'یقیناً تمہارا رب سب کچھ جاننے والا، حکمت والا ہے۔'

اللہ العلیم ہے اس کا علم ہمیشہ کامل ہوتا ہے۔** جب سب کچھ کھو جانے لگے تو امید پر قائم رہو، کیونکہ اللہ کے منصوبے ہمارے سمجھنے سے زیادہ خوبصورت ہیں کیونکہ اس کا علم کامل ہے۔ اس کے وقت پر بھروسہ کریں، اس کی حکمت پر یقین رکھیں کیونکہ وہ آپ کو آپ کی ذات سے زیادہ پیار کرتا ہے۔ اللہ (ص) جانتا ہے کہ آپ کا دل کیا چاہتا ہے۔ وہ آپ کے انتخاب کو بہتر جانتا ہے۔ وہ چاہتا ہے کہ آپ اپنے خوف کو دعا میں بدل دیں۔ ہر وہ چیز جو آپ کو ڈراتی ہے اس عظیم ترین کے ہاتھ میں ہے۔ تو ہاتھ اٹھائیں، اللہ جو ہمیں بغیر مانگے دیتا ہے جب ہم اس سے مانگیں گے تو ضرور دے گا۔ اس لیے اپنے حالات یا اپنی حدود کو بالکل نہ دیکھیں

شیطان ہمیشہ یہ چاہتا ہے کہ آپ پریشان رہیں۔ وہ آپ کو اس بات کی فکر میں ڈال دیتا ہے کہ کیا ہونے والا ہے تاکہ آپ کو اب سکون نہ ہو۔ وہ تمہیں اللہ تعالیٰ کی رحمت پر شک میں ڈال دیتا ہے۔ وہ آپ کو ناامید محسوس کرتا ہے۔ اس کی بات سننا بند کرو۔ اپنے رب اور آپ کے لیے اس کے منصوبوں پر توجہ دیں۔ ہمیشہ یاد رکھیں
'تم کبھی اکیلے نہیں ہوتے۔ آپ کی تنہائی کے دن بھی اللہ آپ کی شہ رگ سے بھی زیادہ قریب ہوتا ہے۔

آپ کی زندگی اللہ تعالٰی نے بہت خوبصورتی سے پلان کی ہے بس صفحات پلٹتے رہیں، چاہے آپ کا دن کتنا ہی اچھا یا مشکل کیوں نہ ہو۔ وہ ہمیشہ آپ کے لیے بہترین منصوبہ بندی کرتا ہے۔ یہ جان کر ٹھیک ہونا سیکھیں کہ سب کچھ اس طرح نہیں ہوگا جس طرح ہم چاہتے ہیں۔ یہ اسی طرح ہوگا جس طرح وہ چاہتا ہے، کیونکہ وہ ہمارے لیے اس سے زیادہ بہتر چاہتا ہے جتنا ہم اپنے لیے چاہتے ہیں🤍 ♥️🌸

بعض اوقات اپنے اہداف کے حصول میں تاخیر درحقیقت اللہ کی حکمت کا مظہر ہو سکتی ہے، تاکہ ہمیں ان کرداروں کے لیے مکمل طور پر تیار کر دیا جائے جو ہمیں ادا کرنا ہے۔ اگر آپ واقعی یقین رکھتے ہیں کہ اللہ سبحانہ وتعالی بہترین منصوبہ ساز ہے تو آپ کیوں پریشان ہیں؟ آپ اپنی زندگی کے بارے میں غیر محفوظ کیوں ہیں؟ کیا آپ کو یقین نہیں ہے کہ اللہ آپ سے محبت کرتا ہے؟ اور وہ آپ کے لیے صرف خیر چاہتا ہے۔

بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

This so happens when you choose a particular career option, or it could be anything, but you ended up doing something else. Ultimately, it decides on your skills and expertise. The positions offered in the job Market are based on our skills and abilities. I found this ayah so profound and inspirational. How Allah SWT chose Yusuf (A.S) and blessed him with a unique and startling Skill of interpreting a Dream!  

