Signs of Allah’s Mercy and Power | Surah Al-Furqan 25:45–49
Shaykh Mahmoud Khalil Al Husary رحمه الله was one of the most famous Qur’an reciters from Egypt. He was born in 1917 and passed away in 1980. He memorised the Qur’an at a young age and became known for his clear, slow and very accurate recitation and Tajweed. His recordings are still listened to around the world.
These beautiful verses from Surah Al Furqan 25:45–49 remind us to look at the everyday things around us and recognise Allah’s power and mercy. Allah tells us about the shade, the sun, the night, sleep, the day, the wind and the rain. He sends down pure water that brings dead land back to life, gives animals and people water, and provides the means for life.
The scholars of tafsir explain that the revival of dead land after rain is also a reminder of Allah’s power to bring us back to life after death. Something as ordinary as rain, therefore, becomes a sign of Allah’s mercy, power and provision.

Allah Controls Every Kingdom… So What Should a Believer Do When Life Falls Apart?
Duniya mein kisi ke paas bhi power, hukumat, authority, maal, izzat ya asar-o-rasookh apni zaati milkiyat mein nahi. Jo kuch kisi ko mila hai, Allah hi ke ikhtiyar aur mashiyyat se mila hai.
Allah farmata hai:
“Tu jis ko chahta hai hukumat deta hai aur jis se chahta hai hukumat cheen leta hai. Tu jis ko chahta hai izzat deta hai aur jis ko chahta hai zillat deta hai. Saari bhalai Tere hi haath mein hai. Beshak Tu har cheez par Qadir hai.” ( Sura Aal e Imran: Ayah 26)
Is liye duniya ki koi hukumat Allah ke ikhtiyar se bahar nahi.
Aaj koi hukmaran hai, kal nahi.
Aaj koi saltanat taqatwar hai, kal kamzor ho sakti hai.
Aaj koi qaum buland hai, kal uski jagah doosri qaum aa sakti hai.
Power ka milna bhi Allah ki taraf se hai aur power ka chhin jaana bhi Allah ke ikhtiyar mein hai.
Lekin iska matlab yeh nahi ke jis ko Allah ne hukumat di hai woh zaroor Allah ka pasandeeda hai. Hukumat kabhi ne’mat hoti hai, kabhi imtihan, aur kabhi kisi ke liye mohlat ya azmaish. Allah hi sab se behtar jaanta hai ke kis shakhs ya qaum ke saath kya hikmat hai.
Isi tarah izzat aur zillat bhi Allah ke haath mein hain.
Kabhi Allah kisi momin ko duniya mein tangi, kamzori, bimari, maal ki kami, job ka masla, business ka nuqsan, ghar ke masail ya kisi aur mushkil ke zariye azmata hai. Aur kabhi koi mushkil insaan ke apne gunahon ka nateeja ya tanbeeh bhi ho sakti hai.
Lekin hum kisi specific mushkil ko yaqini taur par Allah ki saza nahi keh sakte, kyun ke uski poori hikmat aur haqeeqat Allah hi jaanta hai.
Momin ka kaam yeh hai ke mushkil ke waqt mayoos na ho. Woh Allah par bharosa kare aur apne aap se pooche:
“Allah mujhe is haal mein kya sikha raha hai? Kya mujhe apni zindagi mein koi ghalat kaam chhorna hai? Kya mujhe Allah ki taraf wapas aana hai? Kya meri ibadat, mere aqeede, mere maamlaat aur mere akhlaq mein koi kami hai?”
Agar hum Allah ke faisle ko samajh na bhi saken, tab bhi hum yeh jaante hain ke Allah be-hikmat faisla nahi karta.
Usay hamara maazi maloom hai.
Usay hamara haal maloom hai.
Usay hamara mustaqbil maloom hai.
Usay hamare zahir ka bhi ilm hai aur hamare dilon ka bhi.
Hum sirf aaj dekhte hain.
Allah poori tasveer dekhta hai.
Is liye momin ka kaam Allah ke faisle ke saamne sabr, tawakkul aur rujoo ilallah hai, yaani Allah ki taraf lautna.
