‘Put him into a chest, then put it into the river. The river will wash it ashore, and he will be taken by ˹Pharaoh,˺ an enemy of Mine and his.’ And I endeared you with love from Me ˹O Moses˺1 so that you would be brought up under My ˹watchful˺ Eye.

A fun day at the Huron River in Michigan could have turned into the saddest day in my life,
but Allah's protection was there, alhamdulillah.

So last month, we went on a canoeing trip with my family. the river had two sections: one of them was slow and safe, and there was a right turn where people can *choose* to continue to the wide open river.
We started in the slow and safe section of the river, my 10-year old daughter was ahead of us, and ...

I am fascinated by this ayah:

'But when they ˹finally˺ reached the point where the seas met, they forgot their fish, and it made its way into the sea, slipping away ˹wondrously˺.' 18:61

A dead fish came to life and made its way into the sea wonderously! It makes me think about how Musa (A) himself made his way into a body of water wonderously 2 times as well-

One time when he was a baby and was cast into the river by his mother, and another t...

Imagine being gifted with divine love in the midst of imminent danger, darknesses and fear ?

In this verse, God tells the mother of Musa to put him in a chest, which is dark, then put him in the river where it's also dark, then he will be captured by an enemy, indicating danger and fear.

Amidst all this uncertainty, *in the same verse*, God assures the mother of Musa by telling her He will cast His love upon Musa and He will be brought up und...

'But when you fear for him, put him into the river' 'The river will wash it ashore, and he will be taken by Pharaoh, an enemy of Mine and his'- Truly reflect on that for a second. Put him into the river?? A child. A newborn.  Oh okay, he'll be washed ashore, he must be safe then. No! After that, he'll be taken in by the very enemy you're trying to escape.  You have to cast yourself into the river like a newborn baby. You have to cast yourself in ...See more

Life Design is one of the themes that I stumbled upon recently, especially as a life coach who helps Muslims optimize decisions in their lives and position themselves in a manner that creates a bigger impact in this world and the next.

There's so many inspirations from the life of Prophet Musa (AS) on this, so many profound wisdoms, duas, inspirations, and frameworks that one can derive...

But this one is really my favorite moment: when Allah t...

For The One For The One Who raised me before my parents raised me,

For The One Who loved me before anyone saw me,

For The One Who protected me before I was born under layer upon layer,

For The One Who gave me a heart to feel love and happiness with,

A mind to think of what’s best for me and others,

Eyes to see the beauty of the sun, sky, mountains and oceans,

Ears to hear the sounds of seas, birds, rain, and laughter,

Your love freed me God,

To serve you,
To love you,
To serve humanity,
And to shine the light of your love to the world.

Thank you God for freeing me, for loving me, for giving me blessing after blessing , and for holding me through every...

Let's carefully read these beautiful verses and take a moment to reflect upon the many times Allah has shown us His favors over the years. Those situations that looked impossible and He helped us through, the situations when He blessed us with the support of another person right when we needed it, the times when He put our hearts at ease, the times He saved us from sorrow, and so much more. And He still continues to help us and answer our duas to...See more
