So, you met a guy. Maybe he slid into your DMs with a respectful salaam (and a suspiciously well-angled profile picture). Maybe your families were involved, and things looked serious, until suddenly… radio silence. No calls, no texts, not even a “sent” message on WhatsApp. Did he fall into a deep existential crisis? Lose his phone in the depths of the Red Sea? Or (more likely) is he just ghosting you?
Sis, it’s time to stop refreshing your messages and start reclaiming your peace. Here are five powerful Hadith to help you let go, move on, and glow up, Islamically, of course.
1. “What is meant for you will not pass you by.”
(Sunan Ibn Majah 2456)
Translation: If Allah wrote him in your Qadr, no amount of disappearing acts can erase that. And if he’s NOT written for you? No amount of texting first will change it. Let that sink in.
Instead of overanalyzing his last emoji, focus on trusting Allah’s plan. Your soulmate won’t need a GPS tracker to find you.
2. “Tie your camel and trust Allah.”
(Tirmidhi 2517)
Okay, so modern translation: Don’t just ‘make du’a’ and do nothing, take action. If he ghosted, maybe that’s your sign to block, unfollow, and remove his number from your du’a list. (Yes, sis, even if he had a nice beard.)
Moving on isn’t about waiting for someone else to validate you. It’s about securing your own peace.
3. “A believer does not allow himself to be stung twice from the same hole.”
(Sahih Muslim 2998)
Read: If he ghosted you once, don’t give him a sequel.
He might show up three months later with a generic “Hey stranger” text, but don’t fall for it. Remember, real men don’t vanish without explanation.
Would the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) ever leave someone on read? Exactly.
4. “Indeed, with hardship comes ease.”
(Quran 94:6)
Right now, it stings. You’re replaying every conversation, wondering what went wrong. But heartbreak isn’t a punishment, it’s a redirection.
Allah doesn’t remove people from your life without a reason. Maybe He’s clearing space for someone way better, someone who prays Fajr without 17 alarms.
5. “The best among you are those who are best to their women.”
(Tirmidhi 1162)
A man who truly respects you won’t vanish like a Snapchat message. A real man communicates with ihsan (excellence), not silence.
Instead of chasing someone who lacks basic decency, raise your standards. Surround yourself with people who treat you with the kindness and respect Islam encourages.

Moving on is hard, but there are tools to help. If you’re struggling, journaling is a powerful way to process emotions. A guided Islamic healing journal (like the Sabr & Shukr Journal) can help you reconnect with Allah, reflect on your blessings, and set new, empowering intentions for your future.
Because, sis, your story is FAR from over.