Agar mujhe koi health ka masla diya gaya hai, mujhe Allah se shifa maangni hai aur halal ilaaj karwana hai.
Agar job ya business mein mushkil hai, mujhe Allah par bharosa karte hue halal asbaab ikhtiyar karne hain aur apne maal aur kamai ko check karna hai.
Agar ghar mein biwi-bachon ke saath masail hain, mujhe apne rawaiye, insaf, huqooq aur zimmedariyon ko dekhna hai.
Agar zindagi mein koi aur imtihan hai, mujhe Allah se door hone ke bajaye Allah ki taraf aur qareeb hona hai.
Mera kaam yeh nahi ke main Allah ke faisle par Allah se shikwa karte hue toot jaaun.
Mera kaam yeh hai:
“Ya Allah, mujhe nahi pata is imtihan mein Teri kya hikmat hai, lekin mujhe yaqeen hai ke Tu jaanta hai. Mujhe is imtihan mein sahi rawayya ikhtiyar karne ki taufeeq de aur mujhe Apni taraf aur qareeb kar.”
Aur agar hum apni zindagi mein Allah ki na-farmani kar rahe hain, to humein sirf duniya ki mushkil door hone ki dua nahi karni chahiye.
Humein taubah bhi karni chahiye.
Zina chhorna hai.
Sood se bachna hai.
Jhoot chhorna hai.
Cheating chhorni hai.
Wada khilafi chhorni hai.
Maa-baap ki na-farmani se bachna hai.
Haram kamai se bachna hai.
Zulm se bachna hai.
Apne huqooq aur doosron ke huqooq ada karne hain.
Aur Allah ke saath apna aqeedah durust karna hai.
Shirk se bachna hai aur ibadat sirf Allah ke liye karni hai.
Qur’an ko sirf padhna nahi, samajhna aur us par amal karna hai.
Har ayat ko apni zindagi par apply karna hai:
“Allah mujhe is ayat ke zariye kya sikha raha hai?”
Aur jab hum Allah ki taraf sachchi tawbah aur ita’at ke saath qadam barhate hain, to humein Allah ki madad se umeed rakhni chahiye.
Lekin yahan bhi humein Qur’an ka balance yaad rakhna hai:
Muslimon ki duniyaavi kamzori ko sirf doosron ki sazish keh dena Qur’anic approach nahi.
Qur’an humein apne aamaal ka muhasabah bhi sikhata hai.
Allah farmata hai:
“Allah kisi qaum ki haalat nahi badalta jab tak woh khud apni haalat ko na badlein.”
— Surah al-Ra’d 13:11
Is liye agar hum chahte hain ke Allah hamari haalat badle, to humein apni zindagi badalni hogi.
Aqeedah durust karna hoga.
Ibadat durust karni hogi.
Muamlaat durust karne honge.
Akhlaq durust karne honge.
Haram se bachna hoga.
Taubah karni hogi.
Ek doosre par zulm aur dhoka chhorna hoga.
Aur Allah aur uske Rasool ﷺ ki ita’at ki taraf lautna hoga.
Hum ita’at ke paband hain; nateeja Allah ke ikhtiyar mein hai.
Bani Isra’il ki misaal humein yeh batati hai ke duniya ki sab se badi taqat bhi Allah ke saamne kuch nahi.
Fir’awn ke paas hukumat thi, lashkar tha aur zulm ki taqat thi. Woh Bani Isra’il ke beton ko qatl karta aur unki aurton ko zinda chhorta tha. Lekin jab Allah ka faisla aaya, to Fir’awn ki tamam taqat usay Allah ke faisle se na bacha saki.
Is liye power ka hona bhi imtihan hai aur power ka na hona bhi imtihan hai.
Hukumat milna imtihan hai:
“Main Allah ki di hui power ka kya karunga?”
Aur hukumat na milna bhi imtihan hai:
“Main kamzori ke waqt Allah par kitna bharosa rakhunga?”
Duniya ki izzat milna imtihan hai.
