Sustained by Grace

الْمُقِيتُ

Al-Muqīt — The Sustainer

وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُّقِيتًا

Whoso interveneth in a good cause will have the reward thereof, and whoso interveneth in an evil cause will bear the consequence thereof. Allah overseeth all things

Surah An-Nisāʾ (4:85)

Niat

Today, I will pause and thank Al-Muqīt for sustaining me — not just through this day, but through this entire year.

Renungan

Al-Muqīt integrated: you have been sustained through 326 days. Not by your own strength. Not by your discipline. By His grace. Al-Muqīt sustained your heartbeat, your faith, your desire to keep reading, your willingness to keep trying. The integrated life acknowledges this daily: I am sustained by grace, not by effort.
