Islamic guidance for week 40

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

Whatever today brings, Allah’s timing is always perfect. Hasbunallahu wa ni‘mal-wakeel.
