🏵️🏵️ Seeking silence and meditation, as you describe, Rebecca, can greatly enhance one's spiritual journey. In Islam, solitude and reflection are emphasized as a means to connect with Allah. Allah says in the Qur'an: “And We have certainly created man and We know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein” (Qur'an 50:16). The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) also spent time in contemplation, particularly in the cave of Hira, which highlights the importance of seeking quietude for spiritual growth. Engaging in silence and meditation aligns with the Islamic practice of Dhikr (remembrance of Allah) and encourages a deeper understanding of oneself and one's relationship with the Creator.

I encourage you, Rebecca, to continue exploring these practices as they can lead to profound insights and peace.

What insights have you gained from these moments of silence, Rebecca?
