Subhanallahi wa bihamdi Subhanallahi alatheem! I read this verse and you know how Allah does, he makes it just for you! Allah is so good all the time! I recently lost my job and was feeling very unsettled and scared. But when I quickly turned to Allah and understand this by his decree and His plan, and all that He is doing is making room for better, I can't help but be joyful. Sure I still feel nervous and I still applied for food assistance a...

Looking at the sky, with its beautiful shades of light orange, grey, and blue, made me think:
The One who created this beautiful sky is also the One who created me.
The sky goes through different shades and changes, yet every stage has its own beauty. The One who brings such beauty to the sky can also beautify our hearts and our lives.
Sometimes our lives also go through different stages—some peaceful, some difficult, and some uncertain. But ju...

I am going through a phase of my life where, from the outside, I look completely fine, but from inside, I am going through a lot. No one knows, except Allah SWT, what I am feeling, but Subhanallah, the feeling that your Lord cares for you is what keeps me going, and that one day everything is going to be fine. There is no one that I could share anything with except Allah SWT.
So, if you are going through a similar phase, please
DON'T GIVE UP
KEE...

There is so much happening behind the scenes. Don't just sit there and make dua and think that it was just a formality or it "might" be accepted. Nothing was unheard; I repeat, nothing was unheard.
Walk with so much certainty and confidence in Allah's plan that no trial or difficulty can shake your ability to trust Allah's divine Hikmah.
The healing is in the trial. It's there.
It's always there.
Healing & ease are a byproduct of trials.

I would like to share a reflection from the book “Reclaim your heart” by Yasmin Mogahed. (It’s her reflection, not mine, but I really agree with it).
Growing up I think I understood this ayah wrongly.
I used to think it meant: after hardship comes ease. In other words, I thought life was made up of good times and bad times. After the bad times, come the good times. I thought this as if life was either all good or all bad. But that is not what t...

Habits that are commit to onwards from this learning I have done on anxiety is that I will never, even for a moment think I'm alone in this life, Allah is always close. I will call upon Allah with my everything even without words, I'll let my tears do the talking. One thing I've actually realized, just by contemplating on this life, is that we're passengers on this journey, and we have tests here to test our worthiness for Jannah. The struggles, ...

Some people find things placed easily on their plate, while others require more effort, more struggles, and more trials just to reach the same goal.
At times, it feels like my path carries more struggles than others. But I’ve realized — along with the struggles come miracles, mercies, and lessons that others may never experience.
Maybe Allah ﷻ wants me to walk a harder road, not to break me, but to bring me closer to Him, to show me that withou...

Qur’an 93 is like a gentle hand on the shoulder, a voice that knows your nights and your mornings. 'Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor does He detest you.' These words are not theory—they are lived truth.
I think of the desert, where Prophet Ibrahim left his wife Hajar and their baby Ismail with no water, no shade, no visible hope. To the human eye, it looked like abandonment. But Allah was there. He saw the mother’s frantic steps between Safa ...

There’s something about hardships…
They turn hearts into stone.
They dry up our blood.
They turn nights into nightmares soaked in worry.
And it begins to make sense why Allah repeated this verse—not once, but twice.
Because people who carry pain—the insecure, the anxious, the overthinkers, the self-doubters—
they need reassurance.
They need to be reminded:
Nothing is as impossible as it feels in the moment.
There is always a way through.
Ease ...

This is perhaps one of the most frightening verses I’ve come across. Why?
Because in this verse, Allah SWT isn’t addressing disbelievers or hypocrites — He’s speaking to us, to those who claim faith, yet place this world above Allah, His Messenger ﷺ, and the path of striving in His cause.
The end of this Ayat Allah mentions 'wait until i bring about my decision' it shakes the soul. Because everywhere else in the Qur'an, Allah mostly promised gla...
