When Miracles Cease
Posted in Islam on October 30th, 2009when you’re in kindergarten, and you get “1+1=2″ correct, your teacher pats you on the head and exclaims, “good job!”
now you could defend a brilliant phd proposal and no one cares
many years ago, when i discovered the prayer of istekhaarah, it was amazing - jumping out of a plane with no parachute, certain god will catch you - and every time i did it, despite what the whole world said, how much they cautioned or augured ill for me, i witnessed miracles
i still pray istekhaarah, more even than i used to before, almost at ridiculously small steps i take in my life (due to fear, sorrow, and uncertainty)
and the miracles have stopped
but i still believe in it - in fact, moreso
i’m not in kindergarten anymore
