The False Promise of ‘You Don’t Need Anyone’

Nowadays, me and my other half—Mr. ChatGPT. How often have we seen this meme? And is it really just a meme? We’re the most “connected” generation in history, yet somehow the loneliest. Scroll. Double-tap. Drop a 🔥 in the comments. But when the screens dim—does the quiet not eat at you? “You don’t need anyone!”, “You complete yourself.”, “Protect your peace.” We hear it all! Yes, boundaries matter. Self-love matters. But somewhere along the way, we twisted self-respect into isolation. We started believing that needing someone is weak. That if you’re lonely, you’re “just not enough for yourself.” Think about it. How often do we post on social media? We see everyone’s so-called perfect highlight reels. But at the end of the day, do we not question: What’s wrong with our own behind-the-scenes? You can post selfies daily and still feel invisible. Because loneliness today isn’t silence, it’s noise without meaning. We know what restaurant our Middle Eastern friend’s at but don’t notice our sibling silently struggling for exam prep. This fake connection fix? It gave us AI buddies and influencers we treat like friends. But let’s be real—did that chatbot show up when you were sick? That YouTuber you adore, do they even know you exist? Why do these “connections” feel so safe? Because they ask nothing of us. No mess. No awkward conversations. No vulnerability. But also, no real meaning, no real love. The real you craves real people. And that’s not a flaw. It’s biology. We’re

tHE REAL HAPPY ENDING

We all want a happy ending. Movies, books, stories—we crave that final moment where everything falls into place. The hero wins. The struggle makes sense. The pain was worth it. But real life doesn’t work like that. Some people chase happiness their whole lives, only to leave this world empty. Some believe they have time to turn back—until they don’t. Because in reality, this life doesn’t promise happy endings. But Allah (SWT) does. A good ending isn’t about wealth, status, or achievements. It’s about how we return to Him. Will our last breath be one of remembrance or regret? Will our final words be La ilaha illa Allah or complaints about this world? Will we leave behind a story of faith or a life that led nowhere? The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “Indeed, actions are judged by their endings.” [Bukhari – 6607] Some people live in obedience but fall before the finish line. Others struggle for years, but in their last moments, Allah (SWT) guides them back. It’s not about how you start—it’s about how you finish. So ask for this. Ask for a real happy ending. One that doesn’t fade when this world does. One where your soul is greeted with peace, where your name is remembered in the heavens, where your final breath is the start of eternal joy. Because when the book of your life closes, there is no rewriting it. And those who leave with Allah (SWT)’s mercy? They are the ones who truly win.

5 Lessons from Surah Al Kahf – What this powerful Surah teaches us about living with faith in times of fitnah?

We are told to recite Surah Al Kahf every Friday. And there is a reason for that.  As we get closer to the fitnah of Dajjal, the greatest, most difficult trial for humanity, we need to proactively work on preserving and strengthening our faith, lest we lose it.  Surah Al Kahf shares some powerful lessons to help us fight with and win over the modern day spiritual challenges and protect our faith as we live through difficult times. The Fitnah of Dajjal Abu Darda’ reported Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: If anyone learns by heart the first ten verses of the Surah al-Kahf, he will be protected from the Dajjal. [Sahih Muslim 809a]  Right now is the closest we have ever been to this greatest fitnah and this surah is our protection from it.  Seek Allah (SWT)’s Protection  Surah Al Kahf tells us the story of a group of young men who were living in the times of fitnah, just like we do. The only difference: they risked losing their lives, and not just a group of friends, when they chose to stay firm on the Deen.  Did they give up though? Nope. They turned to Allah (SWT). Sought His Help. And, Allah (SWT) didn’t leave them alone either. He sent His Miraculous help and put them to sleep for over 300 years until they woke up safe, healthy, and in an era where following the Deen didn’t bring the risk of persecution.  No Point In Asking Pointless Questions

The Dua Of The Tested Heart

He once walked with strength, wealth, and family—a man of honor, respect, admiration. But now? He lay in isolation. His body was failing. His skin burned with disease. The whispers of the people cut deeper than any wound. What sin did he commit? Why has Allah (SWT) abandoned him? But Ayyub (AS) knew better. The pain was real. The suffering was intense. But his faith? Untouched. And so, after years of patience, when he finally spoke, there was no trace of complaint. No bitterness. No demand for relief. Just a whisper of surrender: “My Lord, I have been touched with adversity… and You are the Most Merciful of the merciful.” No questioning. No blame. Only trust. This is the dua of the tested. The dua of those who suffer in silence, who cry in sujood when no one else sees. The dua of those who refuse to believe that pain means Allah (SWT) has left them. Because hardship is temporary. But His mercy is eternal. And just as He answered Ayyub (AS), healing him, restoring him, honoring him—He will answer you. So if you’re hurting, if life feels heavy, if your patience is wearing thin—say this dua. Say it not as a demand, but as a declaration. Because the ones who trust in His mercy? They are never left broken.