Duniya ki zillat ya mushkil bhi imtihan ho sakti hai.
Aur dono surat mein momin ka rasta Allah ki taraf hi hai.
Jo kuch aasmanon aur zameen mein hai sab Allah ka hai.
Aur jab sab kuch Allah ka hai, to mera maal bhi uska hai, meri sehat bhi uski amanat hai, meri family bhi uski amanat hai, meri job bhi uski ata hai, meri power bhi uski ata hai aur meri zindagi bhi usi ki di hui hai.
Is liye mujhe apni zindagi Allah ki marzi ke mutabiq guzarna hai.
Allah hi Maalik hai.
Allah hi Qadir hai.
Allah hi izzat dene wala hai.
Allah hi zillat se bachane wala hai.
Allah hi hukumat dene wala hai.
Allah hi hukumat cheenne wala hai.
Aur aakhir mein hum sab ko usi ki taraf laut kar jaana hai.
Mera kaam Allah ki ita’at hai.
Nateeja Allah ke haath mein hai.

Lekin yahan bhi humein Qur’an ka balance yaad rakhna hai:
Muslimon ki duniyaavi kamzori ko sirf doosron ki sazish keh dena Qur’anic approach nahi.
Qur’an humein apne aamaal ka muhasabah bhi sikhata hai.
Allah farmata hai:
“Allah kisi qaum ki haalat nahi badalta jab tak woh khud apni haalat ko na badlein.”
— Surah al-Ra’d 13:11
Is liye agar hum chahte hain ke Allah hamari haalat badle, to humein apni zindagi badalni hogi.
Aqeedah durust karna hoga.
Ibadat durust karni hogi.
Muamlaat durust karne honge.
Akhlaq durust karne honge.
Haram se bachna hoga.
Taubah karni hogi.
Ek doosre par zulm aur dhoka chhorna hoga.
Aur Allah aur uske Rasool ﷺ ki ita’at ki taraf lautna hoga.
Hum ita’at ke paband hain; nateeja Allah ke ikhtiyar mein hai.
Bani Isra’il ki misaal humein yeh batati hai ke duniya ki sab se badi taqat bhi Allah ke saamne kuch nahi.
Fir’awn ke paas hukumat thi, lashkar tha aur zulm ki taqat thi. Woh Bani Isra’il ke beton ko qatl karta aur unki aurton ko zinda chhorta tha. Lekin jab Allah ka faisla aaya, to Fir’awn ki tamam taqat usay Allah ke faisle se na bacha saki.
Is liye power ka hona bhi imtihan hai aur power ka na hona bhi imtihan hai.
Hukumat milna imtihan hai:
“Main Allah ki di hui power ka kya karunga?”
Aur hukumat na milna bhi imtihan hai:
“Main kamzori ke waqt Allah par kitna bharosa rakhunga?”
Duniya ki izzat milna imtihan hai.
Duniya ki zillat ya mushkil bhi imtihan ho sakti hai.
Aur dono surat mein momin ka rasta Allah ki taraf hi hai.
Jo kuch aasmanon aur zameen mein hai sab Allah ka hai.
Aur jab sab kuch Allah ka hai, to mera maal bhi uska hai, meri sehat bhi uski amanat hai, meri family bhi uski amanat hai, meri job bhi uski ata hai, meri power bhi uski ata hai aur meri zindagi bhi usi ki di hui hai.
Is liye mujhe apni zindagi Allah ki marzi ke mutabiq guzarna hai.
Allah hi Maalik hai.
Allah hi Qadir hai.
Allah hi izzat dene wala hai.
Allah hi zillat se bachane wala hai.
Allah hi hukumat dene wala hai.
Allah hi hukumat cheenne wala hai.
Aur aakhir mein hum sab ko usi ki taraf laut kar jaana hai.
Mera kaam Allah ki ita’at hai.
Nateeja Allah ke haath mein hai.

Me abhi buhat busy hon….
Kabhi kabhi hum zindagi mein itne masroof ho jate hain ke hum bhool jate hain ke hum asal mein yahan kyun hain.
