Notice the pause.
Notice where the verse ends.
“Whoever is mindful of Allah ﷻ, He will make a way out for them.” (65:3)
We’re always told to have hope in God. Trust in God. Be conscious of God. Hold onto God in the moments most difficult to you. God will provide a way.

Then it ends. Full stop. The verse ends. That chapter of pain is now closed.

Syria and its plight is no stranger to us, even if it does fade from the news. Its casualties are many, and perhaps in light of them, many of the smaller difficulties seem trivial. Yet, to those who bare them, they are still painful to endure. Last night, we received news of the passing of…
Earlier this year, I was blessed to visit our Beloved Messenger ﷺ in the beautiful city of Madinah. Whilst there, I learnt a dear friend and teacher of mine had fallen ill and was admitted into hospital. As a small gesture, I recorded a short video making a dua’a for him before our Prophet ﷺ,…
Last March, I was blessed to visit our Prophet ﷺ and His blessed city. The journey was planned as a time of prayer and supplication for the success of the Quran Club ahead of our major launch in Ramadan, a project I had given everything for. During my visit, I went to see a 91…
As many of you know, the last 4.5 years I have spent working on an app called the Quran Club (www.quranclub.org). I have personally invested *everything* I have into making this work believing it to be something our community needs. Alhamdulillah, we have now reached *300,000* people reading over 700,000 pages in Ramadan alone!. …