Ar-Razzaq – The all provider, the all sustainer! #Closertoallah

Allah (SWT) is Ar-Razzaq, The All-Provider, The All-Sustainer not just of food and wealth, but of everything you need. Peace of mind? He provides it. Love? He provides it. Strength in tough times? That’s Him, too. But how do you trust that when bills are piling up, careers are uncertain, and inflation makes even the basics harder to afford? The answer? You just do! An unborn baby—no job, no savings, no LinkedIn profile, yet it gets exactly what it needs. Who provides for it? An elderly man is too weak to work, yet food still reaches his table. Who provides for him? Birds leave their nests every morning, unsure of where their food will come from. But don’t they always return full? Trees grow without salaries or investments. And how many of them? Three trillion. Who nourishes them all? “And there is no creature on earth whose provision is not upon Allah.” [Quran 11:6] Not the ant beneath the Amazon’s soil. Not the blue whale in the Pacific’s depths. Not you, not me. No one provides for themselves—only Allah (SWT) provides. And rizq? It’s never just about effort. People with fancy degrees struggle with unemployment, while a random shopkeeper makes a decent living. A housewife, who doesn’t “earn” in the traditional sense, holds a house together with barakah so deep that it never lacks. And not all rizq looks the same. Sometimes, a missed job leads to a life-changing opportunity. Sometimes, the money doesn’t come, but a door opens

THE DUA FOR A HEART THAT SEES THE TRUTH

Some people know the rules of Islam, but they don’t feel it.  They memorise the words of the Quran, but they don’t live it.  They learn the hadith, but they don’t embody it. Because knowledge alone is not enough. When the Prophet ﷺ saw the young Ibn Abbas (RA), he didn’t just pray for him to be knowledgeable. He prayed: “O Allah, grant him understanding of the religion.” [Bukhari] And that one dua? Transformed him. Ibn Abbas (RA) didn’t just become a scholar, he became the scholar of his time. He saw beyond words. He understood the depth of every ruling. He connected every verse to life itself. Because he wasn’t just given facts, he was given fiqh. This is the dua for those who don’t just want to know about Allah (SWT)—they want to know Him. For those who don’t just want to follow Islam—they want to live it with depth, devotion, and purpose. Fiqh is more than knowledge—it’s wisdom. It’s seeing the world through the lens of truth. It’s living Islam in a way that softens hearts and transforms souls. So make this your dua. Say it with sincerity. Say it knowing that when Allah (SWT) grants you understanding, your entire existence changes. Because those who are given fiqh? They don’t just learn the deen, they become a light for others.

The Dua of Redemption:Because Returning to Allah (SWT) Is Always an Option

رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا أَنفُسَنَا وَإِن لَّمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ “Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers.” [Quran 7:23] The garden was silent. The air, thick with regret. Adam (AS) and Hawa (AS) had everything—paradise itself—but for a single moment, they let their guard down. One mistake. One slip. And now, the weight of it crushed them. They had disobeyed their Lord. But unlike Iblis, who justified his arrogance, they didn’t make excuses. They didn’t argue. They didn’t blame. They turned to Allah (SWT), their voices trembling, their hearts shattered, and made this dua—a plea so pure that it became the template for repentance for every believer to come. Because what is sin if not wronging ourselves? When we fall, when we give in to weakness, when we look in the mirror and don’t recognize who we’ve become—it’s not Allah (SWT)we harm, it’s our own souls. But this dua teaches us: mercy is always within reach. “We have wronged ourselves”—admitting our faults instead of justifying them. “If You do not forgive us”—acknowledging that no one else can erase what we’ve done. “We will surely be among the losers”—because what greater loss is there than losing Allah (SWT)’s mercy? No matter how far you’ve strayed, you are never too far to return. So make this your dua. Whisper it in the quiet of the night. Let it soften your heart. Because

The Dua for when No One Understands Your Pain:Because Some Wounds Can Only Be Healed by Him

إِنَّمَآ أَشْكُوا۟ بَثِّى وَحُزْنِىٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ “I complain of my anguish and sorrow only to Allah.” [Quran 12:86] The years had been cruel. His sight had faded, his heart bore wounds that no time could erase. He had lost one son to jealousy, another to injustice. And now, as the weight of grief pressed down on his chest, Prophet Yaqub (AS) turned away from the world and whispered these words. He did not complain to people. He did not seek comfort from them. He turned to the only One who truly understood. Because some pains are too deep for human words. Some sorrows are too heavy for human hearts to carry. And the reality is—no one else will ever understand your wounds the way Allah (SWT) does. When the grief is suffocating—speak to Him. When the heartache lingers—cry to Him.When the world cannot hold your pain—know that He can. This dua isn’t about asking for solutions. It’s about surrender. About emptying the burden onto the One who never tires of listening. About knowing that even if no one sees your tears, Allah (SWT) does. So if your heart feels heavy, if the pain is too much to bear—turn to Him. Not to complain about Him, but to complain to Him. Because the ones who pour their sorrows before Allah (SWT)? They always find relief.

