A Reflection on Surah Ad-Duha

There are days when everything feels too quiet. You pray, but the answers don’t come. You try, but nothing moves. You wonder if Allah is still listening.

Even the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ felt that.He went days without revelation. People mocked him. They said: “Your Lord has left you.”

And then came this Surah — like a warm embrace.

the morning light,And the stillness of night…Your Lord has not left you. He hasn’t turned away.

He never stopped watching you.He never stopped caring.Sometimes, silence is just space —Space for you to grow. Space for you to turn inwards and clean the dust off your heart. It’s not abandonment. It’s preparation.

What’s coming is better than what went.Yes, even if you can’t see it yet.Yes, even if everything right now looks like a dead-end.Allah is not done with you.

Soon your Lord will give you, and you will be pleased. Not just okay. Not just surviving. Pleased. Peaceful. Content.

Remember where you started?You had nothing. No guidance. No direction.And still, He picked you up.He gave you shelter when you were lost.He gave you purpose when you had none.He gave you enough when your hands were empty.

So now, don’t forget the others.The lonely ones. The tired ones. The struggling ones.bBe soft with them, the way Allah was soft with you.

And speak of His blessings. Don’t hide your light.

Don’t shrink from joy. Be grateful, and let it show.

Because even in your lowest point,You are not alone.Your Lord hasn’t left you.And He never will.

🕊️🤲 Ya Allah!

When I feel forgotten, remind me You never forget.

When I feel empty, fill me with Your light.

When life is quiet and heavy, help me trust that Your plan is still moving.

Give me from Your mercy until I am truly content.

🤲Ameen.