Qur’an ki Surah Al-Mursalat (77) mujhe ek bohat gehri baat yaad dilati hai: ye duniya permanent nahi hai, lekin hamare actions ke consequences permanent ho sakte hain.
Allah baar baar ek hi warning dete hain:
“Afsoos hai us din jhutlaane walon k lye.” (Quran 77:15)
Phir Allah humari apni creation ki taraf tawajjoh dilate hain:
“Kya Hum ne tumhein ek haqeer pani se paida nahi kiya? Phir use ek mehfooz jagah mein rakha, ek muqarrar waqt tak?” (Quran 77:20–22)
Socho… jo Allah humein ek bohat chotay se paani k qatray se paida kar sakta hai, kya woh humein dobara zinda nahi kar sakta?
Phir Allah aasman, sitaron, paharon, zameen aur pani ki taraf ishara karte hain. Ye sab sirf khoobsurat cheezein nahi… ye signs hain.
Aur phir woh din aayega jab insaan ke paas bahane banane ka mauqa nahi hoga:
“Ye woh din hai jab woh bol nahi sakenge, aur na hi unhein ijazat di jayegi ke woh uzr pesh karein.” (Quran 77:35–36)
Duniya mein hum keh sakte hain:
Baad mein namaz parhunga.
Baad mein tauba karunga.
Abhi zindagi enjoy karne do.
Abhi mere paas waqt hai.
Lekin kya humein yaqeen hai ke baad mein humein waqt milega?
Aur sab se khoobsurat baat ye hai ke Qur’an sirf punishment ki warning nahi deta. Allah un logon ke liye jinhon ne taqwa aur ihsan ikhtiyar kiya, un k lye saaye, paani k springs aur khaane k lye phalon ka zikr karte hain (77:41–44).
Surah ka aakhri sawal dil ko hila dene wale hain:
“Phir is (Quran) kay baad woh kis baat par iman laayenge?” (77:50)
Shayad ye sawal sirf un logon ke liye nahi jo Islam ko reject karte hain.
Shayad hum sab ko khud se poochna chahiye:
Allah ki kitni reminders ke baad main apni zindagi badalunga?
Allah farmatay hain k jo Allah ki nishanian dekh ker aur khud apni creation ko dekh ker bhi emaan nahi laya aur jab usko namaz k lye bulaya gaya to namaz nahi parhi… un logon k lye tabahi hai…
Agar Qur’an mein Allah ka message hamare paas maujood hai, agar zindagi aur maut hamare saamne har roz hain, aur agar hum jaante hain ke ek din Allah ke saamne kharay hona hai, to phir hum kis cheez ka intezar kar rahe hain?
Allah hum sab ko haq ko pehchanne, usay qabool karne aur us par amal karne ki taufeeq de. Ameen.

Kya Allah se doori ka ehsaas ho raha hai?
Kabhi aisa hota hai ke insaan ke paas sab kuch hota hai, lekin phir bhi dil ke andar ek ajeeb si khaali jagah hoti hai.
Log aas paas hote hain, phone haath mein hota hai, entertainment hoti hai, paisa hota hai, plans hote hain…
Lekin dil ko sukoon nahi milta.
Hum aksar us khaali pan ko duniya ki cheezon se bharne ki koshish karte hain.
Nayi cheez khareedte hain.
Naye logon se milte hain.
Travel karte hain.
Entertainment mein busy rehte hain.
Phir bhi woh khaali pan wapas aa jata hai.
Kyun?
Kyun ke dil jis Zaat ke liye banaya gaya hai, hum usi se door ho gaye hain.
Allah Qur’an mein farmata hai:
“Sun lo! Allah ke zikr hi se dilon ko itminan milta hai.”
Qur’an 13:28
Ho sakta hai humen duniya ki aur cheezon ki zaroorat nahi.
Ho sakta hai humen Allah ki taraf wapas aane ki zaroorat hai.
Aaj raat sirf 5 minute ke liye duniya ko side par rakho.
Wudu karo.
Do rakat parho.
Phir Allah se apni zubaan mein baat karo.
