Profound Sign from Sun & Moon.

To see sun and moon at the same time is not something new. It happens in the early hours of day when the sun starts rising. The same moon which was ruling the night with its majestic beauty looks fade and feeble,not mesmerizing anymore.

What is the sign in it?

As I begin to think why Allah says there's sign in them.
NAK's brief explanation of surah Shams helped me understand better.

So previously, I shared some facts on the therapeutic effects of spending time being near trees and plants. And then, in my last reflection, I discussed the effects of 'earthing' or 'grounding' ourselves and the science behind it.


But, there is another very accessible and a powerful natural medicine which I should mention alongside all the above, which is, the sun.


You might already know that sunlight is a good source of vitamin D. As one stu...

What can i say about these infinitely beautiful ayat?
Allah, the most High, the Owner of everything that exists, the Truthful and Wise, Him! He is taking so many oaths!
Look at the One who is making these oaths, and look at the majesty of the things He is taking an oath by!

By the brilliant sun, when it is at its zenith, by the moon as it follows it, with its phases.
By the daytime, as it highlights the sun, and the night time, which completel...

Washing dishes can feel like a very mundane task. A task most of us have to do every day, multiple times a day.

Reflecting on and reciting this ayat while doing this daily chore may help make the task feel more meaningful, inshaAllah:

'Qad aflaha man zakaha'
'Successful indeed is the one who purifies their soul'

Think about the need for us to work to purify our souls/nafs in order to attain success just like the dishes need to be cleansed so ...

This Surah really hits home because it quietly turns the mirror toward me. In a world where it’s so easy to point fingers and blame circumstances, people, or timing for our failures, Surah Ash-Shams softly but firmly reminds me that the real struggle lies within my own soul. Allah has already given me the ability to recognize what’s right and what’s wrong. But when my ego flares up, or I’m triggered by anger or pride, this Surah almost whispers t...See more

Satu matahari. Satu bulan.
Masing-masing tunduk patuh pada segala perintah ALLAH SWT berabad-abad lamanya sejak mereka di ciptakan.
Masing-masing akan terus tunduk patuh segala perintah ALLAH SWT hingga Kiamat berlaku.

SubhanAllaah.

Apa pula cerita makhluk yang bernama Manusia?
Apa kita lebih hebat dari Matahari dan Bulan?
Adakah kita sudah hidup berabad-abad seperti dua makhluk hebat ini?
Adakah kita pasti akan hidup berabad-abad atau hingga K...
