Day 255
Capable of Everything
1 Rabi' al-Thani 1448
الْقَادِرُ
Al-Qādir — The Able
أَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَى أَن يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَى
Is not He (Who doeth so) Able to bring the dead to life
Surah Al-Qiyāmah (75:40)
Intention
Today, I will not rely on my own strength but on Al-Qādir's. The second half is His to carry.
Reflection
Al-Qādir in the second half of Ramadan — you are tired. The novelty has worn off. The hunger is familiar but no less demanding. And here is where Al-Qādir meets you: He who is capable of everything is capable of carrying you through the rest. The second half of Ramadan is where the real transformation happens — not in the enthusiasm of the first few days, but in the quiet endurance of the middle and the explosive devotion of the last ten.
On this verse
If He can raise the dead, He can revive your flagging energy in the second half of Ramadan.
Du'a
لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
There is no power nor strength except through Allah.
Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 4205
A treasure of Paradise — and in the middle of Ramadan, a lifeline.
Hadith
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'Shall I not guide you to a treasure of Paradise? Lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh.'
— Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 4205, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2704