Apna dard batao.
Apni ghaltiyan batao.
Apni pareshaaniyan batao.
Aur Allah se kaho:
“Ya Allah, main door ho gaya hoon. Mujhe apni taraf wapas le aa.”
Allah ka darwaza abhi bhi khula hai.

I was reading and pondering over one Qur’an verse, and it struck me how many reflections can come from just one ayah
I was reading Surah Ar-Ra’d 13:4, and I stopped for a while to think about it. The verse is talking about something seemingly ordinary: land, plants, water and fruit.
Allah says:
وَفِي الْأَرْضِ قِطَعٌ مُّتَجَاوِرَاتٌ وَجَنَّاتٌ مِّنْ أَعْنَابٍ وَزَرْعٌ وَنَخِيلٌ صِنْوَانٌ وَغَيْرُ صِنْوَانٍ يُسْقَىٰ بِمَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ ۖ وَنُفَضِّلُ بَعْضَهَا عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ فِي الْأُكُلِ ۚ إِنَّ
فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ
“And within the land are neighboring plots and gardens of grapevines and crops and palm trees, [growing] several from a root or otherwise, watered with one water; but We make some of them exceed others in [quality of] fruit. Indeed, in that are signs for a people who reason.”
— Qur’an 13:4
I started thinking about what Allah is asking us to notice here.
1. Neighboring land can produce different results
The verse begins with قِطَعٌ مُّتَجَاوِرَاتٌ — neighboring plots.
They can be right next to each other, yet their characteristics and what they produce can differ.
It reminded me that proximity doesn’t mean sameness.
Two people can grow up in the same family, attend the same school, work in the same environment, or have apparently similar opportunities—and still become completely different people.
2. The same water can produce different fruit
This part really made me stop:
يُسْقَىٰ بِمَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ — “They are watered with one water.”
Yet Allah says:
وَنُفَضِّلُ بَعْضَهَا عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ فِي الْأُكُلِ — “We make some of them exceed others in fruit.”
Same water. Different results.
As a reflection, this made me think about life.
Similar circumstances and similar effort do not necessarily guarantee identical outcomes.
Two people can work equally hard and still receive very different results.
That doesn’t automatically mean one was lazy or the other deserved more. There are countless factors we don’t see.
3. Don’t judge someone’s effort purely by their outcome
We often look at someone’s success and assume:
“They must have worked harder.”
And when someone fails:
“They obviously didn’t try enough.”
But the verse gives us an example where the visible conditions can be similar while the outcome is different.
Effort matters. Causes matter. Planning matters.
But the outcome is never completely in our hands.
4. External circumstances aren’t the whole story
The plants are receiving water, but the result isn’t identical.
This reminded me that what we can see isn’t necessarily everything that is happening.
We often judge people by their circumstances:
“He had the same opportunity.”
“She had the same education.”
“They had the same resources.”
But we don’t see everything that exists beneath the surface.
5. Being close to someone doesn’t mean you’ll become like them
قِطَعٌ مُّتَ****جَاوِرَاتٌ — neighboring plots.
Two pieces of land can be next to one another and still produce differently.
Likewise, two people can be surrounded by the same environment and make completely different choices.
Environment influences us, but it isn’t the entire story.
6. The same message can reach different hearts
The Qur’an can be heard by two people.
One person hears it and becomes humble.
Another hears exactly the same words and becomes more resistant.
The message is the same, but the response can be completely different.
So when giving dawah, perhaps our job is not to obsess over controlling the result.
Our job is to convey, explain, advise and make dua. Guidance ultimately belongs to Allah.
7. Don’t constantly compare your “fruit” with someone else’s
This one hit me personally.
If Allah has created different plots of land that produce different fruit despite being watered with the same water, why do we assume that everyone else’s life should produce the same results as ours?
Maybe someone else’s test is different.
Maybe their provision is different.
Maybe their responsibilities are different.
Maybe Allah is taking them through a completely different path.
Comparison can make us ungrateful for what Allah has actually given us.
8. Different results don’t necessarily mean different worth
A tree producing less fruit isn’t necessarily worthless.
