People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.

A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master…

Hate no one, no matter how much they’ve wronged you, live humbly, no matter how wealthy you become, think positively, no matter how hard life is, give much, even if you’ve been given little, keep in touch with the ones who have forgotten you, and forgive who has wronged you, and do not stop praying for the best for those you love.
 -Ali (R.A)

How intensely you cling to things, is dependent on your internal and external state. A starving person clings to any sign of food. A prisoner sees any bond as—not just an object of love—but a refuge. To loosen the clinging and obsessive nature of the attachment, you must change the state. Be not starving or imprisoned. Feed and free the heart, and you will cure the attachment. There’s no other cure.

Its easy to give to those who give back. The real test of love is to give to those who can give nothing in return.

So you know how one of the attributes of God is Al Khaliq: “The Creator”. So we usually think of Him as the Creator of things. But He doesn’t just create *things*. He is the creator of situations also. That means that whatever situation you are in isn’t really ‘Real’ per say…it’s has just been *created* to test you. And the people involved are sort of like actors in a play that was created just to test you! So this means you should never get lost in the ‘play’. You just need to look *through* every *created* situation and find the test and lesson in it! Find Allah in it. Al Khaliq! Allah says in surat al Mulk: “[He] who *created* death and life in order to test you which of you are best in deeds.” (67:2) In surat Al Saffat, Allah says, “While Allah created you and that which you do?” (37:96)
