Reflections

Dear listeners


Today I want to share my reflection on verses 77-83 the end of Surah Yaseen that’s always stayed with me.

I love the structure of God’s reply:


It starts with a skeptical question:

“Who will bring these bones back to life after they’ve decayed?”


But see how Allah responds.

He doesn’t say, “Because I am God and I command it.”

He answers with gentleness.

He points us back to what we already see — the One who created us the first time, who brings fire from green trees, who created the sky and earth , who breathes life into what looks lifeless.


So reflect around you and be mindful within your life and see , Look closer: signs are already all around you.

Allah is inviting us to notice reflect think be mindful be grateful!


Then comes that simple truth:

“When He intends a thing, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” everything responds to Him.


And the surah closes with this:

“So glory be to Him in whose hand is the dominion of all things, and to Him you will be returned.”



A reminder that the One who began all things is the same One we return to — the same One holding everything together.


So reflect on this even in your daily lives.

if something in you feels past saving — a dream, a part of your faith, your hope —

remember, the God who brings fire from green trees can bring warmth back to your heart too.


Thanks for being in this journey with me 💐😌

Quran in English
Sura 26 The Poets.

Dear listeners,

Welcome to Sura 26 – Ash-Shu‘ara, The Poets,

a translation of its meanings from Quran.com.


As I reflect on this sura, I see lessons for our everyday lives:


It reminds us that faith gives us strength when life feels uncertain.


It shows us that even prophets faced rejection, yet they stayed patient — and so can we.


It teaches that true success isn’t in wealth or power, but in a heart connected to Allah.


When fear surrounds us, we remember how Allah opened a way for Musa with trust. So Trust in Allah and He will open a way for you.



May these reflections touch your heart, ease your soul, and guide you gently through your day.



Salam💐

Quran in English
Sura 27 The Ants.

Dear listeners welcome to Sura27 An-Naml (The Ants,

Personal Reflections and life coaching lessons from my readings of this Sura.


  1. ​Humility in Leadership (Story of Prophet Sulaymān عليه السلام & the Ants)
  • ​When Sulaymān heard the speech of the ant warning its colony, he smiled with gratitude instead of arrogance.
  • ​Lesson: True leadership means listening to even the smallest voices and protecting the weak, not ruling with pride.
  1. ​Gratitude as a Path to Blessing
  • ​Sulaymān prayed: “My Lord, inspire me to be thankful for Your favor upon me and my parents.”
  • ​Lesson: Gratitude brings humility, keeps blessings safe, and connects the heart to God.
  1. ​Wisdom in Communication (The Queen of Sheba)
  • ​When she received Sulaymān’s letter, she consulted her people and acted with patience, not haste.
  • ​Lesson: Before reacting, seek counsel, reflect, and choose the path of peace over war.
  1. ​Faith Beyond Power
  • ​Despite her throne and kingdom, the Queen of Sheba humbled herself and accepted the truth of Allah.
  • ​Lesson: Worldly power, wealth, and status mean little without surrender to the Divine.
  1. ​Every Creature Has Purpose
  • ​Even the ant is given speech, wisdom, and community.
  • ​Lesson: Nothing in creation is insignificant—every being glorifies Allah in its own way. Respect all life.
  1. ​Signs Everywhere
  • ​The surah emphasizes looking at creation as signs of God’s existence.
  • ​Lesson: If we slow down, we can see divine messages in nature, people, and everyday life.
  1. ​The Heart that Submits is the Real Treasure
  • ​In the end, the greatest wealth was not Sulaymān’s kingdom or the Queen’s throne, but their submission to Allah.
  • ​Lesson: Spiritual richness outshines material wealth.

Quran in English
Sura28 The Story.

Dear listeners,


I pray this message reaches you in good health and with a heart full of blessings. May these verses of the Qur’an bring light to your heart and warmth to your soul. I hope they inspire you to pause, reflect, and reevaluate your journey in life.



Storytelling is one of the most powerful ways our minds and hearts make sense of the world, of ourselves, and of those around us. At times, life feels overwhelming — and that’s okay. In those moments, return to the Qur’an. Read or listen to a few verses in Arabic or English, and allow everything else to fade away for a while. Let the rhythm of Allah’s words touch your heart and soul, for truly every part of us — even every cell — testifies to the Oneness of God.


As your life coach in this podcast, we will reflect together, using the Qur’an as our guide. Through our daily du‘a, we strengthen one another and ask Allah to fill our hearts with His love and shower us with His blessings, so that we may always remain grateful. Alhamdulillah.


