Three Years from Now? Only Allah Knows…

What will your life be like in three years?

As I look ahead to the next three years, the simple truth is, only Allah knows what’s truly in store for me. I am reminded daily that He is the best of planners, and as my health isn’t quite where I’d want it to be, the possibility of not even being here is something I accept with humility. Life and its journey are uncertain, and I’m content knowing that whatever is to come is part of His greater plan.

But if the question is about my hopes or ambitions over the next three years, then Alhamdulilah, there are certainly things I’d love to achieve. For me, the focus now is on my children. I want to provide them with a bit more space, perhaps even move to a larger home where they can carve out their own places for independence and growth. I want them to feel rooted but also free to explore the world beyond our walls.

Insha’Allah, I dream of taking them to places that carry meaning—starting with Umrah, so they can experience the serenity and spirituality that only Mecca can offer. I’d also love for them to see Bangladesh, to walk the land that is part of their heritage and understand the backdrop of our family’s story. And beyond that, other places that will help them learn acceptance, communication, and the beauty of diverse cultures. It’s my wish that these experiences will leave lasting impressions, teaching them some good and helping them remember our moments together.

As for my own pursuits, I’m here, Alhamdulilah, continuing to write, sharing stories, photos, and thoughts with the world through my blog. And a bit further down the line, Insha’Allah, I’ll be releasing The Narratives. This book will carry pieces of my life, the lessons I’ve gathered, and my reflections on the world around us. Keep an eye out for it—it’s a free offering, just something from me to you.

So what will life look like in three years? Only Allah knows, but I am here, making plans, staying hopeful, and cherishing every moment He grants.