The Dream interpretation plays the major theme in the whole Surah, How interpreting people's dreams leads him from the darkest Jail to spotlight the Empire! Because Allah chose him from his descendants, his dream interpreted by his father came true when he interpreted other people's dreams because of it he became a problem solver in the community, Allah transformed Yusuf's (A.S) life from a gloomy well to a blooming flower who uphold the muddy and heavy rain in his life eventually he conquered the Victory from most Evil scenario, Allah SWT unfurled his truth in front of the world over the Revenge and plots. 

Alhamdulillah, whatever Skills we have, whether it is known to everyone or not, is one of the hidden blessings Chosen by Allah; indeed, Allah is all-knowing and Wise.

wa iyyak  Jazaak Allah khair for reading my reflection. 

If we look at story of Yousaf(A.S) psychologically, Yousaf(A.S) had to go through the worst of Trauma i.e Childhood Trauma. Imagine a 7-8 years old child being thrown in the middle of a well by his own brothers because of something he wasn’t even responsible yet he remained firm and didn’t lose hope in the mercy of Allah(S.W.T) because he knew that Allah has chosen him for a bigger purpose and Allah(S.W.T) would never let him down. 

It’s a lesson for us that no matter how dark life might get always remember Allah(S.W.T) is with us and he would never leave us alone and knowing that at the end of the tunnel there is light, even if we don’t see it. All we had to do is entrust our affairs to Allah and be content knowing that He will take care of us. Learn to become okay with knowing that not everything will happen the way we want it to. It’ll happen the way He wants it to, Because He wants the best for us more than we ever will want for us

Yaqoob(A.S) told his son Yusuf that Allah(S.W.T) will perfect his favours upon you. And the biggest favour that Allah(S.W.T) gave him was, Hidayah from such a young age. Everyone turns to Allah, consciously or subconsciously, seeking his favours but remaining obedient to Allah even when things are not going your way is actually a test from Allah. A calamity that comes to you and brings you closer to Allah is better than a 'favour' that causes you to forget the remembrance of Allah.' That is also why the straight path to Paradise is the greatest favour you can ask Allah.

Everytime your heart is hurting, just stop for a second, and think of Allah. Think of Allah's Mercy and Allah's Love. Remind yourself, who your Lord is. He is the same Lord who got Yousaf(A.S) from darkness of well to Kingdom of Egypt.

Certainly, your Lord is All-Knowing, All-Wise.'

Allah(S.W.T) is **العليم.His knowledge is always Perfect.** When everything seems lost, hold onto hope, for Allah’s plans are more beautiful than we can comprehend because his knowledge is perfect. Trust in His timing, believe in His wisdom because he loves you more than your own self. Allah(S.W.T) knows what your heart yearns for. He knows your choices better. He wants you to turn your fears into Du'a. Everything that scares you is in the hands of The Greatest. so raise your hands, Allah who Gives us without even asking will surely Give when we ask Him. So Don't look at your circumstances or your limitations at all♥️✨

Shaitan always wants you to worry. He makes you worry about what’s to come so you won’t be at ease now. He makes you doubt the Almighty’s Mercy. He makes you feel hopeless. Stop listening to him. Focus on your Lord and His plans for you.

Always Remember
'You are never alone. Even on your loneliest Day, Allah is closer to you than your jugular vein'

Your life is beautifully planned by Allāh ﷻ Just keep turning the pages, no matter how good or tough your day is. He always plans the best for you. Learn to become okay with knowing that not everything will happen the way we want it to. It’ll happen the way He wants it to, Because He wants the best for us more than we ever will want for us.

Sometimes delays in achieving our goals may actually be a manifestation of Allah’s wisdom, in order to makes us fully prepared for the roles we are destined to play. If you really believe that Allah swt is the best of planners then why are you worried? why are you insecure about your life? Dont you believe that Allah swt loves you? And All he wants for you is Khayr.

This is how your master will keep on choosing you so that he may fullfill his favour upon you.

Yusuf AS is told you will be chosen by Allah again and again for a bigger purpose.
So get ready for that as he is going to go through a lot of stuff in order to be able to get to where he was intended to be.
We learn here that our mindset on how we see our problem really matters.
The brothers of Yusuf as saw themselves as victims, even though they were shown the same amount of love as Yusuf. But because they saw themselves as victims, they could not see the love of his dad towards them.  This is what playing as victims does, it just blinds you, and you always see negatives in something.


