He is the One Who calls back your souls by night and knows what you do by day, then revives you daily to complete your appointed term. To Him is your ˹ultimate˺ return, then He will inform you of what you used to do.
And it is He who takes your souls by night and knows what you have committed by day. Then He revives you therein that a specified term may be fulfilled. Then to Him will be your return; then He will inform you about what you used to do. ~Qur'an:6:60
'As the human soul grows weary from the cumulative effects of sin and the exhaustion of daily life, it seeks solace in Allah's presence at night. The Prophet (peace be upon him) r...
This verse oscillates between fear and hope. On one hand, Allah has likened sleep to death, and awakening to life. Allah has also said, Whatever you do in the day (i.e., during life), Allah knows it all. From this perspective, This verse is, in fact, a rehearsal for the Day of Judgment, when human beings will be resurrected and their deeds will be laid bare before them.

So then it got me thinking. How should I focus to end my day?
I should work to end my day as how I’d like the end of my life to be. Because I would...
#MindfulFasting I'll admit that one thing I would like to work on is thinking more deeply about Quran, I try to make it a habit to read something everyday but often it becomes just that- reading not reflecting. Today, however I thought of something interesting when reading ayahs 59 and 60 of Al-An'am. In ayah 59, Allah mentions that He *Alone* has the keys to the unseen, no one knows them except Him. When you think of a key, whether it be for a...

We have reached Surah Al An'aam with our sisters, and glory be to Allah two ayats one after the other which makes the reader more cognizant of Allah, ayah 5...
