Islamic guidance for week 38
A dua and a reflection
لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ، سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ
La ilaha illa‑llahu‑l‑haleemul‑kareem, subhanallahi rabbi‑l‑‘arshil‑‘azheem.
“There is no deity but Allah, the Forbearing, the Most Generous. Glory be to Allah, Lord of the mighty Throne.”
Bukhari 6345
Your body is teaching itself the rhythm of labour. Don’t fight it.
