The distorted perception of reality is truly a frightening punishment. Imagine working tirelessly towards a goal only to find out that not only were your efforts worthless, but you also ended up creating mischief on the earth! {أَلَآ إِنَّهُمْ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْسِدُونَ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا يَشْعُرُونَ ١٢} - 'Indeed, it is they who are the corruptors, but they fail to perceive it.' [v. 2:12] It's also so beautiful how as we are reading through the Quran, the yaqeen in Allah is also strengthened. How do we ensure we are not viewing the world with a distorted lens? Truly, there is no guidance without You, O Allah (Al-Haadee). No wonder we need to repeat the dua for guidance so many times! {ٱهْدِنَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ ٦} - 'Guide us along the Straight Path' [v. 1:6] May Allah show us the truth as truth, and falsehood as falsehood! [اللهم أرنا الحق حقا وارزقنا اتباعه ، وأرنا الباطل باطلا ، وارزقنا اجتنابه] 🤲
