What am I?
What am I but just one soul, just one life, one set of experiences.
I am one person living within a bubble that is my existence, surrounded by billions of other solitary bubbles of existence.
I type this post from the confines of my bedroom, within my house, within my neighborhood, within my county, within my state.
The state of NJ, one of fifty other states, in one country that is part of one continent.
There are six other continents.
And these continents are surrounded by vast bodies of water all around.
All this makes up just one planet, Earth.
There are eight other recognized planets within this solar system.
And this...this universe? There are so many others, there is so much... space.
What am I?
A drop of water within an ocean?
Even smaller?
Sometimes the insignificance of my own existence scares me; it makes me realize how great His Majesty is. To create something as vast as the universe(es) and something as insignificant as me. And what, to give me the greatest blessing of all - to make me a witness to la ilaha illa Allah.
And yet. With all my flaws, with all my mistakes, with all my nothingness... I am an arrogant, sinful soul.
May Allah SWT forgive us all. Say ameen.
