Write: let's empower each other

I think women in general feel the need to compare to other women. Sometimes it's not even jealousy, it could be downright hating yourself because you don't have certain things in your life. And that's toxic, I feel. When you go on social media and you see all these beautiful women, the things that they have achieved and that perfect life they lead, it's so easy to look down on yourself. I know because I've been there and even now, I catch myself doing that once in a while. 

So what do you do when that happens? You make du'a for them. Pray that they are happy with that life, praise Allah for their beauty and most importantly, if it's something that you want to achieve, pray to Allah for that. Maybe you want her career, or her self-esteem etc pray to Him. Never underestimate the power of du'a. Seriously. 

Ok but on a sidenote, just look at your own social media. What kind of posts do you have? What details in your life have you shared? It's quite selective, right? It's the same with everyone, even me. So why mull over things like that. I know, it's not that easy. However, comparisons like these may be a way for you to think bigger from another perspective. It could mean that you can change for the better, for the sake of Allah. 

Remember, women are meant to empower another. We go through so much on our daily lives (ladies, you know this). We really don't need to feel irrelevant and have so much hatred for others to burden our already heavy shoulders. Let go of that negative energy and insya Allah, you'll be a better person.

(A small thought after Fajr prayers, hope it benefits!)
