والذين كذبوا باياتنا صم وبكم في الظلمات من يشا الله يضلله ومن يشا يجعله على صراط مستقيم

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا صُمٌّ وَبُكْمٌ فِى ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِ ۗ مَن يَشَإِ ٱللَّهُ يُضْلِلْهُ وَمَن يَشَأْ يَجْعَلْهُ عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ

While reciting this ayah, when I came to the part مَن يَّشَإِ اللّٰه يُضْلِلْهُ، ومَنْ يَّشَأْ يَجْعَلْهُ عَلَى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ, made me realise how fortune we are to be Muslims.

If Allah s.w.t wanted us to be astray, we would've been astray far away from his mercy and forgiveness.

Imagine being deprived of witnessing the month of Ramadhaan. And the opportunity to gain 83 years of 'IBAADAH through ليلة القدر.

We have a lot of things to be grateful for. Our conditions and circumstances could easily change in a blink of an eye.

Yet Allah s.w.t is still favouring us by keeping us on the صراط المستقيم.

And still giving us the opportunity to repent.

May Allah s.w.t give us all the strength and ability to end the month of Ramadhaan in the best way possible. In shaa Allāh, Ameen

Ameen, ya Rabb! Your reflection beautifully highlights the often-overlooked gift of *hidayah* (guidance). The verse truly humbles us—reminding us that being on the *ṣirāṭ al-mustaqīm* is not because of our efforts alone, but a mercy from Allah. SubhanAllah, the fact that we are witnessing Ramadan, with all its opportunities for forgiveness, is a sign of His immense favor upon us.

Your words are a heartfelt reminder to not take this blessing for granted. May Allah keep our hearts firm on His path and allow us to exit Ramadan spiritually elevated and completely forgiven. JazakAllahu khayran for sharing this timely and touching reminder.

As a human, I always prefer and desire perfection over imperfection. But the truth is, these imperfections if truly see, is perfect in the eyes of the believer. Past few days, my mom and I were discussing our friend, who has impaired eyes but can memorize Al-Quran well. I don't know about you, but I’m a visual learner, so I must see something to maximize my potential. I am amazed by the way Allah shows His Mercy and Power. If I were to think of it, when I choose to ignore or deny the fact that Allah has shown us, I am the one who’s impaired. Unable to see the truth is the biggest problem and flaw that should be fixed. I still remember an Ustaz once said Allah will guide those who are searching for the truth and Allah will not guide those who don't. Indeed, Allah knows best what is in their deepest heart. May Allah forgive our wrongdoing and guide us towards His Path.
