A gentle reminder, assalamu alaikum

Assalamu alaikum. To anyone who wakes up, eats breakfast, scrolls their phone and wonders… “what kind of world is this?” - that’s me today, and Alhamdulillah I’m grateful Allah guided me to Islam. We see rich and powerful people getting away with terrible things, billionaires tossing crumbs to the 99% to boost their image, and nonstop hypocrisy to excuse evil and dodge justice. And of course the suffering in Gaza and Palestine is heartbreaking every single day. When I start to feel hopeless and think these people won’t be held to account here, I remember Allah. Everyone will be held accountable in the end. A wealthy person can build the finest tomb, but they can’t take any of it with them. All the money they spend shaping a false image - it won’t fool Allah. Every deed is recorded, no matter how much they try to hide it. I don’t mean to make things seem darker; I’m reminding myself and my brothers and sisters to turn back to Allah. Block out the noise, remember our responsibilities as Muslims. We can’t control everyone’s actions, and that’s okay - we weren’t meant to - but we can try to make the world better by being righteous and kind. May Allah increase our iman and give us the strength to trust Him every day. Ameen.
