Do you not see that Allah gently drives the clouds, then joins them together, piling them up into masses, from which you see raindrops come forth? And He sends down from the sky mountains ˹of clouds˺ loaded with hail, pouring it on whoever He wills and averting it from whoever He wills. The flash of the clouds’ lightning nearly takes away eyesight.

Allah alternates the day and night. Surely in this is a lesson for people of insight.

And Allah has created from water every living creature. Some of them crawl on their bellies, some walk on two legs, and some walk on four. Allah creates whatever He wills. Surely Allah is Most Capable of everything.

We have indeed sent down revelations clarifying ˹the truth˺. But Allah ˹only˺ guides whoever He wills to the Straight Path.

The Holy Quran – Chapter 24 (Al-Noor, The Light) – Verses 43-46 – Translation: Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

You don’t have to be wealthy to be generous; though having both qualities would be a bonus. Generosity means giving more than just money. It’s about sacrifice, your time & effort. It keeps you close to the Almighty & Paradise. Avoid being miserly. Give even if you have little.

Almighty. Heal the wounds we have collected and kept inside for so long. Grant us success in this world and the Hereafter. Don’t let our achievements get to our heads. Guide us and show us a way out of our difficulties. Aameen.

Cultivate the habit of making gratitude an attitude; a way of life. When you’re able to appreciate the Almighty’s blessings, no matter how small, you’ll be much happier.

Do not let the feeling of being overwhelmed by everything bad happening in the world stop you from changing someone’s life for the better.

Dr. Omar Suleiman (Twitter)

You’ll be hurt, you’ll be in pain. You’ll fall. That’s part of life. But as long as you get hold of yourself and get back up again, you’ll be fine. Don’t waste time. Don’t dwell too long on your mistakes. Learn from them and keep going. Life goes on.

A man asked the Prophet, “Which Islam is best?” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “To feed the hungry and to greet with peace those you know and those you do not know.”

Hadith # 28 from Sahih al-Bukhari collection

There’s a type of worldly punishment called istidraaj. It’s when your prosperity increass but that ends up corrupting you further. According to Imam Sufyan at-Thawri the indicator for this is when a person’s blessings increase but they decrease in gratitude- May Allāh protect us

When you forget that you need Allah (God), He puts you in a situation that causes you to call upon Him. And that’s for your own good.

True happiness comes from having a sense of inner peace and contentment, which in turn must be achieved by cultivating altruism, love, and compassion, and by eliminating anger, selfishness, and greed.
