👀 What You Missed This Week

DAILYREFLECTIONS

This week, we moved from hardship to chosen effort, acting before feeling and trusting that unseen consistency is counted by Allah. We honored Salman’s sincerity and Malcolm’s dignity, clearing the ego to become vessels who serve purely for Allah.

One More Step: The Secret to Resilience

When relief comes, rise into deliberate worship, turning lifted burdens into striving for Allah. Build the habit of “one more”, a page, a prayer, a minute of dhikr, so pressure becomes resilience and closeness to Him.

Faith Ain’t Always Sweet

Guidance follows motion: act before you feel it, making worship your calibration, not anesthesia. Choose small, consistent obedience and wise rest when needed to draw near to Allah.

When Others Turn Away

A warning and a mercy: if we hesitate, Allah will raise others to carry the trust with cleaner hands. Be Salman-like move with sincere obedience so you’re written into the story, not replaced by it.

Quiet Work, Loud Results

Growth begins unseen your quiet consistency is counted by Allah. Stay rooted through plateaus and peaks, for no effort is lost when striving sincerely for Him.

Dignity Learned in the Dark

In the story of Malcolm X, faith rebuilt dignity once stripped away teaching that true honor is not granted by people, but received from Allah and carried with restraint, courage, and self-mastery.

The Power of Being Hollow

A reed becomes music by making space for the breath, so too does a believer find purpose by emptying ego and living entirely for Allah, turning every gift into devotion, not performance.

WATERMELONWATCH

GAZA, October 5, 2025 (WAFA) – Six Palestinians were killed and others injured since dawn Sunday due to Israeli gunfire and airstrikes across the Gaza Strip, despite Israeli claims of reducing its bombardment.

  • Six Palestinians were killed in early raids and strikes across Gaza, including civilians near aid centers.

  • Israel says Gaza City remains a “combat zone,” urging evacuation while ordering a halt to its offensive—though strikes reportedly continue.

  • Hamas has accepted parts of Trump’s Gaza proposal, including full hostage release, contingent on Israel meeting withdrawal commitments.

  • Trump declared Israel has agreed to an “initial withdrawal line,” promising that a ceasefire will begin once Hamas confirms the plan.

  • Le Monde reported that Gaza City is almost unrecognizable, with 82% under Israeli control, yet local aid volunteers continue risking everything to support displaced families.

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.

Anzalnā (ŰŁÙŽÙ†Ù’ŰČÙŽÙ„Ù’Ù†ÙŽŰ§) - We Sent Down

Anzalnā comes from n-z-l, to come down gently, to descend with purpose. When Allah says Anzalnā, it’s not just about sending, it’s about gifting. Whether it's the Qur’an, rain, or mercy, everything sent down comes with care, wisdom, and timing. It reminds us: what comes from above is never random, it’s always perfectly placed.
