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.

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

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...See more

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...See more

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 '...See more

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...See more

How do I know that my failure is because I am doing something wrong or because it is the will of Allah?
In the 10th-11th years of the prophecy, prophet Mohammad SAAW went through the toughest times of his life. He lost his uncle and his wife. He was isolated for 2-3 years, he got no more protection and no wife to support him and heal his scars. He was at risk and he had to find a place just to at least stay alive in.

Allah describes His book as, 'a Book of perfect consistency and repeated lessons—which causes the skin of those who fear their Lord to tremble.'
Do you ever read a surah and you can sense that another surah is echoed or reflected? For me it is not immediately obvious, but something, maybe a similar phrase or key word will tip me off to a pattern of similarity. It is possible that this similarity is just in my imagination - maybe these threads r...See more

Personal Reflection on Surah Taha
'This Surah held up a mirror I wasn’t ready for.'
There’s something uncomfortable about Surah Taha.
Not because it’s hard to understand
But because it’s hard to face.
I used to read the story of Musa (AS) like a bedtime tale. Familiar, safe.
He stood before Pharaoh. He parted the sea. He made history.
But I never noticed how human he was.
He was afraid.
He hesitated.
He told Allah straight up, 'I can’t do ...See more

The Pharaoh is one of the worst people to ever walk this Earth. A disbeliever with the haughtiness and arrogance to enslave, persecute, torture, and commit genocide of an entire nation. Few of mankind will ever approach his level of corruption. Still, Allah sent guidance to him. On top of that, Prophet Musa and Prophet Harun were instructed to approach him with respect, because even a tyrant with a devastating track record may have a change of he...See more
