At the height of his calamity, after losing two more sons upon the already painful loss of Yusuf, Yaqoub makes a conscious decision to exercise patience. Not just any patience, but beautiful patience. A patience that made him expect only the best from Allah. A patience that made him say, perhaps such a painful calamity is happening so that Allah can reunite me with all my sons. Perhaps behind this tragedy is what I have longed for all these years. Perhaps this is the beginning of my relief. Allah is the Most Knowing, the Wise. This cannot be happening without a purpose.
It does not befit a servant of Allah to know the vastness of His mercy and assume that anything other than tremendous good awaits in the most seemingly tragic moments. Allah does everything for a reason. But we need to practice beautiful patience. We need to assume only the best of Allah because whoever knows Allah knows that He is the Most Merciful. So surely, every pain will be followed with great relief. Every sadness only exists because an even greater happiness will come out of it. Everything we go through is to prepare us for the good that will inevitably come. It is part of the process. When you know Allah, you hear patience knowing that what is to come out of your calamity is greater than anything you could dream of.
Yaqoub was so sure of Allah’s mercy that he not only expected only good from Allah, but he told his sons to go look for Yusuf, whom he lost decades ago. The sons were focused on the brothers they just lost. Imagine their incredulity when Yaqoub tells them to look for Yusuf and his brothers. Not just the brothers in Egypt. They did not take him seriously.
But what followed Yaqoub’s great expectations of Allah and his certainty in Allah’s mercy? Allah soon gave him glad tidings of Yusuf not only being alive and a Prophet, but becoming the Aziz of Egypt. His son, who was overpowered by his brothers, has been given power over a kingdom by Allah. His son whom he lost in the most heart-wrenching way was under Allah’s care and achieved even more than he would have had he remained in his father’s arms. Every little detail was accounted for. Every harm was followed by an even greater reward. Every pain was followed by an even greater happiness. The generosity of Allah was manifest. Allah gave Yaqoub more than he expected of Him.

A couple of years ago, I forgot who actually said it but I was listening to a khutbah or something on YouTube, and the speaker said that once you reach a certain level it's like you unlock a channel with Allah swt and you start hearing what He swt is trying to tell you, you start seeing the signs, you sort of become in a constant communication with Allah swt even in the simplest of ways, etc etc. And that always fascinated me, the thought alone, like imagine being able to communicate with Allah swt in very simple ways without needing much steps or idk.. anyways, fast forward today, right now, I got on Tumblr and wanted to write a post about my struggle with music now that I am spending the summer in Tunisia, and how the culture, especially in summer, with all the festivals and the weddings and the parties, revolves around music and you find yourself exposed to that constantly, and most often unwillingly.. and how it was so much easier for me to control my exposure to music back home. But then, I discarded the mental notification that told me to write the post and kept passively scrolling.. a few scrolls down I am met with one of my most favorite verses from my most favorite surah :
و ألقيت عليك محبة مني ( سورة طه )
So I automatically smiled and was about to reblog it as my initial reaction to it, but then I felt like it was a message from Allah swt reminding me of the time of my life I was so obsessed with surat Ta Ha, I would listen to it religiously, on repeat, I even managed to learn parts of it just from listening, and it reminding me of those times where I would use the time I am commuting to listen to my daily Qur'an playlist, and it did feel that Allah swt is answering the post I haven't even posted, He swt acknowledging and resolving that only existed in my thoughts, and it gets better! He swt chose my favorite surah as a reminder because He swt - the All-knowing - obviously knows my attachement to surat Ta Ha and knows it would invoke such a positive emotional reaction in me. Now tell me this isn't a proof of this verse from surat Ta Ha as well:
وَاِنۡ تَجۡهَرۡ بِالۡقَوۡلِ فَاِنَّهٗ يَعۡلَمُ السِّرَّ وَاَخۡفٰى
20:7) Whether you speak out aloud (or in a low voice), He knows what is said secretly, and even that which is most hidden.
And a reminder of this verse from surat Qaf
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِ نَفْسُهُ ۖ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ الْوَرِيدِ (16)
(50:16) Surely We19 have created man, and We know the promptings of his heart, and We are nearer to him than even his jugular vein.
The point is, indeed Allah swt is closer to us than we can ever imagine or perceive with our human abilities, all we have to do is listen.
Alhamdullillah for such a beautiful religion 🥹.

