Īmān: A Gift We Often Forget to Treasure

Īmān: A Gift We Often Forget to Treasure

Īmān is among the most precious gifts Allah bestows, yet so often we carry it lightly, as if it were guaranteed and permanent. A simple message from a friend asking me to make duʿāʾ for her very ill brother—so that he might die as a Muslim—shook my heart awake. In that moment, I praised Allah for the immense blessing of being born into Islam, raised by righteous parents, and for being guided back whenever my steps wavered. 

How many people walk this world still unaware of this priceless gift, still searching? By evening, I received a video of that very brother softly declaring the shahādah. Allāhu Akbar. A reminder that īmān is not something we earn by lineage or assume by habit—it is a mercy Allah places in hearts, and one we must cherish, protect, and thank Him for every single day.
