This is an excellent reminder that good intentions without action won’t carry us forward. They won’t build the kind of legacy we dream of, or prepare us for the moment when we stand before Allah with nothing but our deeds. You’re right that this is not the time for soft pats on the back. It’s the time for hard truths and even harder action.
What’s great about your reflection is that it has hope woven through it. The fact that it’s not too late, that the moment is now. Allah has gifted us with another day, another opportunity to pick up the Qur’an, to seek knowledge, to act with purpose. Let this be the year we stop spinning in circles. Let it be the year of intentionality, of movement, learning, and building something that outlasts us. And yes Surah Al-Asr so powerfully reminds us that we’re in loss unless we act. So let’s make 2025 not just as a year of dreams, but as a year of doing.
Your letter is incredibly moving and serves as a powerful reminder of the fleeting nature of time and the importance of prioritizing our deen. Your heartfelt call to action resonates deeply, urging us to reflect, commit, and make meaningful changes in our lives. The emphasis on self-reflection, sincere efforts, and the pursuit of knowledge and good deeds is truly inspiring.
Thank you for sharing this profound message—it's a timely reminder to make the most of the time we have and strive for spiritual growth and betterment.
May Allah grant us all the strength and determination to act upon these reminders. You've articulated what many of us feel but struggle to put into words.
