Our essence
Dear one, may I ask you a question? Do you know what it means to live with your essence?
If you’re not sure, let me share what Aqlamah believes it to mean.
Rediscovering the Essential
Often, we find ourselves swept away by external things. things that have nothing to do with who we truly are. We don’t know why, but it changes us, pulling us further from our natural selves. Perhaps it’s because this world moves so fast and demands so much from us that we rarely stop to think about what we truly want.
What does it mean to live with your essence?
When we don’t allow ourselves that moment to pause, we lose the chance to reconnect with our essence.
Unique
Living with your essence means returning to what makes you unique.
Truth
To the truth within your heart, and to the values that guide your life.
purpose
It’s about walking with purpose, honouring your identity, and living in harmony with your beliefs, values, and faith.
What makes up your identity?
Now you might be asking, “Okay, Aqlamah, but what is your essence? What are your values? What makes up your identity?"
Nature as a Refuge
Even though we live in a city, we can always try to escape to Allah’s creation, to appreciate every detail, and to clear our minds. It’s part of who we are.
Have you ever tried walking barefoot on the earth?
Allah
Allah is the most important part of our lives. We need a connection with Him to live with purpose and meaning. Without Allah, we are nothing.
Writing to Find Yourself
Subhan’Allah, the power of a pencil and paper is incredible. It’s through writing that we often find ourselves, express what’s within, and truly understand who we are.
Traditional
Being traditional isn’t about going backward, it’s about reclaiming what’s essential. Yes, that’s our motto. People often rush to be more “modern,” but in doing so, they forget what truly matters.
Have you noticed?
Leaving a Mark
And no, it’s not about being remembered by the world. It’s about leaving a lasting impact on your family and loved ones passing down your way of life so it endures through generations.
That’s something I would love.
Timelessness
True beauty and meaning transcend time. We value the things that endure, unaffected by trends or passing moments.
