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.
