In times like these, we are reminded of a powerful truth: people are not only fed by food, they are fed by Iman. Alhamdulillah, many of us eat comfortably each day. Yet, a question lingers: am I also feeding my soul with faith? Because while food nourishes the body, Iman nourishes the heart. Food can be taken away. But Iman, if held firmly, can never be taken. Allah ﷻ warns us, وَلَا تَحۡسَبَنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَافِلًا عَمَّا يَعۡمَلُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَۚ إِنَّمَا يُؤَخِّرُهُمۡ لِيَوۡمٖ تَشۡخَصُ فِيهِ ٱلۡأَبۡصَـٰرُ Do not think, O Prophet, that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them until a Day when eyes will stare in horror. [Ibrahim 14:42] When we see streets bombed into rubble, when starvation fills our screens, when land theft and oppression mount, our hearts ache and whisper: Where is the help of Allah? And the Qur’an answers: hold fast to faith. Allah has already written the end of the story, وَلَقَدۡ كَتَبۡنَا فِي ٱلزَّبُورِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ٱلذِّك...
may it be a constant reminder towards achieving Allah's blessings
