امن يهديكم في ظلمات البر والبحر ومن يرسل الرياح بشرا بين يدي رحمته االه مع الله تعالى الله عما يشركون

أَمَّن يَهْدِيكُمْ فِى ظُلُمَـٰتِ ٱلْبَرِّ وَٱلْبَحْرِ وَمَن يُرْسِلُ ٱلرِّيَـٰحَ بُشْرًۢا بَيْنَ يَدَىْ رَحْمَتِهِۦٓ ۗ أَءِلَـٰهٌ مَّعَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ تَعَـٰلَى ٱللَّهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

SUBHANALLAH.......ALLAH is Al Jameel.......the most beautiful....the ultimate beauty which we cannot comprehend.......
    
How beautifully Allah removes the dark black clouds which we fear or that we dont find beautiful.Allah is giving us rain from these clouds.Only Allah can bring such a beauty.

Along with the lightning and thundering,Allah is pouring us with his immense mercy.We humans experience this lightning and thundering of trials in our life,but out of Allahs mercy,Allah will cleanse us and bring TRUE beauty to our life.

It is Allahs great blessing to strike us with lightning so as to open our heart,and to pour his mercy and noor to make our life truely peaceful and beautiful.

Ya Hayyu ya Qayyum, bi rahmatika astaghith, aslih li shani kullahu, wa la takilni ila nafsi tarfat ‘ayn (O Ever-Living, O Self-Sustaining and All-Sustaining, by Your mercy I seek help; rectify all my affairs and do not leave me in charge of my affairs even for the blink of an eye).

Those moments of solitude,
Those instances of peace,

When you feel at home with yourself,
When you feel at home with God,

Even amidst pain and uncertainty,
Even amidst grief and loss,

Because you know you’re held,
You’re held in Grace and Love,

You’re held in Care and Compassion,
No matter what may come your way,

His light will show you the way,
His divine message will heal you,

His beloved teachings will inspire you,
To keep seeking divine love and light,

To keep hoping and striving for that peace,
With Him, The Source of Peace. 

These powerful verses reassure us of the power and mercy of God - it reminds us that no matter how great we think our challenges may be, no matter how difficult the adversity may be, no matter how great the losses are, God has the ability to help us overcome them.  

In between the verses that show us the great power and majesty of God's creation of the heavens and the earth, the sending down of rain, the creation of the earth, rivers and mountains, and how God originated all creation and resurrects, God reassures us who is it that can answer the one in distress when they call onto Him and not only remove that distress but grant them leadership  other than Him? And who is it that can guide us in the darkness of the land and sea - the darknesses and trials of life other than Him ? 

Let's take heart in these beautifully reassuring verses. He's taking care of us in every single moment, every single trial, and every single triumph. Alhamdullilah.

JAK Sr Raghad, your words have a way of soothing the heart :)

I commented the below on Sr Faatimah's reflection (http://quranreflect.com/posts/10638), which I believe is nicely linked to your reflection.

'Alhamdulillah, a beautiful realisation that leads to true contentment.'