The Quran exposes the victim mentality, and I was just mind blown by it!! 

Playing the victim means blaming others for your struggles, seeking sympathy, and crying for attention—even when others have nothing to do with your situation, and you have the power to improve it. It’s when people see themselves as powerless and wronged, instead of taking responsibility. 

This mindset is everywhere today—on social media, where people complain about likes and validation; at work and home, where blame replaces self-improvement; and in society, where groups fuel division instead of finding solutions. The result? More resentment. More weakness. More stagnation.

The Qur’an powerfully exposes this mindset in the story of Yusuf (AS). His brothers felt victimized, blamed Yusuf, and sought their father’s attention by acting like they were the ones wronged. But in reality, they became the oppressors. 

Meanwhile, Yusuf (AS) was truly wronged—betrayed, enslaved, and imprisoned. Yet, instead of blaming the world or crying for sympathy, he remained patient, took control, and trusted Allah. And in the end? Allah raised him to power. The lesson is clear: blaming others blinds you to your faults, but patience, faith, and resilience lead to success. 

So, are you stuck in blame like Yusuf’s brothers, or are you rising above like Yusuf (AS)? The Qur’an exposed this mindset 1,400 years ago. Just Mind. Blown!!

Jazaak Allah khair  exactly true your deep reflection show the picture of society .

Prophet Yaqub realized that God had chosen his son Yusuf and would grant him prophethood and the correct interpretation of dreams. This was also a kind of prayer from Prophet Yaqub to Allah for his son, which Allah fulfilled later in Prophet Yusuf's life. And It was also the fulfillment of Prophet Abraham's wish to see righteous leaders within his lineage. Indeed, Allah is the Accepter of good prayers, He knows everything, and He is the All-Wise

These two ayahs remind me of the importance of giving our children practical advice that warns against harm, but then following it up with words that will ease their hearts and remind them of Allah SWT.

I wonder how Yusuf (A) must have felt as a boy going to his father to share a vivid dream. (I know my 5 year old is super excited and enthusiastic when he shares his dreams with me, mashaAllah. I'm not sure how old Prophet Yusuf was at the time of this event.) I wonder how he must have felt when he heard his father give him a stern warning that would likely concern or worry any child or young adult. But Yaqub (A) followed it up with words of reassurance and comfort. After warning him about his brothers and shaytan in the first ayah, Yaqub (A) reminds him of Allah and his righteous forefathers in the next ayah.

This made me think about how it's important to give our children advice that will keep them safe - even if it may be a little scary for them to hear. But then to follow it up with a reminder of Allah's blessings and His attributes. And if we have to give them some type of warning regarding a relative, to make sure they know that they still come from a good family.

Does anyone else have any reflections on these 2 Ayahs? I'd love to hear them!

Allah has a unique and beautiful way of unfolding His plans. Despite our efforts and plans, we end up where He wants us to.

Surah Al Anfal (verse 30) states

'And Allah is the best of planners.'

One cannot understand the hidden hikmah in the time taken and the journey we have to go through. Allah eventually makes us end up reaching the point which was already destined for us.

Perhaps it is because the time taken enriches us with unmatched experiences and lessons we learn as we encounter ups and downs of life. Surely Allah knows best.

Just as we read the stories of Prophets, we learn how Allah laid out a plan for all of them.

For example, the story of Musa A.S. how Allah instructed his mother to drop him in the sea and how Musa A.S. reached Firaun and got raised in the household of the greatest and most powerful enemy.

Firaun who previously had all male infants killed for fear of being killed himself unexpectedly let infant Musa A.S. live?

It seems dreamy and far from reality, but it is part of Allah's scheme. When Musa A.S. raised by Firaun stood against him upon reaching adulthood, it was not difficult for Firaun to get Musa A.S killed in an instant with all the world's power and resources he had. But he couldn't because it was not part of Allah's plan.

Despite having such a big army and following, with so much wealth and worldly resources, how did Firaun's era end?

