Assalamualaikum Dear Sister,
Jazakallah Khair for this very thought provoking article. I specially loved the example of the lights in the lecture hall – truly, Alhamdullilah, we as muslims have truly been blessed with a special flashlight called ‘Iman’in our heart & it is upto us to dig it out from the darkness we have surrounded it with while we live this busy dunya life.
May Allah reward you for your reminders.
A sister in faith

Masha Allaah. Such a beautiful narrative. Everything on Earth is ephemeral and like the snow, it will all melt away. The Aakhirah is truly a worthy destination.
