DAILYREFLECTIONS
This week, we revisited the soul’s first promise and its journey of return, learning to hold firm to faith, renew the heart through remembrance, and listen for Allah’s nearness in every prayer.
Between Two Questions
In this reflection, we rediscovered salah as more than ritual a living conversation with Allah, where silence becomes response and presence turns prayer into love.
Alive With Their Lord
In this story of faith and sacrifice, we’re reminded that those who die for Allah never truly die their souls live on, sustained by His nearness, their only wish to return and give everything again.
The Living Dead
This reflection reminds us that true life is not in the body but in the soul and just as Allah revives the earth after its death, He can revive a heart that has forgotten Him.
The Soul That Never Grows Old
This reflection unveils the soul’s power to begin again every repentance, every surrender a new birth, proving that Allah’s mercy is not a door to find once, but one that never closes.
You Said “Yes” Before You Were Born
This reflection calls us to remember our soul’s first “yes” the sacred covenant made before time, reminding us that every joy and trial was chosen in trust of the One who designed our story.
Hold Tight When the World Pulls You Apart
This reflection teaches us to hold fast to the rope of Allah the unshakable handhold of faith for even when the world pulls away, His mercy is the wind that keeps us firm and lifted toward Jannah.

Gaza health officials report that the death toll in the Gaza Strip has surpassed 69,000 Palestinians since the war began, as more bodies are recovered and identified during the fragile truce.
Anadolu Agency reports that a Palestinian child was killed in Khan Younis when an unexploded ordnance from previous Israeli strikes detonated, highlighting the lasting danger of war remnants.

QURANCORNER
Each day, you’ll be introduced to one of the 300 most common Qur’anic words. The Qur’an has about 77,430 words in total, all built on just 2,000 root words. By learning these frequently recurring ones, you’ll recognize 70–80% of the Qur’an’s vocabulary and begin connecting more deeply as you read.
عذاب(Adhāb) — Punishment
Āmanū comes from the root ʾa-m-n (أ-م-ن) meaning peace, safety, and trust. When the Qur’an says alladhīna āmanū, those who believe, it speaks of hearts that trusted what they could not see, that found peace in surrender. Āmanū isn’t just about belief in words; it’s about belief that settles deep into the soul and shows in how we live.
