Before Everything, Him
الْأَوَّلُ
Al-Awwal — The First
هُوَ الْأَوَّلُ وَالْآخِرُ وَالظَّاهِرُ وَالْبَاطِنُ ۖ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ
He is the First and the Last, and the Outward and the Inward; and He is Knower of all things
Surah Al-Ḥadīd (57:3)
Niyet
Today, I will rest in the knowledge that Al-Awwal was there before I began, and Al-Ākhir will be there after I end.
Tefekkür
Al-Awwal: before your birth, before this book, before your first prayer — He was. Al-Awwal was there before you needed Him, preparing everything you would ever need. The journey you took this year was prepared before you were born.
