Embracing Your Divine Purpose and Allah’s Boundless Mercy

Finding Purpose and Trusting in Allah’s Mercy

The Quran reminds us in Surah Al-Mu’minun 

“Then did you think that We created you uselessly?” 23:115

This powerful verse reassures us that every creation of Allah has a purpose. No human, animal, bird, or insect is sent into this world without a divine reason. Every individual carries a unique purpose, even if it remains unrecognized until the appointed time.

Yet, many of us spend our lives questioning our worth, consumed by thoughts of inadequacy, sinfulness, or rejection. We fear that others dislike us or that our sins make us unworthy of Allah’s forgiveness. This self-doubt is often fueled by Satan, whose mission is to sow uncertainty about ourselves and Allah in our hearts. Instead of succumbing to these doubts, we must anchor ourselves in our faith and maintain a positive outlook about ourselves and Allah’s mercy.

Allah’s mercy surpasses our shortcomings. No matter the weight of our sins, His forgiveness is rooted in His infinite compassion, not our own merits. As humans, we are all sinners—no one is perfectly righteous. The best among us are those who sincerely repent and turn back to Allah. Claiming to be sinless is a falsehood, for every person errs. True virtue lies in seeking forgiveness and striving to improve.

Rather than comparing ourselves to others—such as those who pray diligently or perform regular dhikr—we should draw inspiration from them. Instead of dwelling on our perceived flaws, we should pray to be counted among the righteous. Let us trust that even if the world rejects us, Allah loves us and is ready to forgive.

We must stop overthinking and allowing negativity to make us mentally unwell. Replace thoughts of being “the worst” with hope in Allah’s mercy and acceptance. Let us strive to emulate the virtuous, remain steadfast in our deen, and trust in Allah’s plan for us.

O Allah, include us among those who are righteous, destined for Paradise, whose deeds are accepted, and who enter Jannah without accountability. Open the gates of Paradise for us and free us from fear. 

Ameen!

Guarding The Command A Journey Of Hijab

Image
    The Hijab is the most precious crown for every Muslim girl. To keep this crown upon her head, every Muslim girl must navigate a path of hardships, enduring people’s taunts, mockery, and sarcastic remarks. Every girl, in her journey of Hijab, inevitably bears some pain. Whether among her own family, or at school, college, and university, the words that fall from people's tongues are a great trial for a modest girl striving to follow Allah’s commands. To carry His commandments until one's final journey is no less than walking on hot coals for the sake of Allah. I realized that, like me, there must be so many girls walking on embers to protect their modesty, enduring the taunts of family, friends, colleagues, and relatives just to uphold their haya . Therefore, to motivate those girls, I am going to share my journey, from the Dupatta to the Abaya—solely for the sake of Allah. I want to reach those who are afraid to wear the Hijab or Abaya because of the world’s narrow-minded ...

How Woman Carries Her Inner Pain

Image
  A girl stores so much inside herself: people’s sarcastic comments, taunts, anger, unnecessary scolding, and so much more. A girl always wishes she had someone who would listen to her, comfort her, appreciate her work, feel the suffocation inside her, and say a few kind words with love. But when she wants to open her heart to someone and finds no one willing to listen, she makes her pen and diary her closest friends. When she goes to her siblings to share her thoughts, and they consider her words meaningless or useless, she breaks from the inside. A girl tolerates things that are almost impossible to describe. Some girls’ own parents don’t listen to them, keep their distance, and ignore their feelings. And so, she keeps getting exhausted deep within herself. She bears everything silently, as if she is no longer alive from the inside, like her feelings have died. She forgets how to laugh, cry, speak, or talk to others. And when she starts distancing herself from everyone, people sa...

Women

Image
When a girl is born, she is born under the mercy and kindness of Allah, and until her death she lives only by Allah’s mercy. And besides Allah, who else can truly take care of a human being? From the age of 10, a girl is told that she belongs to another house, but boys are never taught that someone will give them their nurtured daughter, and they must know how to honor her and treat her. Instead, the girl is reminded every day that she is only being raised in her parents’ home, that it is not truly her home. A girl has no real home except two yards of land for her grave. Because before marriage she lives a life of being “a stranger” in her parents’ home, and after marriage she becomes dependent on her husband. And if the husband is not good, not religious, not a man of correct faith, her life becomes a hell. Yet even then, the blame is put on the girl, she is always considered the bad one. Why is society always so quick to accuse the girl? Are boys born like angels? Are they born with...
