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

Today's verse · remembrance

Al-Baqarah 2:152

فَٱذْكُرُونِىٓ أَذْكُرْكُمْ وَٱشْكُرُوا۟ لِى وَلَا تَكْفُرُونِ

Fathkuroonee athkurkumwashkuroo lee wala takfuroon

So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me.

Remembrance is a door that opens from both sides, the more we knock, the more it's held open for us.

مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَدُومَ لَهُ مَا يُحِبُّ فَلْيُكْثِرْ مِنَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ

Man ahabba an yaduma lahu ma yuhibb, fa-l-yukthir mina-l-hamdulillah.

Whoever loves for a blessing to last should say 'alhamdulillah' often.