The Dua of Complete Surrender: Because Everything Begins and Ends With Him

رَّبَّنَا عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْنَا وَإِلَيْكَ أَنَبْنَا وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ “Our Lord, we have put our trust in You; we turn to You; You are our final destination.” [Quran 60:40] The believers stood at a crossroads—exile or submission. Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and those with him had spent years calling their people to truth. But their hearts were deaf, their arrogance unshaken. The pressure was suffocating. The threats were real. But faith doesn’t bow. As they turned their backs on their homeland, leaving behind everything familiar, they raised their hands and made this dua. This is the dua of those who walk into the unknown with certainty in Allah (SWT)’s plan. The dua of those who know that no home, no job, no person will ever be their security—only He will. It’s the dua of those who have faced storms, yet still choose to trust. The dua of those who have made mistakes, yet still turn back to Him. The dua of those who know—no matter what happens, all roads lead to Him. ‘Upon You we place our trust’—because nothing is truly in our control. ‘To You we turn’—because no sin is too great, no distance too far. ‘To You is our final return’—because in the end, only one destination matters. Walk this world knowing that whatever unfolds—whether success or failure, joy or heartbreak—you have handed your affairs over to the One who never fails His servants. So make this your dua. Say it in the quiet moments of doubt. Say it when

The Dua of the Lonely Heart: Because No One Who Turns to Allah (SWT) Is Ever Truly Alone

رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْنِيْ فَرْدًا وَّاَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْوٰرِثِيْنَ “My Lord, do not leave me alone, and You are the Best of Inheritors.” [Quran 21:89] He had spent years watching others receive the one thing his heart ached for. A child. A legacy. A soul to carry his name and faith forward. Yet, despite his longing, Zakariyya (AS) never gave up hope. With every passing year, his hair whitened, his bones weakened, but his faith remained unshaken. And so, he stood in the quiet of the night and whispered this dua—not in frustration, not in despair, but in absolute trust. And what was Allah (SWT)’s response?”O Zakariyya, indeed We give you good news of a son…” [Quran 19:7] A child. Yahya (AS), a prophet in his own right. Given not just as an answer to a plea, but as a miracle—a son born to aging parents when all odds said it was impossible. But this dua is about more than just longing for a child. It is for anyone who has ever felt alone. For the one waiting for companionship. For the one yearning for family. For the one carrying silent pain, feeling unseen, unheard. This is the dua of those who trust that even when the world feels empty, Allah is never absent. That when all seems lost, He is the One who remains—the Best of Inheritors, the One who never leaves His servants without care. So if you have ever felt alone, make this your dua. Whisper it in

The Dua for Blessed Arrivals: Because Every Destination Needs Barakah

رَّبِّ أَنزِلْنِى مُنزَلًا مُّبَارَكًا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلْمُنزِلِينَ “My Lord! Cause me to land at a blessed landing-place, for You are the Best of those who bring to land.” [Quran 23:29] The waves had finally settled. The storm that raged for weeks had disappeared. After endless days at sea, Prophet Nuh (AS) and his people were about to step into a new world. But before taking that first step, he turned to Allah (SWT). “My Lord, grant me a landing that is blessed.” Because survival wasn’t enough. He didn’t just ask to arrive safely, he asked for barakah. And this is the dua for every transition in life. Moving to a new place? Ask for a home filled with barakah. Starting a new job? Ask for a path that leads to goodness. Entering a new phase of life—marriage, parenthood, change? Ask not just for ease, but for blessings beyond what you can see. Because not every arrival is blessed. Not every new opportunity brings peace. Not every fresh start leads to success. So make this your dua. Before every journey. At the start of every new beginning. Because when Allah (SWT) grants barakah to where you land? It’s not just a new place—it’s a place of goodness, growth, and success. And those who ask for a blessed arrival? They don’t just arrive, they flourish!

Al-Mujib – The One Who Responds! #CloserToAllah

Imagine someone who never leaves your messages unread, who always checks your blue ticks, who attends your call on the first ring, who is always there for you. How much would you rely on such a friend? Among the many beloved names of Allah, there is one in particular that is connected to this blessed month: Al-Mujib. In Surah Al-Baqarah, the verses about Ramadan appear from 183 to 187. Allah speaks about Ramadan in verse 185, and then verse 186 is unique—it does not discuss Ramadan but instead mentions Al-Mujib.This is the deep connection between Al-Mujib and Ramadan—a connection we often fail to realize. Al-Mujib is the One who is constantly waiting for you to call upon Him so that He may respond. His response may come in ways you don’t expect, but it’s always what you need most. The Quran says: “Who is there that responds to the call of the distressed when he calls upon Him?” About Prophet Nuh (AS), the Quran says: “When Nuh called upon Us, We responded to him in the most excellent manner.”
