Day 326
Sustained by Grace
12 Jumada al-Thani 1448
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)
Intention
Today, I will pause and thank Al-Muqīt for sustaining me — not just through this day, but through this entire year.
Reflection
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.
On this verse
Over all things — including your reading of this page right now. He is sustaining you through it.
