Hope in Belief: Finding Strength and Peace Through Faith
True belief is the antidote to sadness. At the end of the day, night will come, and the sellers will close their shops. They may take everything from the believer, but they cannot take away their hope. This Ummah cannot be allowed to fall into despair, for hope must remain alive. The first words we […]
Understand this: in this life, the destination is the road itself
This means you are not here to arrive at perfection, but to stay committed to the journey—constantly striving, growing, and improving. Your goal is not to outpace others but to outpace who you were yesterday. Did you move forward today, even a little? That’s the real measure of success. Allah did not create us all […]
Let’s Read Surah Kahf Today (Friday) — Deceptions
People today are deeply distracted by the glitter of the dunya—chasing wealth, fame, appearances, and fleeting pleasures—often at the expense of their faith, family, and purpose. This heedlessness reflects the very fitnah (trial) of Dajjal, who represents deception and the illusion of control and power. Surah Al-Kahf, which the Prophet ﷺ encouraged us to recite […]
“The Grass is Always Greener on the Other Side”
Allah says, “Beautified for people is the love of that which they desire—of women and sons, heaped-up sums of gold and silver, fine branded horses, and cattle and tilled land. That is the enjoyment of worldly life, but Allah has with Him the best return.” (Quran, Aal-‘Imran 3:14) This ayah reminds us that while the […]
Let’s Read Surah Kahf today (Friday) — True Success
The story of the man with two gardens in Surah Al-Kahf (18:32–44) teaches a profound lesson about the dangers of arrogance, attachment to worldly wealth, and forgetting the Source of all blessings. The man became boastful over his lush gardens and assumed his prosperity would never end, even doubting the Hour. In contrast, his companion […]
Who Do You Worship?
We were created for one purpose: to worship Allah — to submit our hearts, our actions, and our decisions entirely to Him. Worship is not limited to bowing and prostration; it is about obedience. When we obey anything without question — when we allow it to dictate our choices, shape our values, and take priority […]
Let’s Read Surah Kahf Today (Friday) — Our Breaths is an Amanah (Trust)
Every breath we take is an amanah (trust) from Allah. A breath spent in obedience to Him will lead to immense joy, while a breath taken in disobedience will result in deep regret and painful punishment. As for the breaths we waste in heedlessness, we will wish we had used them in acts of goodness. […]
Comprehensive Du’a
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ -رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهَا- أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -عَلَّمَهَا هَذَا اَلدُّعَاءَ: { اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ كُلِّهِ, عَاجِلِهِ وَآجِلِهِ, مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهُ وَمَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ, وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الشَّرِّ كُلِّهِ, عَاجِلِهِ وَآجِلِهِ, مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهُ وَمَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ, اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا سَأَلَكَ عَبْدُكَ […]
Uplifting the Heart: Choosing Positivity Through the Company We Keep
A positive mindset is not merely wishful thinking—it is a spiritual posture rooted in trust in Allah’s decree and mercy. Ibn Ata’illah reminds us in his Hikam: “Do not befriend someone whose state does not uplift you, and whose words do not lead you to Allah.” Surrounding ourselves with negative, pessimistic people clouds the heart […]
When Marriage Disrupts Family Peace, It Misses Its Purpose
In Surah Ar-Rum (30:21), Allah says, “And among His signs is that He created for you from yourselves spouses that you may find tranquility in them…” While this ayah is often interpreted to refer to emotional or physical intimacy between spouses, that understanding is too narrow. Tranquility (sakan) in marriage is meant to extend beyond […]
More Gratitude, Less Complaining
In the Quran, Allah says, “And few of My servants are truly grateful” (Surah Saba 34:13). This ayah reminds us that true gratitude (shukr) is a rare and elevated quality—not simply expressed through words, but manifested through consistent obedience, humility, and recognition of Allah’s countless favors. The lesson here is profound: while many people receive […]
