like – MashaAllah, such a beautiful shell.
Then we both talked a bit about the shell, and we concluded that the shell here is not a burden on the back of snail, rather it’s a safe sanctuary for the snail.
SubhanAllah! We live in a world that mistakes withdrawal, stepping back for being weak. We as believers, should know when to step forward, and when to step back into our shells.
The snail never apologizes for going inward when it is required to do so. It does not explain itself to the rushing world. We live among people who confuse busyness with purpose, noise with importance, and constant visibility with strength.
Allah Al-Baseer sees you in your shell. He knows what you are protecting in there. Alhamdulillah, there are inspirations all around, even in the tiny little creatures around us 💚
