Ever wonder how resisting temptation truly rewards you? Can you forsake sin solely for Allah?

The closest star’s light takes years to reach us—mind-blowing, right?

In the Battle of Badr, 5,000 angels descended to aid the Muslims—but what triggered this divine intervention? Two powerful qualities unlocked this unseen support. Do you have them?

Allah has given everyone different abilities, appearances, and roles. Don’t wish for what others have—accept His decree. True comfort comes from embracing how Allah made you.

We face hardships, yet we take precautions, using the capacity Allah has given us. He knows the outcome, past, present, and future—even what will never happen and how it would have unfolded.

Saying “we believe” isn’t enough—Allah tests us to reveal our sincerity. Will we embrace our fitra and fulfill our purpose, or will we neglect the truth we were created to recognize?

Trusting Allah doesn’t mean neglecting safety. Just as we tie our camels, we must take precautions. Are we truly cautious, or are we using fate as an excuse for carelessness?
