One ayah. One hadith. One name. Quiet things, in their place.

Today's verse · struggle

Al-Balad 90:4

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ فِى كَبَدٍ

Laqad khalaqna al-insana feekabad

We have certainly created man into hardship.

We have certainly created man into hardship. The struggle is not a sign that something is broken; it is the design.

Today's hadith · perspective

Sahih al-Bukhari 3841, Sahih Muslim 2256

Everything besides Allah passes

أَصْدَقُ كَلِمَةٍ قَالَهَا الشَّاعِرُ كَلِمَةُ لَبِيدٍ: أَلَا كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مَا خَلَا اللَّهَ بَاطِلٌ

Asdaqu kalimatin qalaha-sh-sha'iru kalimatu Labid: ala kullu shay'in ma khala-llaha batil.

The truest word a poet ever said is the word of Labid: Indeed, everything besides Allah is perishing.
