Power Without Effort

الْمُقْتَدِرُ

Al-Muqtadir — The Powerful

إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَنَهَرٍ * فِي مَقْعَدِ صِدْقٍ عِندَ مَلِيكٍ مُّقْتَدِرٍ

Lo! the righteous will dwell among gardens and rivers, Firmly established in the favour of a Mighty King

Surah Al-Qamar (54:54–55)

Intention

Today, I will remember that the challenges I face are effortless for Al-Muqtadir to resolve.

Reflection

Al-Muqtadir is The Powerful, The Determiner — the One whose power is executed effortlessly. Al-Qādir has the ability; Al-Muqtadir exercises it with perfect ease. He does not strain to create. He does not struggle to sustain. The universe is not heavy for Him. Your problem is not heavy for Him.
