The beauty of this world lies in the beauty of your relationship with God. If you desire a beautiful life, live it as your Lord wants, not as you desire. Be patient with acts of worship, Be patient in avoiding forbidden deeds, And be patient with painful destinies, To hear this ayah from Allah swt and his angel “Peace be upon you for what you patiently endured. How excellent is the final abode!”

Holding on to Allah "Hold on to Allah, He ˹alone˺ is your Guardian. What an excellent Guardian, and what an excellent Helper! " We, Human beings are constantly under attack, always fighting one battle or the other, more than anyone else, we damage our own selves, we keep pulling ourselves down, sometimes its guilt, other times it's shame, or a sense of failure. Negative self talk has become a part of most of our lives.

The weather is changing, and many of us, along with our children, are falling ill. These moments of sickness remind me how fragile we are and how quickly our strength can fade. When we are healthy, it’s easy to forget how precious that time is. We live as though our energy and freedom will last forever, taking our health for granted. But illness, and even the thought of old age, serves as a wake-up call—health is not just for enjoyment; it’s a gift, an opportunity to do good and prepare for what lies ahead. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) also warned us: “Take advantage of five before five: your youth before your old age, your health before your illness, your wealth before your poverty, your free time before your work, and your life before your death.” (Musnad Ahmad) This make me reflect on how much of my time I waste in distractions. May Allah forgive me for the time I have lost and for the opportunities I have neglected. May He guide us to use our health and strength in ways that please Him before these gifts are taken away.

Islam corrected the doctrine of original sin that misled people into believing that the first sin was Adam's eating from the forbidden tree. Instead, the Qur'an establishes that the 1st sin was committed by Satan when he refused to prostrate to Adam as commanded by Allah, due to RACISM. We read Allah's words: "He said, “What prevented you from prostrating yourself when I commanded you?” He said, “I am better than him; You created me from fire and created him from clay.” (Qur'an 7:12). This is akin to saying "I am white and he is black," or "I am European and he is Arab," or "I am Arab and he is Indian." Thus, Allah replied: "He said, “So get down from it, for it is not for you to behave arrogantly in it. So get out! You are indeed one of the belittled!” (Qur'an 7:13). Satan's arrogance due to racial difference was the reason for the first sin in history, and for his expulsion from Paradise, thus establishing the Muslim creed that Racism was the first sin (the original sin), and that there is no place in Paradise for racists. This understanding can guide humanity toward resolving many of the social and moral issues we face today.
