A Du'a for When You Feel Scattered and Broken

If your heart feels like it's in pieces, if distance and time have separated what you love, or if you're wondering what will remain of you when you're gone, follow along with this du'a:

Ya Hayiyy,

You are too shy to turn away these hands. How many times have I asked with nothing worthy in return, and yet still You answered in a way that left me in awe. When I stand before You ashamed, forgive me for my mountains of fault through a little of Your mercy, and give me more than I dare to ask because of Your generosity.

Ya Jaami',

Gather the pieces of my heart that the world has broken. Or perhaps I myself have broken. Unite what distance and time have separated. Bring together my past and my purpose, my loved ones and the reward You've promised, until we meet again under the shade of Your throne, complete.

Ya Waarith,

As everything returns to You, what fades for me remains preserved with You. Keep my deeds when I am gone and let them grow. And my legacy when I'm forgotten, so long as not by You. Inherit my soul with Your pleasure, and leave behind only what You'll love to return to me. Ameen.
