The Prophet Muhammad(SAW) said:
“From the happiness of the son of Adam is his satisfaction with what Allah has decreed for him, and from the misery of the son of Adam is his dissatisfaction with what Allah has decreed for him.”
Narrated by Tirmidhi (2151)

Today’s Quran verse reflection:
…Allah will replace their evil deeds with good[25:70]
SubhanAllah, Allah’s mercy knows no bounds. Not only does He forgive us when we sincerely repent, but He even turns our bad deeds into good deeds.
Imagine going to Allah on yamul qiyamah and seeing bundles of good deeds that you don’t remember doing.
When you ask, He says, “These were your sins, which I turned into good deeds because you repented🥹
I also reflected on the powerful story from the time of Prophet Musa (AS), showing how one man’s sincere repentance brought rain after a drought. Allah, the Most Merciful, forgives us quietly, conceals our sins, and gives us a fresh start. So, never think you’re beyond forgiveness—Allah is always ready to welcome you back.

Today’s Hadith Reflection:
Qaddar Allah wa ma sha’a fa’al
[Allah has decreed and what He wills, He does]
Regret brings you closer to Allah.
The Prophet ﷺ said, Regret is repentance!
But not all regret is healthy..
In today’s reflection, I discuss how regret can lead us back to Allah and why we should avoid getting stuck in the ‘what ifs.’ As The Prophet ﷺ teaches us to trust in Allah’s decree:
Qaddar Allah wa ma sha’a fa’al
[Allah has decreed, and what He wills, He does]

Today’s Hadith reflection:
This dunya is a prison for the believers and a paradise for the disbelievers.
The believers’ souls are imprisoned because they belong to another world—a better world, where they don’t have to get sick, where they don’t have to bleed, where they don’t have to cry!
The believers’ souls are yearning for something greater, something better. It is like a prisoner that is homesick and misses its true home—it’s JANNAH.
But what happens when a soul thinks this dunya is its paradise?

Today’s Hadith reflection:
Allah talks to you in salah
Did you know Allah (SWT) actually talks to us in Salah? 🥹 When we recite Surah Al-Fatiha, we’re talking to Him, and He replies to every single verse you say!
Every time we recite Surah Al-Fatiha in Salah, we’re talking to Him, and He’s responding after every ayah.
So today, I reflect on each of Allah’s replies to us for every verse!
It’s just so intimate and beautiful knowing that Allah actually responds to you. Every Surah Al-Fatiha you recite, you’re not just speaking words into the air—you’re having a direct conversation with your Lord, the One who created you.

Today’s Hadith Reflection:
“Hamdan Kathiran Tayyiban Mubarakan Fihi.”
Today I reflected on a powerful hadith about a man who praised Allah with some words during Salah.
After the Salah, the Prophet (SAW) said he saw over 30 angels rushing to write down the reward of this man for saying these beautiful praises!
We often underestimate the significance of our praises, but this story reveals how even a small phrase can tip the scales in our favor.
Listen as I reflect on the beauty of praising Allah and the incredible mercy He shows to those who strive to remember Him.

Today’s Quran verse reflection:
“We were not of those who prayed” [74:43]
In Surah Al-Muddathir, Allah shows us a haunting conversation between the People of Hellfire and the people of Paradise.
The people In Jannah will ask the people in hell what got them into Hell? And their regretful answer will be,
“We were not of those who prayed”
Allah shows us what the people of Hell will say as a mercy to help us avoid their fate.
Which side will we be on—those asking the people in Hell, or those being asked why they are in Hell?

You say to yourself, “I won’t do it again.” You tell Allah you won’t do it again, and then you do it again.
You feel so ashamed that sometimes you even ask yourself, “How do I face Allah in salah when I keep doing this?”
And then Shaytan whispers to you, “Just don’t pray.”
Today, I talked about my life as an imperfect repenter, like every other human, striving in jihad al-nafs (striving against our lower selves).

In this episode, I shared a beautiful story about a slave girl who spent her nights in worship to Allah.
For Allah to come down to the seventh heaven and wake you up to talk to Him.
To be chosen by Allah, to come closer, to whisper your secrets, your hopes, and your fears to Him.
Tahajjud is truly a gift, one that only those Allah loves are invited to.

“Is Allah punishing me?” A question many of us ask ourselves during hardships.
Yes, sometimes we bring hardships upon ourselves with our own hands. But even when that happens, do you know that punishment from Allah in this dunya can actually be a form of mercy from Him?
I read something about this from a book and it really struck me so I decided to talk about it!
So today I discussed:
• How we can view hardships as mercies from Allah rather than mere punishments.
•Understanding the nature of trials and Allah’s mercy can completely change our perspective.
•How thinking well of Allah (Husn al-Dhann) plays a crucial role in shaping our experience of hardship.
• Allah’s infinite mercy: How even in times of difficulty, His mercy and wisdom are present.
• Practical ways to shift our mindset from one of despair to hope, and how to reconnect with Allah during tough moments.

Healing is a deeply personal and spiritual journey. In the context of our lives, we all face challenges, whether emotional, mental, or physical.
It’s through the concept of acceptance, paired with prayer and faith that true healing begins.Acceptance is not passive, it is a choice to live with purpose, grounded in faith.
When we accept what Allah SWT has decreed for us, we begin to heal, finding peace in the present moment, and strength to move forward with hope for the future.
