Restoration

الْمُعِيدُ

Al-Mu‘īd — The Restorer

كَمَا بَدَأَكُمْ تَعُودُونَ ۗ

Say: My Lord enjoineth justice. And set your faces upright (toward Him) at every place of worship and call upon Him, making religion pure for Him (only). As He brought you into being, so return ye (unto Him)

Surah Al-A‘rāf (7:29)

ارادہ

Today, as Safar closes, I will name one thing that faded from my life and ask Al-Mu‘īd to bring it back — or to bring something better.

تدبر

Al-Mu‘īd is The Restorer — the One who brings things back. What was lost can be returned. What was broken can be rebuilt. What died can live again. Al-Mu‘īd does not only create new things; He restores what existed before. Your hope, your energy, your connection to Him — if any of these have faded, Al-Mu‘īd can bring them back.

آیت پر تدبر

You will return. Not “you might” or “you could.” You will. The return is certain, and the One who originated you is the same One who will restore you.

دعا

The du’a of someone who has experienced loss. Not asking for the same thing back, but trusting Al-Mu‘īd to restore with improvement.

حدیث

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “For every distress there is a relief, for every tightness there is a way out.”
