DAILYREFLECTIONS

This week, we reflected on Allah’s sustaining care, the discipline of the body and heart, and the mercy of repentance, lessons of restraint, purification, and unshakable reliance on the Ever-Living, the Sustainer.

Perfection is a Myth, Repentance is the Path

Every child of Adam slips, but true greatness lies in rising after the fall — turning back to Allah with repentance and hope. .

What Will Matter Most on the Day of Judgment

On the Day of Judgment, only a sound heart will matter — purified through remembrance, repentance, and the courage to confront its diseases.

Why Purification Is the Secret to True Fulfillment

Though mankind was created anxious and restless, prayer and remembrance purify the heart, bringing a tranquility that transforms life into worship.

Eating with Intention: A Sunnah for Mind and Body

Ar-Raáž„man, the womb-like mercy of Allah, teaches us that true knowledge blossoms only when carried with compassion, gentleness, and care for all creation.

When Anger Becomes a Servant of Truth

True strength is not in overpowering others, but in mastering anger, training it to serve truth with mercy instead of destruction.

Ya Qayyum: Power in Surrender

Al-QayyĆ«m, the One who never stops holding us up, in Badr and in our lives — teaches us to trust, lean, and walk with unshakable reliance.

WATERMELONWATCH

UNICEF reports a sharp rise in child malnutrition cases since February.

  • Israeli military issued a second evacuation warning within 24 hours for displaced families living in a building and tents in Gaza City, while calling again on Hamas to surrender. This repeated alert adds to the mounting displacement and anxiety among civilians.

  • Palestinians begin evacuation from Gaza City as Israeli forces intensified strikes, now controlling around 40% of the area; tens of thousands are fleeing south amid a humanitarian crisis marked by aid shortages and fears of famine.

  • UNICEF reports that in August, over 15,000 children under five in Gaza were enrolled in acute malnutrition recovery programs—including more than 7,000 in just two weeks—highlighting the rapidly worsening conditions even as community kitchens and support networks try to help.

  • A toddler evacuated to Italy due to a rare metabolic disorder is showing signs of recovery, gaining 1.5 kg under specialized care—offering a rare spark of hope amid Gaza’s broader hunger crisis.

  • Greta Thunberg, aboard an aid flotilla en route to Gaza, called on UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to uphold “his legal duty to act to prevent a genocide,” as the convoy carries essential humanitarian supplies and raises its voice amid international concern.

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.

Ar-Raáž„Ä«m (Ù±Ù„Ű±ÙŽÙ‘Ű­ÙÙŠÙ…) — The Especially Merciful

Ar-Raáž„Ä«m is mercy that’s personal, precise, and lasting. Where Ar-Raáž„mān is expansive and universal, Ar-Raáž„Ä«m reaches the believer in the quiet moments, in repentance, in longing, in hope. It’s the mercy that follows us, carries us, and welcomes us back, again and again.