Likewise, someone’s life doesn’t become less valuable because they haven’t achieved what someone else has achieved.
We live in a world obsessed with measuring people by:
money, career, status, followers, achievements and possessions.
But Allah may measure things very differently from us.
9. And then comes the ending…
After describing all of this, Allah says:
إِنَّ** **فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ
“Indeed, in that are signs for a people who reason.”
That’s what really struck me.
Allah takes something we see every day—land, water, plants and fruit—and tells us there are signs in it for people who actually stop and think.
The verse isn’t merely saying:
“Look at these plants.”
It’s saying:
Look. Think. Reflect. Reason.
And perhaps that’s one of the beautiful things about the Qur’an.
You can read one ayah repeatedly and keep discovering new things to think about.
Obviously, these reflections shouldn’t be confused with saying that every one of these points is the literal tafsir of the verse. The primary context is Allah’s signs in creation, and the classical mufassirūn discuss the differences in land, plants, fruit and Allah’s power and wisdom.
But the Qur’an itself tells us to reason and reflect.
So I wanted to share this because I found it amazing that one ayah about neighboring land, one water and different fruit can make you think about effort, outcomes, comparison, human nature, guidance, provision, and ultimately Allah’s wisdom.
Maybe we should spend less time rushing through the Qur’an and more time stopping at an ayah and asking:
“What is Allah asking me to notice?”

Is it wise to turn Political Criticism into Slander?
There is something deeply disturbing about the way we speak about women in Pakistani politics and showbiz.
Whether it is Bushra Bibi, Maryam Nawaz, Benazir Bhutto, Maryam Aurangzeb, Kashmala Tariq, Mahira khan or any other woman in public life, people often move beyond political criticism and start abusing them, insulting their character, and making accusations about their private lives and alleged *haram* relationships.
You may disagree with a woman’s politics or showbiz. You may believe she should not be involved in politics or in media industry from an Islamic perspective. You may strongly criticise her policies, decisions or political conduct.
But none of that gives us permission to destroy someone’s honour without evidence.
Allah says:
“Those who accuse chaste women and do not produce four witnesses, flog them with eighty lashes and reject their testimony ever after. They are the defiantly disobedient.”
— Qur’an 24:4
And Allah gives an even more serious warning:
“Indeed, those who accuse chaste, unsuspecting, believing women are cursed in this world and the Hereafter, and they will have a great punishment.”
— Qur’an 24:23
Think about that.
We often say these things casually because the person is famous, politically opposed to us, or because we assume, “It doesn’t matter, she will never hear what I said.”
But Allah heard it.
The fact that our words may never reach that woman does not mean they disappear. Every accusation, insult, lie and piece of gossip can become part of our record of deeds.
Before forwarding a video, sharing a WhatsApp message, repeating a rumour or making an accusation about someone’s character, ask yourself:
Do I actually know this to be true?
Can I prove it?
Would I be prepared to answer for these words before Allah?
Political disagreement does not cancel someone’s dignity. And being a woman in politics does not make someone’s honour a free target.
We can criticise politicians without abusing them.
We can oppose their ideology without inventing allegations.
We can condemn their actions without attacking their character.
Our tongues are easy to move, but the consequences of those words may be very heavy in the sight of Allah.
On the Day when every word is accounted for, “I was only joking”, “everyone was saying it”, or “I heard it somewhere” may not be an acceptable excuse.

Is it justified to curse people who dedicate their lives to serving Islam?
People who are truly conscious of Allah learn to protect their personal time from things that distract them from the remembrance and worship of Allah. For example, some people spend hours playing sports, watching movies, listening to songs, scrolling through social media, joking and laughing, or simply wasting time online. But a believer understands that time is a precious blessing and that it should not be wasted on laghw (vain and useless things).
Allah describes the qualities of successful believers in the first ten verses of Surah Al-Mu’minun. Allah says:
“Certainly will the believers have succeeded: those who are during their prayer humbly intent, and those who turn away from al-laghw (vain talk and useless activities).”
— Qur’an 23:1–3
Unfortunately, many Muslims who are less practising become so absorbed in their careers and worldly lives that they neglect Salah, do not regularly attend the masjid, and rarely read the Qur’an with understanding and translation. The Qur’an is a book of guidance, but if we do not read it, how can we expect to understand the guidance of Allah?
When our connection with the Qur’an becomes weak, our understanding can become distorted, doubts can enter our hearts, and Shaytan takes advantage of that weakness to push us further away from the path of Allah.
We often prefer spending hours laughing, joking, watching entertainment and scrolling through social media rather than going to the masjid, praying Salah and connecting with Allah. We have also forgotten that calling people towards Allah and encouraging good is an important responsibility of the Muslim Ummah.
Yet, despite spending so little time serving the Deen ourselves, some of us are quick to criticise the Imams, Muftis, scholars and people who dedicate their lives to the masajid and to serving the Deen of Allah. Many of these people sacrifice their time, wealth, comfort and opportunities for the sake of Allah. They could work longer hours, earn more money and live more luxurious lives, but they have understood that worldly wealth is temporary and that what truly benefits a person is what they send forward for the Hereafter.
Allah says:
“And who is better in speech than one who invites to Allah and does righteousness and says, ‘Indeed, I am of the Muslims.’”
— Qur’an 41:33
We should therefore look at ourselves before criticising those who dedicate their lives to the Deen. Perhaps the problem is not that they are spending too much time in the masjid; perhaps the problem is that we are spending too little time with Allah.

Why has getting married become so complicated? Can it ever become simple again?
This is something I genuinely wonder about.
Why do we make marriage so difficult for brothers and sisters? Have we created such long checklists that almost nobody can meet them anymore?
Instead of looking for reasons to accept a potential spouse, it often feels like we’re looking for reasons to reject them. If someone wants to move forward quickly, people become suspicious and assume there must be something wrong. If someone takes too long, they’re seen as not serious.
As marriage gets delayed, many Muslim men and women spend years struggling with temptation. Some fall into haram relationships, others become addicted to pornography, and many carry emotional and spiritual burdens that could have been avoided had marriage been made easier. While everyone is responsible for their own actions, unnecessarily delaying marriage can make these struggles even harder.
In many cases, culture and ethnicity are given more importance than Islam. We reject people because of their language, nationality, skin colour, height, body size, or even their English accent. Yet Islam teaches us that faith and righteous character should be among the most important qualities we seek in a spouse.
For many people, the biggest deciding factors are money, career, social status, the car they drive, the house they own, the passport they hold, or the lifestyle they can provide. We worry more about what our family, relatives, and friends will think than what Allah thinks.
The Prophet ﷺ taught us to prioritise deen, taqwa, and righteous character. Instead, many of us have reversed those priorities. We put worldly success first and faith second, then wonder why marriages are delayed, difficult, or lacking barakah.
Of course, compatibility, attraction, and practical considerations matter. Nobody is saying they don’t. But have we allowed those things to overshadow the qualities that Allah and His Messenger ﷺ told us to value most?
If we truly want to protect ourselves and future generations from fitnah, shouldn’t we be making halal easier instead of making it harder?
What do you think has made marriage so difficult today, and how can we as a community change that?

Has anyone here genuinely changed their life through constant Istighfar?
I’m not asking about temporary motivation. I’m asking about real transformation.
Have you ever reached a point where you sincerely repented to Allah, made Istighfar a daily habit, and noticed your heart, character, and priorities changing?
How long did it take to leave the sin? What practical steps helped you stay consistent? Did your relationship with the Qur’an, Salah, or your family change as a result?
Sometimes we spend years chasing this dunya, only to realise that death can come at any moment. We all know our final destination is the Akhirah, yet our daily actions often don’t reflect that reality.
I’d love to hear genuine stories from people who turned back to Allah. Your experience might be the reason someone else finds the strength to repent before it’s too late.
May Allah forgive us all, accept our repentance, make us among those who remember Him often, and allow us to meet Him with a heart that is sincere. Ameen.
