Surah Tahrim 66.

After Allah revealed my soul mission to me- I had spent the next few days working on it. Setting up my website, paying for the domain, setting up my blogs, etc.

At the same time, I was still living with my husband. We had become strangers sharing the same space.. our only conversations were about food or small, practical things. Beyond that, there was silence.

Days kept passing, and inside, I felt anxious. I knew I needed to start packing and go stay with my family, but I wasn’t ready yet. I already had the conversation with my husband weeks prior and I wanted to give him time to digest everything, and truthfully, I needed that time too.

Those weeks were emotionally very rough for me.

One morning, I woke up and gave myself more time. II decided I’d begin packing slowly and leave the following week. It would give me time to prepare, and to let my family know. I finally felt some peace about the plan.

But later that day, I took a nap and that's when Allah gave me my second instructional dream. I don't remember seeing anything in my dream, but I did get the message. It was to leave within two days.

Not only that- my dream changed into something else. I kept seeing visuals of "Tahrim" and "66".

I instantly woke up from my nap. I felt two things- that I had to pack my bags and leave within two days, not the following week. And that the phrase 'Tahrim' and '66' meant something.

I searched online and found Surah At-Tahrim (Chapter 66).

When I read it, something inside me stilled. In the beginning of Surah At-Tahrim, the Prophet ﷺ confides in his wife Hafsa and asks her to keep a private matter secret. But she shares it with Aisha, and no one else knew. No one told him, there were no witnesses, no hints. Yet Allah revealed to him that his private matter had been shared.

Reading that, I felt a clear message: something hidden is about to come to light. I didn’t know what exactly, but I kept it in mind as I went on with my day.

Not even an hour later, my phone rang- it was my cousin, panicking.

She told me that she had meant to text me about my separation, but by accident, she had sent the message to my brother. She was sure she’d typed my name; she even double-checked- but somehow, it went to him instead.

In that instant, everything clicked. This was what Allah had prepared me for. Since didn't have the courage to tell my family myself Allah orchestrated it in His own way.

I told my cousin to stop worrying and told her about the dream I had earlier. Once I explained my side, it started making sense to her. That's the first time ever that it hit her that something beyond us was happening- something only Allah could control.

That same day I started packing my stuff. Within forty-eight hours, I was ready to leave the house.
