How does staying in a comfort zone limit our potential?
When we spend our days on the couch, scrolling through reels, it feels like change is happening—but only for a moment. This kind of instant gratification fades quickly, leaving us empty. In contrast, reading books creates lasting mental pictures and deeper understanding, enriching our minds over time.
I once collected books passionately, building a library filled with knowledge. But I kept...Xem tiếp
Assalam o Alaikum! It's my first reflection here, and I'm happy to share, we don't remember the blessings of Allah has granted us, even a glass of water, one time food and fine one room is more than enough to thank Allah, but we have way more than it, then why we don't thank Allah, why we have so much of the blessings, but we don't give sadaqah, why we think that our needs has overcome us, why we don't believe in Allah who provided us, In our mot...Xem tiếp
Since joining the QuranReflect community, I have always felt it to be a profound blessing ! one that we will surely be questioned about, just as Allah reminds us in Qur’an 102:8: “Then, on that Day, you will definitely be questioned about the blessing.”
Today, I received a notification that someone liked one of my past reflections. Whenever that happens, I usually go back to reread what I wrote. That moment of returning feels like a small invita...Xem tiếp

Imagine that everywhere you go throughout the day, there is a treasure chest coming along with you.
Every time you have a desire for something that is unlawful, deny yourself and imagine that you are placing it inside of this treasure chest. And then try to forget about it.
Now imagine reaching Jennah and opening this treasure chest that you carried around with you your whole life. Do you think you will feel deprived of anything in Jennah?
Have you ever met a truly honorable person? One clear sign of their integrity is that they always keep their promises; they don’t lie or issue empty threats. Now, if such a person keeps their word, what then of Allah, the Most Honorable? This means that whatever He has warned us about will certainly come to pass.
Reflecting on Quran 102:8, 'Then, on that Day, you will definitely be questioned about ˹your worldly˺ pleasures,' I am compelled to as...Xem tiếp
'Do not forget your share of the worldly life' (28:77)
This is telling me that Allah does not want to overly burden us. We are free to live our lives in this world and enjoy the blessings that Allah has provided for us. It's not a zero sum game between dunya and Allah - we don't have to live lives of misery.
However, concurrently, these blessings are not the be-all and end-all. We're not hedonists. We shouldn't overstep o...Xem tiếp

When reading these ayat (verses) in which you are commanded to be grateful and warned against ingratitude, it's important to bear in mind the context and reality of the people upon whom these verses where revealed.
They did not have air conditioners in the brutal summer days, nor did they have central heating in the bitter cold winter nights, and instead they had to brace the forces of nature with whatever light garments they managed to get the...Xem tiếp
People often say they believe in Allah and the Day of Judgment, but much of that belief remains shallow — words spoken on the tongue, not convictions that shape the heart. The Qur’an captures this blindness in Sūrah al-Takāthur:
'Competition for more distracted you, until you visited the graves. No! If you only knew with ʿilm al-yaqīn (knowledge of certainty). You will surely see the Hellfire. Then you will surely see it with ʿayn al...Xem tiếp
Bismillah Continued from last reflection on Surah At-Takaathur.
Allah has made us seekers. Restlessness is written into the heart. No matter how much wealth we gather or comfort we build, a voice inside keeps asking: Is this all? That is not weakness — it is design. The Qur’an calls it fiṭrah, the pure nature that always points us back to Him.
I was always a questioner. My heart could not stay silent. But there was a time when I asked in the...Xem tiếp
IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE BENEFICENT, THE MERCIFUL
Rivalry in worldly increase distracteth you (1) Until ye come to the graves. (2) Nay, but ye will come to know! (3)Nay, but ye will come to know! (4) Nay, would that ye knew (now) with a sure knowledge! (5) For ye will behold hell-fire. (6) Aye, ye will behold it with sure vision. (7) Then, on that day, ye will be asked concerning pleasure. (8)
