This one is not a quick reflection. It's a slow, heavy reflection that I hope, sincerely, that I will never forget. It is about #goals and #consistency . But it also about #weakness and #submission .

'Whoever puts their trust in Allah, He is sufficient for them' (65:3)
This Quranic Maxim reminded me of ayahs 6 & 7 of Surah Al-Alaq:
'Most certainly, one exceeds all bounds once they think they are self-sufficient.'
The one who thinks they are self-sufficient will always be deficient!
This is why a difficulty which reminds us that we are not self-sufficient can be a great blessing when we have forgotten how much we depend upon Allah.

In the story of Musa (peace be upon him) and Firawn, the magic of Firawn's magicians were utterly knocked out and defeated - and it happened so only by the will of Allah. Theirs was only a trick.
All Musa had to do was to put his trust in his Lord and listen to His command (to throw down his staff) and then instantly the staff turned into a snake and devoured their slithering snake-imitating illusions.
Well, if we now internalize that story, ...See more

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Especially Merciful,
Mankind will invent all sorts of things, mankind will discover all sorts of things, people have written volumes of encyclopaedias, some people have such a capacity to store and memorise intricate details and are able to solve the most difficult maths and physics equations. Mankind will achieve some status and sometimes some limited power.

If we didn't know anything about astrophysics and we looked up at the night sky, we might assume the moon is glowing from within, just like the other small stars that glow at night. It would be hard to believe that it is reflecting light - particularly while it is surrounded by darkness.
Sometimes human beings, when surrounded by the darkness of misguidance, will assume the same about themselves. That every good thing, or every good quality they...See more

The Subtle sincere agent( Fitrah)
Our absolute reliance on Allah is the key to having our du'as answered. Though Allah, in His mercy, often overlooks our shortcomings, this reliance is precisely what all the prophets of Allah called for. Yet, a trait many of us consider positive—confidence in ourselves and our abilities—can, to a large extent, be dangerous. This self-reliance is, in fact, rooted in a satanic delusion. As the Quran warns in Sura...See more

I have always considered myself a wildly independent person; so these verses are truly humbling. The truth is I am in need all the time. Not only do I need Allah, but Allah has caused us to need each other.
If only I recognized in every moment how much I truly need and depend on Allah for literally everything... Perhaps that constant recognition could help prevent my daily transgressions.

Note, as an oral tradition, stories were very important to the Arab and the sahaba particularly enjoyed the sequential nature of Quranic stories.
The burning bush is often described as a miracle because the fire did not spread to other areas or burn the bush to ashes as would be expected. But one thing many people don't notice is how Allah particularly chose fire to be what brings Musa to the message. Musa is in need of fire (remember his duaa of...See more

The earth is like a womb to us. We think we are independent in sustaining ourselves while overburdening and draining her, untill we are born into to the next world.
He has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel
