Reflections on Surah Al-Qasas Ayah 10
واصبح فواد ام موسى فارغا ان كادت لتبدي به لولا ان ربطنا على قلبها لتكون من المومنين ١٠
وَأَصْبَحَ فُؤَادُ أُمِّ مُوسَىٰ فَـٰرِغًا ۖ إِن كَادَتْ لَتُبْدِى بِهِۦ لَوْلَآ أَن رَّبَطْنَا عَلَىٰ قَلْبِهَا لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ١٠

Bismillāh.
In the hustle of life, forgetting myself became increasingly common—
until I began to believe that Allah ﷻ only cared about good and bad deeds.
With that mindset locked in, I became like a hamster on a wheel:
constantly moving, yet going nowhere—
slowly exhausting myself,
pushing my feelings and emotions into a forgotten corner.
But there are moments in life
when emotions themselves become the doorway to Allah’s mercy.

Just as we shift the lens when taking a photograph to capture the perfect angle, we often forget to shift our perspective in life to view challenges in a more positive, productive way. Our minds can make worries and situations seem bigger or more difficult than they really are.

I ventured on the journey of motherhood about 8 months ago Alhumdulillah. Motherhood is an extremely emotional journey with a woman experiencing tons of different emotions at the same time. And as circumstances change, so do the emotions. I found so much comfort in this ayah and used it as my dua’a when I had to return back to work after my maternity leave was over. My heart was full of anxiety for weeks leading up to my first day back to work; t...

What I love so much about the Quran is that it doesn’t strip the emotions out of people, but magnifies them. Each and every one of was built with an internal mechanism that we can access our Creator with. Our emotions are a tool, an avenue, to Allah. The raw vulnerable emotions of prophets and the pious are highlighted. Prophet Musa was scared (20:67), Maryam peace be upon her wished she had died (19:23), Prophet Yaqoub was overwhelmed with inte...

We wonder sometimes how all these visibly corrupt and horrible people are surrounded with so much wealth, joy, and comfort. In this passage about some of the worst and most corrupt leaders of all time, the Quran points to all these wonderful things Firawn has -- power, influence, wealth, and now even a baby boy. Children are objectively blessings to those around them. Even the family of Firawn were sober enough to recognize the joy a child would ...

A mother’s love
A mother’s love is one of the greatest blessings which is often overlooked. We see this in the story of Musa (as) in Surah Qasas where Allah (swt) says:'And we were inspired to the mother of Musa.' Allah (swt) inspired the mother of Musa. To feed him.
And then Allah tells her, if you get scared. He gives her very specific instructions. He (swt) says feed him and then if you become fearful, if you become scared of the army comin...
