Human nature is weirdly strange. We overlook what is always there, until it is not.
Often, the more available you are—the more invisible you become. The more consistent you are—the more expected you become.
We have all lived this. We have all been on the receiving end of doing good yet getting overlooked. We also might have been at the other end too, where we are the ones overlooking.
But look closer at the Scale of the One who made you. ...
An interesting reflection I was reading was speaking about all the steps they walk in a day and what were the meaning behind them, and that thought process made me think about how many words I speak in a day and whether I remember them. on average a human says around 16,000 words in a day.
How many of these are Alhamdulillah? Subhan'Allah? or any other kind of Dhikr?
How many of those words are from your Qur'an recitation and how many are from...
I learned from my Ustadza that after crossing the Bridge of Sirat, I will find myself at a crucial point (Qintaar). What am I thinking? I have only a few deeds in my bag, and I am yearning to rush into Jannah. But there are guards standing there—they won’t let anyone in without their ticket.
To my surprise, here comes my .., A. I owe her. And then my cousin, my friend, my aunt, and so m...
Think of this ayah when you need motivation to do more dhikr, especially during the mundane parts of your day. Instead of going through the motions with your mind occupied with random thoughts which are of no benefit to you, why not use that time to remember Allah while concurrently adding good deeds to your scales? You'll save your brain from being polluted and stressed with random, meaningless thoughts and you'll bring peace to it with the reme...
A short verse yet motivational enough for us to be encouraged in doing a good deed. Everything, like literally, EVERYTHING we did or intent to do, will be countable, and His promise is definite. I always ask my students what good they did for that day. They would happily tell me their stories, and I would congratulate them just for being able to wake up early to go to school. It is actually a reminder for me to always be kind even it's just a sma...
Last evening’s recitation began with the earth itself. The ground beneath us—something so familiar that we rarely think about it—was suddenly no longer still. It shook. It brought out what it had been carrying. And then came a verse that stayed with me: ﴿يَوْمَئِذٍ تُحَدِّثُ أَخْبَارَهَا﴾ “That Day it will report its news.” تُحَدِّثُ (tuḥaddithu), from the r...
Bismillah... I was scrolling through the latest reflections today, reading a few... skipping a few. And if I'm being real, sometimes all it took was a couple of grammar mistakes or a sentence that didn't quite flow before my thumb quietly moved on. I didn't think much of it until this strange thought stopped me in my tracks. What if Yawm ad-Dīn, the Day when every hidden thing is brought into the light, turns everything upside down? What if that ...
