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. Every breath should be directed toward seeking Him, Subhanahu wa Ta’ala, for all of creation points to Him.

We must train our hearts to recognize this reality so that we respond in a manner pleasing to Him. There is not a single breath we take except that Allah manifests His decree within us. May Allah allow us to respond to His blessings in every moment with gratitude and servitude. 

And as today is Friday, let us honor this blessed day by reciting Surah al-Kahf, seeking the light and protection it grants. May Allah forgive all our sins and shortcomings, bless us to use our time in His obedience, and make every breath a witness for us, not against us. Aameen.
