I gotta learn to forgive beautifully! That’s deep! We have not created the heavens and the earth and everything in between except for a purpose. And the Hour is certain to come, so forgive graciously.

As I was reading the sad news headlines, I had to reflect on the Hadith about how artificially high people are building up their egos yet how low they’re sinking into darkness. Also, our beloved Prophet told us about how these miserable people are racing to build high buildings that are utterly useless for the people…. NEWS HEADLINE: 'Construction of world’s tallest skyscraper resumes after years-long hiatus'
فَفِرُّوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ٥٠ وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ٥١ Twice the both Ayat repeat ' I am truly sent by Him with a clear warning to you.' Why? Run to Allah ONLY. Ponder on this glorious reminder/thikr ذكر
I have to read this glorious aya to gain confidence, because it tells me I have a purpose. You and I have a higher purpose. Our creation is mentioned with the heavens and earth that we still don’t know how high the sky is . When depression hits, read this glorious aya.
Surah az-Zumar Gem Surah az-Zumar is one of my favorite surahs to recite and ponder over. The whole surah provides a very eloquent and beautiful message right before some of the companions of the Prophet (saw) migrated to Abyssinia. Since it was revealed in such a hostile environment, the surah’s main audience is the disbelieving Quraish. The believers are also addressed in the surah. The actual aim of the surah and message revolves around mankind adopting Islam and accepting Allah (swt) as the One and Only deity. This principle of tawheed and the eternal bliss that comes along with sincere belief is stressed over and over again in this surah, and in the whole Qur’an actually. The falseho
...فَٱسْتَخَفَّ قَوْمَهُۥ فَأَطَاعُوهُ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًۭا فَـٰسِقِينَ ٥٤ And so he fooled his people, and they obeyed him. They were truly a rebellious people. How many of today’s dictators and tyrants I so-called demonocratic regimes have brainwashed their populace to feel rather than THINK about what is happening in the world!!!
We are surely weak indeed. Covid put me in bed 10 days and my wife in bed for 21 days and we thought we were going to die . We have small children and people had to bring us food. It was a sad time. I stared at the wall daily unable to eat or move and I kept thinking of Ayub (AS). I kept doing what Ayub did with his foot begging الله for help.
Being from Florida, and as I was reading about recent hurricane called 'Beryl,' the article stated, 'The Atlantic Ocean has been running a fever for the past year and a half. Sea surface temperatures across the ocean were the warmest on record for almost all of 2023 and continuing into 2024.' Then the Aya in Al Rum hit me: ظَهَرَ الْفَسَادُ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ لِيُذِيقَهُم بَعْضَ الَّذِي عَمِلُوا لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ Corruption has appeared in the land and the sea on account of what the hands of men have earned, that He may make them taste a part of that which they have done, so that they may return. (Sūrat al-Rūm, No 30, Āyat 41) ('Fev
