Sometimes people meet one moment of our story and decide they know the whole of us.

Sometimes people meet one moment of our story and decide they know the whole of us. They see the reaction, but not the wound. The silence, but not the struggle. The mistake, but not the intention. Al-Ḥakam reminds us that Allah sees the entire tapestry. So before you carry someone else's judgment into your heart, pause. What if the One who truly knows your story is the only Judge you need? Stay with this. Reflect on it. And come back whenever the weight of being misunderstood feels heavy.
