Reflections on Surah Taha Ayah 40

20:40
اذ تمشي اختك فتقول هل ادلكم على من يكفله فرجعناك الى امك كي تقر عينها ولا تحزن وقتلت نفسا فنجيناك من الغم وفتناك فتونا فلبثت سنين في اهل مدين ثم جيت على قدر يا موسى ٤٠
إِذْ تَمْشِىٓ أُخْتُكَ فَتَقُولُ هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن يَكْفُلُهُۥ ۖ فَرَجَعْنَـٰكَ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّكَ كَىْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَلَا تَحْزَنَ ۚ وَقَتَلْتَ نَفْسًۭا فَنَجَّيْنَـٰكَ مِنَ ٱلْغَمِّ وَفَتَنَّـٰكَ فُتُونًۭا ۚ فَلَبِثْتَ سِنِينَ فِىٓ أَهْلِ مَدْيَنَ ثُمَّ جِئْتَ عَلَىٰ قَدَرٍۢ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ ٤٠

˹Remember˺ when your sister came along and proposed, ‘Shall I direct you to someone who will nurse him?’1 So We reunited you with your mother so that her heart would be put at ease, and she would not grieve. ˹Later˺ you killed a man ˹by mistake˺, but We saved you from sorrow, as well as other tests We put you through. Then you stayed for a number of years among the people of Midian. Then you came here as pre-destined, O  Moses!

God, The Creator and Sustainer cares about the heart of women and highlights it in divine revelation for all of time and for all of humanity.

The Quran shows us how God, in His Infinite Compassion and Love comforts grieving women and puts their heart at ease.

So even when others do not grasp or understand, know that your heart is precious to Al-Wadood, The All Loving.

Your sadness, your grief, your struggle matters to Him.

God sees, hears a...

There's a connection between Yunus A.S and Musa A.S and in it, may be a lesson for us

That only two times in the Quran, Allah swt says

و نجيناك من الغم
فنجيناه من الغم

We saved you and we saved him from distress specifically the word ghamm is for these two noble prophets may peace be upon them.

Yunus A.S made a mistake and when he realized it at bottom of the belly of the whale , he felt this feeling of distress and guilt and so he calle...

I was always fascinated by Musa A.S mentioning that my Lord does not forget. Like why would this be something Musa A.S mentions infront of the pharaoh.

I reflected on this ayah two years ago.

The next time you recite Surah Al Taha in your Salah especially, or outside of it. Imagine yourself to be Musa ( Alayhi Assalaam) and replace your life story with his life story,
Outside of Salah pretend to have that conversation and reflect and see how your Lord Has favored you and chosen you, and shaped you for who you are and then take on life with in mind.
I speak to myself with this reflection. May Allah Grant Wisdom to appreciate His favor...

Reflections on these Ayaat:

1) Trials will shape you

For me, Ayahs 25 - 41 are a heart-to-heart between Allah SWT and Musa (AS). After giving Musa (AS) some firm instructions and giving him his first mission as a Messenger, Musa (AS) makes a heartfelt du'a to Allah SWT laying out where he feels he will need Allah's (SWT) support. Allah SWT responds by telling him that not only is his prayer is answered, but Allah SWT has been keeping a close '...

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...

Right now everyone is confused about themselves and their place since it’s so hard to understand what is happening and so fast. Whenever in my life I feel like my life is tumbling out of my hands, I remind myself my life wasn’t in my hands in the first place. I always listen to Surah Taha because I truly believe it’s a surah Allah (SWT) has given to as a mercy just because of how it comforts the hearts at times of unease. It took one conversation...

Some things that help in dawah deduced from these verses , though there are more to list:

1. Having an expanded chest (being stress free) is best for giving dawah to be able to focus on the listener and not the thing causing you stress.
2. Speaking clearly to be able to beautify the good with your speech, and vilify the evil is an asset for the da3i
3.Having a teammate in dawah can cause for more strength and success in your mission
4. Constantl...
