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...See more
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...See more
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.

I recently started to wear a device that counts the number of steps I take. It's been surprising to see the numbers at the end of the day. It's like having the ability to see one of my actions being accounted for and it makes me wonder, 'What was I doing taking those 10,000, 12,000, 13,000 steps?' Where was I going? What was the purpose behind it? What were my intentions when I was doing all that walking?' And I draw a bit of blank when I think a...See more
Every moment is a seed—either planted for my akhirah or wasted in heedlessness. When I pause and reflect, I ask myself: Have I been using my time to seek Allah’s pleasure, or have I let precious moments slip away without meaning?
Good deeds don’t have to be grand; they are woven into the small, everyday choices I make. The way I speak to my parents, my spouse, or my children—do I speak with kindness, patience, and love? Do I greet t...See more
