SIGNS OF ALLAH'S POWER AND MERCY

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Allah is one, the sole creator and sustainer of the universe. He begets not, nor is He begotten, and none is like Him. His signs are evident in creation:

- He created humans from dust, and from spouses, He brought tranquility and love.

- The diversity of languages, colors, and the cycle of day and night are signs of His power.

- The heavens and earth stand by His command, and He revives the earth with rain.

- The winds bring good tidings, and ships sail by His command.

We are reminded to worship only Allah, the creator of the sun, moon, and stars. He gives life and death, and His command is absolute. The Quran testifies to the resurrection and the afterlife.

Allah is near, hearing our prayers, and answering our calls. He encourages us to be patient, grateful, and to seek assistance through prayer. Let us remember Allah, fear Him, and be thankful for His blessings.

May Allah forgive us, our parents, and the believing men and women. Ameen.

Forbidden (Haram) 4. Dislike but not forbidden (Makruh) 5. Lawful/allowed (Halal) A spiritual journey involves getting and moving closer to Allah by performing the obligatory first and observing the limits. The Prophet (SAWA) said, "My servant does not draw near to me with anything more beloved to me than ...
