Bismillah 

I saw a meme earlier on that was saying :

"Time flies so fast .  When we were kids , we used to long for eid , but in adulthood we long for ramadhan even much more than we did long eid "

I think this is a globall meme , adulthood has its fair share of global burden , anxiety and pressure upon us . 
All year round SubhanAllah from time to time we might experience fatal chokes of life , the days when the brain is just overworking and our beds turns into a thought ground .
The above mentioned Meme points out that after 11 months the month of peace and settling comes to give us comfort in our hearts by permission of Allah.

BUT hold on ! Yeah we all know that Ramadhan is a special month Alhamdhullilah for it , but why dont we attain that mental peace and comfort of the heart the rest of the 11 months .
What are not doing to carry with us the fruits of Ramadhan with us till the next ramdhan In Shaa Allah .

Here is some thoughts and reflection why :
 Ash -Sharh :
During this blessed month we do feel that something has been lifted off our chest , and that a heavy burden of anxiety , fear , regret  from from our shoulder and are all replaced with hope , joy , peace and alot of dua and immense tawakul.
Allah says:
● surely  with hardship comes ease 
● Surely with hardship comes ease 
● So once you have fullfilled your duty strive in devotion

Human logical thinking 
We human have tendency to reward ourselves when we do complete a certain duty , 
And the problem with us , is that we dont have a limit in granting ourselves reward 

But our logic is somewhat interfering with a divine advice : 
●" SO ONCE YOU HAVE COMPLETED YOUR DUTY STRIVE IN DEVOTION "

Lets dive a little bit into the arabic term used 
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ

The word Fansab means 
●to exert effort
●to toil, strive, work
 ●to endure fatigue for a purpose

What does our human logic tell us :
"After iftar , since  alhamdhullilah i refrained from eating from the fajr adhan to maghrib adhan and that was my target and i have achieved its time to reward myself :

- By not leaving the dining table , now its your time to enjoy every meal on the table such that ,you end up so full you cant pray taraweh or even Isha becomes too difficult for you 
-Since you fasted and it was not okay to scroll on social media , but now you have break your fast its time to scroll for hours that even suhur becomes too extreme for you to wake up 
-Since you were so devoted in istighfar the whole day and now the fasting period has ended you now turn to yapping and storyy telling for hours 

All the possible ways we end up rewarding ourselves improve nothing in us , instead it weakens us , makes us of the heedless 

I was reading surah waqia the other day , and i was so struck by an ayah .

Allah says in surah waqia that :
In the Day of judgement the human beings will be grouped into 3 categories only , which are :
1. The forerunners > Those who were ahead racing to do good 
2. The people of the right > The believers /Strivers
3. The people of the left > The people of hell fire 

So i started reading who are these people their prior actions in this world and their rewards/punishment in the hereafter .
When i got to the people of the hell fire/the people of the left .
Allah didnt say they were mushrikun , they were deniers , they were kafirr , they were hypocrates as there 1st description 
He said SWT :

●"Indeed, before this ˹torment˺ they were spoiled by luxury,"

SubhaAllah the first description is that these people planged themselves into much ease that made them forget themselves , made worship difficult for them , made them lose sight of the SCALE .

مترفين  Mutrafin 

Means indulging in luxury 
Luxury that makes one soft 
Luxury that makes one weak
Luxury that slowly destroys 

●And thats our logic in ramadhan fast the whole day then indulge the whole night 
●Building the whole day and destroying the whole night 
●Fortifying taqwa the whole day and cutting its root the whole night 

This coming ramadhan [Allahuma balighni ]
●Lets build during the day and fortify during the night 
●Lets sow during the day and water our garden (heart) during the nightt 

Allah tells us of the character of a people in the Quran multiple times/places :
People who when are burdened they call onto Allah crying , begging , sleeping ,sitting and standing 
But when Allah crant them ease and blessing after their hardship they immediately without no delay , almost instantly turn away from Allah 

That is definately the description of many of us all through the year and moresoo during ramadhan nights .

We are creatures who dont know to put limit on ease /indulgence 

Allah says in surahAl adiya
"( Human ) are trully extreme in their love for good "

Lets build our taqwa by exerting pressure and forceful and purposefull toiling and striving everytime 
Lets pray for protection agains turning away when ease comes our way 

Lets strive for Taqwa 
Lets start doing away with our social media account as early as now .