Now, let us reflect: What life lessons can we apply from Surah 28, Al-Qasas (The Story)?




🌿 Life Lessons from Surah Al-Qasas

1. Allah’s plan is greater than human planning

• The story of Prophet Musa (Moses) shows how he was saved as a baby, raised in Pharaoh’s house, and later chosen as a messenger. What seemed dangerous was, in fact, part of Allah’s divine plan.

• Lesson: Even when life looks uncertain, trust Allah’s wisdom.

2. Oppression does not last forever

• Pharaoh ruled with arrogance and oppression, yet his power did not save him.

• Lesson: Injustice may seem powerful, but Allah’s justice always prevails.

3. Humility and gratitude lead to success

• Qarun (Korah) was wealthy but arrogant, boasting that his wealth was his own achievement. His arrogance led to his downfall.

• Lesson: True success is in humility and using blessings to serve others, not to glorify ourselves.

4. Turn to Allah in hardship and ease

• Musa turned to Allah in every stage: as a frightened youth, a refugee, and later as a prophet.

• Lesson: No matter where we are in life — struggling or stable — our refuge is always in Allah.

5. This world is temporary, the Hereafter is lasting

• Allah reminds us that the worldly life is fleeting, while the next life is eternal.

• Lesson: Anchor your heart in what lasts forever, not what fades.




✨ So, dear listeners, as we walk through our own challenges, let us remember the lessons of Surah Al-Qasas: trust in Allah’s plan, remain humble, resist arrogance, and always keep our eyes on the eternal home.

Sura 30 The Romans.

Dear listeners

We are in sura 30 with life lessons from Sūrah Ar-Rūm (The Byzantines)


Life Lessons from Sūrah 30

  • ​Defeat is not the end – your setbacks can become your greatest comebacks.

  • ​See beyond the surface – Don’t live only for the material. Nourish your soul with meaning and purpose in Love of Allah.
  • ​Signs are everywhere – In love, in nature, in the turning of day and night. Open your heart and remember Allah through His creations .


  • Today’s lunar eclipse is a reminder of the signs Allah places in the sky.


  • ​Be grateful in every state – Gratitude in joy, patience in pain—that’s where strength is born. Alhamdulilah


  • ​Stay true to your Belief in Allah– Hold firm to your values, even when the world shifts around you.

Sura31 Luqman.

Dear listeners,


We are reflecting today on Surah Luqman (Chapter 31)—a chapter that feels like coaching teaching us how to truly live with purpose and light.


It reminds us to be deeply grateful, to have unwavering faith in the One and Only God, and to nurture goodness both inwardly and outwardly. It calls us to honor our parents with love and respect, to raise our children in the name of Allah, and to cherish the vast blessings of the heavens, the earth, and the intricate ecosystem around us.


As I read these verses, my heart is filled with awe. I feel an overwhelming sense of love and gratitude for Allah—Who guides us, nurtures us, and showers us with endless blessings through the Qur’an.


May these words inspire us all to live gratefully, and keep our hearts connected to Him.

Sura 32 Bow Down in Worship.

Dear Listeners,


Welcome to Sura 32 – As-Sajdah (The Prostration/ Bowing Down in worship)


This surah calls us to bow in humility before our Creator, reminding us that life itself is a gift — health, family, love, and every blessing we enjoy. It teaches us that gratitude is not only felt in the heart but lived through action, and that every deed, seen or unseen, is counted and will be returned in full on the Day of Judgment.


In our daily lives, we can live the spirit of As-Sajdah by pausing to be thankful, by bowing our hearts in prayer, and by turning each act of kindness into worship. In every moment of gratitude, we draw closer to Allah.


Have a Blessed Day 💐

Sura33 The Joint Forces.

Dear listeners,


We are in Sūrah 33 – Al-Ahzāb

(The Confederates / The Joint Forces).


This chapter carries timeless lessons for our hearts:

• 🌸 Trust in Allah — When enemies gathered against the believers, Allah was their Protector and Guardian.

• 🌸 The Prophet’s noble role — He is a mercy, a guide, and the best example for us to follow.

• 🌸 Respect for the Prophet’s household — Honored and uplifted in this surah as a light for the community.

• 🌸 The strength of unity — Patience and standing together with faith lead to victory.

• 🌸 Allah’s knowledge of hearts — He knows every secret within us, for He is All-Knowing, All-Aware.




✨ “Allahumma salli ‘ala Muhammad.” ✨


Repeat it often…

• Your bad deeds will fall away.

• The weight of your worries will soften.

• And your goals will be guided toward fulfillment.
