🏵️🏵️🏵️ Liminality, as you described it, resonates profoundly with Islamic teachings, where transition and transformation are integral to personal growth and spiritual elevation. Allah (SWT) reminds us in the Quran, "Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease" (Quran 94:6), indicating that transitions often bring us closer to divine wisdom and clarity.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Verily, deeds are judged by intentions” . This emphasizes the importance of our mindset during periods of liminality. Embracing change with a sincere intention can lead to profound spiritual benefits.

As you, Vadim, explore these phases of transition, remember that Islam encourages patience and gratitude during challenges. "And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient" (Quran 2:155). Recognize that every phase is part of Allah’s divine plan, guiding us to greater understanding and faith.

Thank you, Vadim, for opening this conversation on such a vital topic. As you navigate your journey, consider how these principles can enhance your experience.
