We human beings are impatient specifically when we desire something. To clarify, we want everything to happen instantly when we wish for it or make dua for it. However, we fail to understand or acknowledge that every delay has a blessing in it. This made me think of the analogy below.
Parents carefully plan development activities for their children with the consideration of their age, strengths, weaknesses, and interests. This is because they wa...See more
Why should we fear anything on Earth when Allah is the creator of the heavens and the Earth and everything between them in the universe? Relinquish your fear into your Lord and replace it with courage, armed with yaqeen (certainty) of your Lord's power. Let your fear only reside in your taqwa (consciousness) of Allah.
Sometimes we say to ourselves that our best days are behind us, that we are too old to pursue a new objective. Whether it is changing careers, memorizing Quran, seeking knowledge, or even starting a family. If that happens to you, remember the supplication of Zakariya AS in his extremely old age when he asked Allah SWT for a child.
Had his hopes been placed in his own ability and circumstance, he might not have been so optimistic to make such a...See more

[Was reading surat Mariam and remembered this essay that I wrote more than 11 years ago entitled 'Be'. I've changed how some words are written but left it otherwise intact. Sharing it here as I guess it is one of my earliest reflections. Be warned it's quite wordy (1,600 words!), but otherwise enjoy and let me know what you think]

I just had to do another reflection on this verse..It is so deep and powerful, it reveals a different meaning each time you read it.
In here is a deep message of hope,from Allah's power and might you see how much hope it contains. Everything on the earth was created by him,he knows our needs,our desires, our next steps,our plans, our time on earth ,he knows eveything. Allah is so powerful that all he needs to say is Be and it is! Can you beat ...See more
We are used to getting eveything RIGHT NOW! Eveything has to happen ASAP ,fast or it's just not working..Smart businesses have keyed into our impatience and used it to fuel their businesses..We have fast cars,fast food,fast WIFI and endless list of *fasts* that we are plagued with. So much so that it's made us miss the little things,the simple but very important things...Once something doesn't happen right now, we barely value it. Isn't it then f...See more

The world may tell us a very logical story about how our life is going to be, but we must know and believe that The One who cured Prophet Ayub AS can cure us, The One who rescued Prophet Younus AS from darkness can also rescue us and The One who gave Prophet Zakariya AS a pious son in his old age can bring a revival for us in our circumstances.
When we say He is ذولجلال والاكرام then we must know that He Azzawajal would be generous with us. ...See more

'if what you are saying is true and the Prophet ﷺ has indeed said that he travelled from Makkah to Jerusalem and then into the heavens, all in one night, then I believe it. How is that such a big deal to believe in when I already believe his claims that he recieves revelation from the Lord of the Heavens and the Earth.'
