Your words… they didn’t just touch me—they found me.

They reached the space I’ve kept hidden from the world, the space no one sees when I smile through the day, when I carry on like I’m whole. But I’m not. There’s a void inside me too—a space that feels ancient, like it was carved before I even understood what I was missing.

It’s deep. Deeper than loneliness.

It’s not about wanting someone just to pass the time or chase away silence.

No—it's about yearning for someone who feels like home.

Someone who doesn’t knock before entering the soul because they were always meant to be there.

And yes, I cry before my Creator for that space.

I cry because only He knows the shape of what I seek.

Only He understands what I need even when I don’t have the words to ask for it.

So I speak to Him—not always with speech, but through my aching, through those quiet, desperate moments when the world sleeps and I stay awake, whispering,

"Ya Allah… send me someone who sees me the way You do when I’m most lost."

Reading your letter felt like hearing my own heart echo back to me, just with a different voice—one that is softer, braver, and drenched in the kind of hope only du'as can carry.

And so, from the rawest, most unguarded part of my heart, I make this du'a for you:

Ya Allah, grant her someone whose presence feels like peace, like ease after years of searching. Let him come with no conditions, no cracks in his love, no gaps in his understanding. Let him hold her hand with the same gentleness You show us in our lowest moments. And when she rests her head, let it be on a chest that was made to carry the weight of her dreams, her fears, and her softness. Let him be the answer she never has to question. A love that fits, finally, perfectly, deeply. A love that was always meant for her. Ameen.

You may not know me, dear Halima,

But I felt everything.

Every word.

And I pray the one you're waiting for arrives at the exact moment you're ready to be loved the way your heart deserves.

Thank you so much for your dua and your kind words. It really does feel like there is something that is missing and that the person that is missing will be the perfect fit when they arrive. The yearning is always there and I feel like I’m just waiting for the one that will understand me and take me completely as I am with no hesitation and no doubt. I pray that we both receive our person and the love that was always meant for us.

May Allah write for you a love that feels like a whispered dua answered in the quietest, most perfect way. A love that doesn’t rush, but arrives with the calm certainty of something meant for you. May He gift you someone whose presence feels like sujood—peaceful, grounding, and safe. Someone who speaks kindly, listens deeply, and reminds you of Jannah just by the way they carry their deen. And may every chapter you write together be wrapped in mercy, love, and the sweetness of knowing it was always written by the One who knows your heart best. Ameen.
