Every single success you experience is a combination of two things: your effort and Allah's help. When you don't put in enough effort, Allah does not give His barakah. And sometimes you might put in a lot of effort but you may not see the result you expected. That, also, is Allah's barakah.
Nouman Ali KhanI look back and half of Ramadan is over in the blink of an eye. Before I know I'll be saying that about my entire life
Nouman Ali KhanForgiving someone isn't just about doing good to another. It's also about healing a scar in your own heart.
Nouman Ali KhanIt is not true that if we had true faith we would not be sad. Prophets (as), and righteous people experienced a great deal of sadness. The Quran is full of stories in which the central theme is sadness. Sadness is a reality of life. The Quran is not there to eliminate sadness, but to navigate it. Sadness is one of the tests of life, just as happiness, and anger are tests.
