Ramadan has come to an end with only one day left. Don't let it leave for you to go back to how you were before Al-Imām ibn al-Qayyim (رحمه الله) said: "The people of Istiqama (who sincerely obey Allāh with prudence) will try harder towards the end of their worship than at the beginning of their worship." "Verily, the deeds are only judged by their endings.” Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 6607

It's always important to remember that you could have all the knowledge in the world, but if your heart is hard and closed, none of the barakah will enter your life. The Prophet ﷺ informed us that if the heart is upright, the whole body will be upright, and if the heart is corrupt, the whole body will be corrupt. Ibrāhīm al-Khawwāṣ (raḥimahullāh) said, “Five things cure the heart: reciting the Qur’ān with tadabbur (reflection), an empty stomach, the night prayer, humbly supplicating to Allah (‘azza wa jall) before dawn, and keeping the company of the righteous.”

Here's a very easy to read and valuable PDF that addresses some arguments against the Quran's preservation. Although these aren't the most common arguments against Islam overall, they are the most common arguments regarding the Quran's authenticity. Let me know if you'd like access to more dawah sources.

I stumbled upon a book that I found at a store that focuses on how small, consistent changes in habits can lead to significant long-term results. I've only read about 19 pages and I am already in shock with the amount of facts that I've came across. The book is called "Atomic Habits" by James Clear, if you want to give it a read! “We make a few changes, but the results never seem to come quickly… and so we slide back into our previous routines.” (Page. 17) SubhanAllah, how many times have we tried to improve ourselves in business, in Deen, in habits only to give up because we didn’t see instant results? “And rationalizing little excuses, our small choices compound into toxic results.” (Page. 17) This line hit me. It reminds me of how Shaytaan doesn’t always attack us with big sins... sometimes it’s the small excuses that add up until we lose barakah, motivation, and purpose. But Allah ﷻ tells us in the Qur’an: “So be patient. Indeed, the promise of Allah is truth.” (Surah Ar-Rum 30:60) Keep pushing. Keep making those small, sincere changes. The fruits don’t always appear immediately, but Allah never lets effort go to waste — especially when it’s done with the right intention. If you’re building something like a business, a better mindset, a closer relationship with the Qur’an then don’t stop when it gets slow. 📿 Barakah takes time. Results are from Allah. Your job is to stay consistent. May Allah put sincerity in our hearts, barakah in our efforts, and sabr in our journey. Ameen