By being drowned in the sea which parted in the middle through which Musa A.S and his followers smoothly crossed?
Can we accept it to be real and acceptable? But all of this happened by the will of Al-Malik.

Allah showed this example to depict His supremacy, how He is able to do the unexpected when He plans. Yet we somehow unintentionally depend on our limited knowledge and worry if anything does not happen as we planned. We fear the loss because we are unable to comprehend the fact that everything in this world is held by Allah.

Surah Al-Baqarah (verse 155-157)

Verse 155:
'And surely, We will test you with a touch of fear and hunger, and loss of property, and lives, and fruits. But give good tidings to the patient'.

Verse 156:
'Those who, when disaster strikes them, say, 'Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him, we will return''.

Verse 157:
'Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy; and it is they who are the guided.'

Our free will and actions matter, no doubt, but there is a greater power foreseeing the entire universe. He has a huge army of angels, and Allah knows what other kinds of His creation are working for him 24/7. The plans He has and the benefits it entails for us is known by Allah All mighty only.

The greatest losses I had to bear in my life were detachments from my beloved father at a very early age, a difficult childhood while witnessing children of my age live to the fullest, the unexpected sudden death of my mother when I could hardly foresee it. Having to live far from my only sister, in whom I found peace after my parents.

While there was a time all of this made me bitter and resentful, Allah has now Alhamdulillah helped me understand how profound His plans are.

Every time I read any story of the Prophets, I end up gaining a new insight.

For example, Yousuf AS had to bear detachment from his beloved father at such an early age. He had to learn unfaithfulness from his most trusted brothers, which he could never even dream of. He had to spend his childhood in a foreign land, which was far from the kind of life he ever wished for. Furthermore, he had to spend most prime years of his adulthood in prison, locked up for a crime he did not even commit.

All of this when looked at in the face of it seems unfair and depressing. But Allah had a greater plan for Yousuf A.S. He eventually trained him and made his way to place him to become the advisor to the Egyptian King and manage the kingdom's treasuries. One cannot imagine a little boy from a poor tribe in another part of the world to eventually reach that status without Allah's help.

So next time any calamity hits, you sit back and grieve. Once settled instead of raging an internal war with Allah, ask for forgiveness and guidance. We do not know what wisdom is hidden in it for us.

May Allah guide us all and make it easier for us to conduct our affairs as He pleases.

BarakAllahu Feek!

An Islamic wisdom tells us 'No one experiencing sadness will read Surat Yusuf except that they will find relief'.  So why Surat Yusuf ?

Amidst all the trials, heartbreak, lies and struggles, Prophet Yusuf continuously and consistently is described as from the 'muhsineen' (those who embody moral excellence).

His brothers throwing him into a well, his separation from his father for decades, his selling into slavery and his persecution in prison for a crime he didn't commit didn't harden his heart or change his character.

He remained from the muhsineen, he forgave when he had a choice from a position of power, he saved a nation from hunger and after it all, he remembered that despite his great suffering, Allah was good to him.

In the face of grief, trials and struggle may we be gifted with the ability to show Ihsan. 

To keep showing up with our best when the world gives us its worst.

Because Allah, in His infinite generosity and grace, has always been good to us. 

And because He loves the muhsineen (those who engage in Ihsan). 

May we be of them.  Ameen.

No family is immune from complications, Allah will not give you or me a normal family. Wether you like it or not , there is gunna be some body who is trouble. That is just how Allah made us. 

And sometimes you will even wonder how are u two are related.. it could be like that, but because Allah decided that you had to be around certain people in your life and they had to be your trial and you had to be theirs.....and 
you are tied to them for life. 

Subhaan  Allah in the case of prophet Jacob and Yusuf, peace be upon them, on one hand and the brothers of Yusuf on the other .... like if you think about it , it will look like a mismatch right ? But its not , its a decree of Allah that they be family, that they be blood and even bonded to each other for better and worse . 

We .... have to just let go the idea of some kind of 'A life where the people in our lives non of them are going to be a source of difficulty' ..... 

May Allah always make it easy for us , give us wisdom and help us see these difficulties to be able to balance our lives right ...

A day with #NomanAliKhan #QALAM

Ameen. May Allah make it easy and source of strength to serve Allah
