During the guided tour of Topkapi Palace, I was fascinated by the magnificent architecture and the stories of the Ottoman rulers. The guide explained how these great rulers made strategic decisions, expanded their empire, governed vast territories and made considerable efforts to preserve their power and legacy. As I listened to the stories of successive rulers and their achievements, a profound realisation came to my mind.

Ya Rabb, You are my Lord, and I am Your slave, and I belong to You before I am anything else to anyone else. You created me when I was nothing. And it was You who revealed to the Messenger ﷺ the words:

The Questioner:
Who am I?
From where did I come?
And where am I going?
Islam:
You are not just matter.
Not just breath and bone.
Allah shaped you from clay (6:2)
and honored you with His Spirit (38:72).
You are a soul,
a servant,
a traveler on the path of return.
Secular Thought:
You are a child of time,
a spark of stardust,
a mind born from nature’s long experiment.
You are free to write yourself,
to shape identity,
to create mea...

The creation of humanity is truly a marvel. If one takes a moment to reflect with an open heart, it becomes clear how beautifully Allah has created us.

He endowed you with a perfect body and a soul of immense beauty. You have become a living wonder, a creati...
