The Muslim & Loneliness – 10 Verses for Reflection

Bismillah (In the Name of God)

When many Muslims think of Ramadan they can remember beautiful moments spent together as a family: eating suhoor1 and iftar2 , bustling into the car to make it to the masjid for taraweeh (late night congregational prayer), celebrating Eid together. Yet speaking to some reverts will reveal the deep sense of loneliness they can experience at iftar3 or on Eid day. This series had initially been intended for any revert brothers or sisters experiencing loneliness during Ramadan. However as I came to realise, this feeling of loneliness is not restricted to reverts or the month of Ramadan, so I hope it will be of benefit to whomever and whenever they feel utterly alone. Insha’Allah (God willing) this series will provide just 10 ayat (verses) to reflect upon from the Book of Allah, a Mercy, Healing, and source of Peace for the believers.

Number 1: “Whatever is in the heavens and earth exalts Allah, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.” (Qur’an 57:1)

DUA UPON WAKING (Morning Dua)

Is Breathable Nail Polish Sufficient for Wuḍū’?

My initial article on Inglot’s breathable nail polish was welcomed by many and severely critiqued by others. One of the main criticisms was that the experiment conducted by one of my students was inaccurate and could not be repeated with success. There were many people who reported successful results while several others who documented failure. Obviously, there are several variables that could lead to the experiment not working as it should.

Quranic Dua of the day

“O our Rabb! We have believed, so forgive us and have Mercy upon us. And you are the best of the Merciful” (Quran, Al-Mu’minun (23) : 109 )

Have utmost faith in Allah’s Mercy, and never lose hope 

Don’t forget to say “Ameen” after each Du’a!
