Be A GOOD MUSLIM

Broken But Beloved by Allah

To The Kind Souls....
Who whisper du’as through tears,
Who wake up to broken dreams but still say Alhamdulillah,
Who carry silent storms yet walk with grace,
Who feel unseen by the world but are known and loved by Ar-Rahman.
This chapter is for you.
May you always remember: even when life breaks you,
You are never less beloved by Allah.

"To every kind soul — if I forgot to mention your name, know that you dwell in my du'as. May Allah wrap your hardships in His mercy, end them with beauty, and open doors for you from where your heart never imagined."

Let’s Change the Way You Look at Hardship

Some time ago, I shared a reflection on Surah Kahf — specifically, the profound incident between Prophet Musa (A.S.) and Khidr (A.S.). Many of you resonated with it, and today, I want to revisit that story… but this time, with a deeper lens. Let’s change the way we look at hardship.

In Surah Kahf, there’s a part we read every Friday, yet many of us never pause to truly internalize it. It’s the moment when Khidr (A.S.), by Allah’s command, damages a boat by cutting a hole in it. This boat belonged to a poor family. It was their means of survival — their source of livelihood. They relied on it for fishing and travel. And just like that, their boat is ruined.

To Musa (A.S.), this act appears cruel and senseless. He questions Khidr, unable to grasp the wisdom behind what looks like destruction.

Now, I invite you to step into the shoes of that poor family. Imagine it was your boat. You wake up one morning and find it damaged beyond use. Panic sets in. Confusion. Grief. And perhaps worst of all — doubt.

“Why me, Allah? Why now?”

“I needed this job. I needed this relationship. I needed this door to open. Why would You close it? Why would You break my boat, when I’ve been praying, fasting, trying?”

And the heart silently cries: Did I not worship You enough? Was my du’a not sincere? Why let this happen to me while others go on sinning without consequence?

But what Musa (A.S.) didn’t know — and what the family didn’t know — was that an oppressive king was seizing every good boat in the region. Had their boat remained whole, it would have been taken. Allah, in His mercy, broke it to protect it. The broken boat had no value to the tyrant, but once the danger passed, it could be repaired and used again.

This is divine wisdom in disguise. Mercy in the form of what appears to be loss.

Perhaps your boat is broken right now. You’re staring at the splinters, wondering why Allah let this happen. But what you can’t see is the danger He just saved you from — the unseen harm that never reached you. The toxic relationship. The harmful job. The spiritual derailment. He broke it, not to harm you, but to protect you.

Now here’s the part that hits even deeper…

Musa (A.S.) got the explanation — because he was being taught. But the people whose lives were affected? They were never told. They had to trust without answers. They had to live with the qadr, the divine decree, in silence.
