“Don’t worship Allah so He may give you. Rather, worship Him so He may be pleased. For when He is pleased, He will astonish you with His Gifts.”
By the dawn
And the ten nights
And the even and the odd
O you tranquil soul!
Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing
[al-Fajr: 1-3; 27-28]
Loftiness is attained in accordance to one’s struggles,
And whoever seeks nobility, remains vigilant by night.
Whoever wishes to achieve without due effort,
Will waste their life seeking what’s impossible.
You search for glory and yet you sleep at night,
It’s only the seeker of pearls who dives deep into the sea.
– Imam al-Shafi’i, al-Diwan

Interview with Muslim Life Hackers on Qur’an Memorisation
I was approached by the sisters from Muslim Life Hackers a few weeks ago about an interview they wanted to do on Hifdh al-Qur’an and discussions surrounding that including tips, advice, and encouragement etc. I nervously agreed seeing as though I’ve never really done a podcast before! So below are Part 1 and 2 of the interview. You can also download the app on your phone (‘MLifeHackers’) and listen to the podcast as well as other great podcasts and interviews.
May Allah reward the MLH team for their continuous efforts – I highly encourage people to listen to their podcasts insha’Allah.
