Your most favourite surah that you recite every day
Ya Allah, please take away the laziness that holds me back in my worship, my salah, my efforts, and my dreams. Fill me with drive, discipline, and consistency. Help me reach the best version of myself and unlock the potential You’ve placed within me.
I read this a while back that when Allah loves a person, He makes the people around them love them as well. And maybe that's why people randomly tell you their life story, or everywhere you go people always have genuine smiles on their face. maybe that stranger loves talking to you because your Lord has made the heavens and the earth love you❤️❤️❤️
Perhaps the Ghurabā’ are not a legend after all.
They may be the ones silently choosing Allah when the world chooses desires.
They may be the ones praying Fajr while everyone else sleeps.
They may be the ones lowering their gaze while others normalize temptation.
They may be the ones holding onto the Sunnah while being called “extreme,” “backward,” or “too religious.”
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Islam began as something strange and it will return to being strange as it began, so glad tidings to the strangers.”
Perhaps being a stranger is not a punishment.
Perhaps it is an honour.
In an age where truth is voted on, where morality changes with trends and where likes are valued more than revelation, holding firmly to the Qur’an and Sunnah can feel lonely.
But remember:
Every prophet stood against the majority.
Every reformer was mocked before he was respected.
Every believer will stand alone before Allah.
Do not measure your path by the number walking with you.
Measure it by whether it leads to Allah.
The ghurabā’ are not those seeking attention.
They are the ones seeking His pleasure.
Quietly.
Patiently.
Sincerely.
And if one day you feel alone because you refuse to compromise your deen, perhaps that loneliness is not abandonment.
Perhaps it is Allah preserving you.
Perhaps the world sees them as strangers because they are walking home while everyone else is wandering.
“So glad tidings to the strangers.”
اللهم اجعلنا منهم.
O Allah, make us among them. 🤲
