Islamic guidance for week 16
A dua and a reflection
رَبِّ إِنِّي لِمَا أَنْزَلْتَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيرٌ
Rabbi inni lima anzalta ilayya min khayrin faqeer.
“My Lord, I am truly in need of whatever good You send down to me.”
Qur’an 28:24
If you feel a flutter, whisper alhamdulillah. The Prophet ﷺ taught us that.
