Let’s Read Surah Kahf Today (Friday)

Remain Humble and Patient in Seeking Knowledge

The story of Prophet Musa (peace be upon him) in Surah Al-Kahf highlights the importance of humility and perseverance in seeking knowledge. Despite being a great prophet, Musa embarked on a journey to learn from Al-Khidr, a servant of Allah who had been given special wisdom. 

This story emphasizes that even those with significant knowledge must remain humble and willing to learn from others. It also teaches that pursuing knowledge often requires patience and trust in Allah's wisdom, as there are hidden reasons and lessons behind things that may not be immediately clear. 

Seeking knowledge is a continuous journey filled with growth and understanding.

True Beauty of Aging

True Beauty of Aging

The true beauty of aging lies in the heart that beats with love for Allah and the soul that longs to meet Him, as Allah says,

“Indeed, those who have said, 'Our Lord is Allah' and then remained steadfast— the angels will descend upon them, [saying], 'Do not fear and do not grieve but receive good tidings of Paradise, which you were promised.' [Quran, Fussilat 41:30]

Building a Meaningful Life

All humans are dead except those who have knowledge; and all those who have knowledge are asleep, except those who do good deeds; and those who do good deeds are deceived, except those who are sincere; and those who are sincere are always in a state of worry. 

(Imam Shafi'i)

A meaningful life is built on knowledge, action, sincerity, and constant spiritual awareness.

Let's Read Surah Kahf Today -- The Losers

Let's Read Surah Kahf Today -- The Losers

Say, [O Muhammad], "Shall we [believers] inform you of the greatest losers as to [their] deeds? They are those whose effort is lost in worldly life, while they think they are doing well in work." 

(Quran, Al-Kahf 18:103-104)

Allah describes the true losers as those whose efforts in this world are misguided and fruitless. Despite their hard work, their actions bring no benefit in the Hereafter because they were not aligned with the truth or done for the sake of Allah. These people may believe they are doing good, but their deeds are ultimately wasted because they fail to recognize their purpose or submit to Allah’s guidance. 

The ayahs serve as a reminder that success is not measured by worldly achievements but by the sincerity of one's faith and deeds in seeking Allah’s pleasure and preparing for eternal life in the Hereafter.

رَبَّنَا آتِنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً وَهَيِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا رَشَدًا

Our Lord, grant us from Yourself mercy and prepare for us from our affair right guidance.

Death is not Morbid

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

Death is not Morbid

In Islam, death is not viewed as morbid but as a natural and necessary transition from this temporary life to the eternal Hereafter. Muslims are encouraged to remember death frequently as a way to inspire mindfulness and spiritual growth. 

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: "Remember often the destroyer of pleasures (i.e., death)." (Ibn Majah). This remembrance is not meant to instill fear but to motivate believers to live righteous lives, focus on good deeds, seek repentance, and prepare for meeting Allah. Far from being morbid, death serves as a powerful reminder of life’s purpose and encourages striving toward eternal peace and Allah's mercy.

May Allah grant us excellent ending. Yaa Muqallibal Quloob Thabbit Qalbee ‘alaa Deenik. Oh turner of the hearts (Allah, the Most High), keep our hearts firm on your religion. Aameen.