#Ramadan ​ ready
#Ramadan ​ preparation
#Ramadan ​ challenge

May Allah guide us and accept from us all.   



I found it beautiful how horses show up in both Surat al-adiyat and Surat sad, even though they’re talking about different people. In both places, horses represent a deep love for worldly things, not just owning them but being emotionally attached to them. The Quran even uses similar wording (mutashabihat) about hubb al-khayr, which made me look at these verses alongside each other. In al-Adiyat, humans are criticized for being obsessed with dunya, while in Surat sad, Sulayman realizes that even something halal and beautiful can distract the heart from Allah. The Quran uses the same symbol in two totally different stories to show the same spiritual struggle. It makes you realize that the real test isn’t the dunya itself, but what you let your heart cling to.
And it made me think about how influential “Horses” (today’s world cars, brands, clothes, degrees) can be and how much they are capable of sucking you away. 

MashaAllah Tabarak Allah 🌿
The explanation you wrote is very clear, simple, and deep. The meaning comes across accurately, and the flow is smooth and engaging. The core message of tadabbur — that the dunya itself is not the problem, but the heart’s attachment to it is the real test — is conveyed very clearly.
These aspects are especially well done:
The way the two surahs are connected through a single shared symbol
The focus on the phrase ḥubb al-khayr
The subtle lesson drawn from the story of Prophet Sulayman (peace be upon him)
The use of contemporary examples as today’s “horses”
What makes it beautiful is that it invites reflection rather than feeling like a lecture — and that is the true beauty of tadabbur.
May Allah place barakah in this reflection and keep our hearts attached to Him alone.<br></br>

Changed by the Quran

Falling in love with this dunya will only destroy your Imaan because this world is full of haram, especially in the West. Do not fall in love with what is pleasing to the eyes but, use this world in preparation for the afterlife. Are you ready to meet your lord?

Thank you for sharing your reflection on the dangers of becoming attached to the material aspects of this world and emphasizing the importance of preparing for the afterlife. It's a reminder that we all need to hear from time to time to stay focused on our faith and ultimate purpose. Keep reflecting and sharing your insights with the community. Jazak Allah Khair for your contribution!



When I first read these verses, it made me think about the love and desire for all the possible tangible items that we could deem to be invaluable. For instance, money, clothes, jewelry, cars and the list is unlimited as there is endless materialism. I made a commitment with myself to not buy unnecessary items and neither keep hold of them for a prolonged period of time. To fulfill my commitment, it is important that I audit my items frequently. Similarly, food products that we buy have an expiry date, this is why we try not to use them beyond the specified date. As such, we should also have an expiry date for other valuables, so we do not hoard them for a significant timeframe before giving them to charity.

However, when I read these verses again — it made me think of the intangible items that we keep in our hearts such as the desires to acquire more of this دنيا and what it represents: unhealthy competition, holding on to beneficial knowledge, and not sharing it with others. I have also realised that the process of an audit should begin with the heart to clear it from the excessive impulse of acquiring wealth. One may find it easier to let go of tangible items once the heart is clear of the aforementioned desires.

To summarise, I would like to share the quote of Ibn-Qayyim (RA) 'When there is money in your hand and not in your heart, it will not harm you even if it is a lot; and when it is in your heart, it will harm you even if there is none in your hands.'

There is a kind of love that kills—the love of wealth that makes the hand tremble, the heart hardened, the soul restless. We gather, we hoard, as if we can outlast time. But all of it—every coin, every possession—will one day slip through our fingers like dust. The earth will one day return its trust; graves will open, and what we buried—bodies and secrets alike—will rise. The thoughts we never voiced, the desires we tucked away in silence, the truths we dared not confront—they will stand beside us, known and seen. On that Day, nothing will be hidden from the One who knows the folds of our hearts better than we do. It humbles me to remember: the real measure will not be what I owned, but what I chose—what I loved, what I gave, what I became. So I remind myself gently: seek not permanence in what was never meant to last. Anchor your hope in what endures. The Hereafter isn’t far—it’s closer with every breath. And Allah, in His perfect justice, never forgets, never wrongs, never overlooks.
