It hurts when the sacrifices you make go unnoticed. When you pour your heart into others—caring, giving, and putting their needs before yours—only to find yourself running on empty. It’s exhausting to keep going, to carry the weight of responsibility, to a point you have to let your dreams slip away.

And yet, you tell yourself: This is my duty. This is the right thing to do.

But in the silence of your own heart, a question lingers:

'When will it be my turn? To be seen? To be cared for? To chase my dreams?'

Some days, the weight feels unbearable. The worry of all you’ve lost, the ache of all you’ve given up. Other days, a fragile hope flickers—the hope that Allah SWT has not forgotten you, that He sees the sacrifices no one else does.

In this deeply personal and faith-centered journey, Ezzah Mahmud explores the struggles of sacrifice, the loneliness of being selfless, and the quiet resilience of those who give endlessly.

Through tawakkul, patience, and unwavering reliance on Al-Wakeel, this book is a reminder that no act of goodness goes unnoticed by Allah SWT—and that your turn, your healing, and your blessings will come in ways beyond what you ever imagined.

Upholding His name, Al-Wakeel, means believing that He is the Disposer of All Affairs, that it is within His ultimate knowledge and responsibility to take care of all the affairs of His Creation. And He is the One upon whom we should rely.
