سلطنتیں خاک ہو جاتی ہیں
الْمُذِلُّ
Al-Mudhill The Humbler
كُلُّ مَنْ عَلَيْهَا فَانٍ * وَيَبْقَى وَجْهُ رَبِّكَ ذُو الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ
Everyone that is thereon will pass away; There remaineth but the Countenance of thy Lord of Might and Glory
Surah Ar-Raḥmān (55:26-27)
ارادہ
Today, I will look at something I am attached to (a possession, a status, a comfort) and remind myself it is temporary.
تدبر
Al-Mudhill at cosmic scale humbles everything that rises in arrogance. Stars burn out. Mountains erode. Oceans evaporate. The mightiest empires in human history are now dust and ruins. Al-Mudhill's cosmic lesson is clear: nothing created is permanent. In Shaʿbān, this awareness is preparation, it strips away attachment to the temporary and redirects the heart toward the Eternal. Ramadan is more powerful when you enter it unattached to the world.
آیت پر تدبر
Everyone: kullu man ʿalayhā. No exceptions. Not a single created thing endures. Only His Face remains, and His Face is Majesty and Honour.
دعا
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ وَبِمُعَافَاتِكَ مِنْ عُقُوبَتِكَ
O Allah, I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your anger, and in Your pardon from Your punishment.
Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 486
Seeking refuge in one attribute of His from another. His pleasure from His anger, His pardon from His punishment. The deepest theological humility.
حدیث
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'This world is a prison for the believer and a paradise for the disbeliever.'
Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2956