(9:118) Accepted Repentance - Part 1 [EP 65]
How do you know if your repentance has been accepted? Ultimately, only Allah ﷻ knows, but the Quran hints at some of the signs on how the process work.
_#QuranReflections by Talha Ghannam_ Podcast: https://anchor.fm/quranclub App: http://www.quranclub.org Website: http://www.otpok.com — وَعَلَى ٱلثَّلَـٰثَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ خُلِّفُوا۟ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا ضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْأَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ وَضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنفُسُهُمْ وَظَنُّوٓا۟ أَن لَّا مَلْجَأَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّآ إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَتُوبُوٓا۟ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ…

If you think about it, all Allah SWT really asks from you is to try. Allah SWT knows His creation. He knows that us humans- we aren’t perfect. So try. Try to lay out your prayer mat. Try to talk to him. Try to complete this fast. You aren’t a bad muslim for making mistakes in your past. No matter how bad it was, Allah SWT’s forgiveness and mercy and love is there to take care of all of it for you.

After helping the two women in Madyan to water their flock, Prophet Musa 'alayhis-salaam returned to sit under the shade of a tree, and made this du'a:
🌟 ❛My Rabb, truly I am in need of whatever good that You bestow on me.❜  [Surah al-Qasas 28 : 23-24]
When he escaped Fir'aun, he left everything in Egypt. Now he had nothing with him.
He was now homeless, moneyless, unknown and a stranger to the people of Madyan. He helped the women, but who was going to help him?
It was Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
He is Al-Mujeeb, the One who responds — Allah responded to Prophet Musa's du'a.
He is Ar-Razzaq, the Provider of Rizq — Allah gave him shelter and a job.
He is Al-Wahhab, the Giver of Gifts — Allah gave him a wife and a family.
When we think that all doors of opportunities and assistances are closed shut, know that Allah will open the way for us. As long as we have taqwa, and help out one another, the Help of Allah will come.
🌟 Allah ta'ala says: ❛And whosoever has taqwa of Allah, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty).❜  [Surah at-Talaq 65 : 2]
🌟 Rasulullah salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam said:  ❛Allah is engaged in helping the worshipper as long as the worshipper is engaged in helping his brother (in faith).❜ [At-Tirmidhi 1930 | Graded Sahih]

Jednog dana ćeš shvatiti :
Da je namaz bio bolji od spavanja ,a spavala si.
I da je vird Kur'an bio smiraj,a napustila si ga.
I da su ti zikrovi povećavali bereket tvoga dana ,pa si bila lijena .
I da je istigfar povećavao tvoju nafaku ,pa si bila nemarna.
I da je noćni namaz davao smiraj u tvoje srce ,pa si ga ostavila .
I da su vrata oprosta otvorena u svako vrijeme ,pa si ga odgađala.
Stigni i iskoristi sto ranije .

Islamic education is supposed to create an awe of Allah SWT. It's not only about teaching a subject of Islamic studies along with several other subjects. Geography should lead to a student marvelling at the precision with which Allah designed the world, the description of earthquakes should lead a student to think about the will of Allah SWT - how he gave the tectonic plates the attributes it has that causes the earthquakes, the description of the water cycle should point to the creators intelligent design.
And so on. Our medieval scholars, scientists and astronomers used to drop verses of the qura'n while writing thesis and books on astronomy, biology etc. They linked everything back to the creator which is the way education should be.
Not everything is mechanistic and naturalistic and a result of random accidents. There's an infinitely wise designer of the universe and ideal Islamic education should inculcate this sense in the students.
In fact, from a linguistic perspective I'd like to share an insight. In Arabic the world Aalam commonly transacted as "world" also means "that by means of which one knows a thing" or "signpost, indicator". Thus aalam, the world, is a signpost to the divine; it points to the creator of the universe. Reflection on aalam should make a person aalim (knower) of Allah.

Are you familiar with the saying "life doesn't come with a user manual"? Well, it does. It's called the Qur'an and it contains everything you need to know: the rules, the do's, the do nots, the guidelines, the rewards, the punishment, and for those who learn better by listening to other people's experiences and relating to them, it does come with an important section of stories of the previous clans and generations and what happened to them in hopes that we be warned and take caution. Whatever situation you might be in that has you feeling lost or indecisive, the answer is in the Qur'an, the solution is in the Qur'an. Such a blessing we underestimate. La hawla wa la quwata illa billah.

(20:78) NPCs [EP 64]
When telling the story of Ashura, our attention is often drawn to the main characters within the narrative, be it Prophet Musa (as) and Pharaoh, or Imam Hussein (ra) and Yazid...
