DAY 26

Live with purpose

The Ayah

أَفَحَسِبْتُمْ أَنَّمَا خَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ عَبَثًۭا وَأَنَّكُمْ إِلَيْنَا لَا تُرْجَعُونَ

"Did you think that We created you without purpose and that to Us you would not be returned?"
[Al-Mu'minun, 23:115]

This Ayah In Your Life

Allah is asking you a question. Did you think this was all random? That you just happened to exist? That you eat, sleep, work, scroll, and then die — and that's it? No. You were made for something. To worship Him. To do good. To serve others. And you will be asked about it. Every hour. Every choice. Every day you were given. The one who lives without purpose will stand before Allah and realize too late what life was for.

What The Salaf Said

Ibn al-Qayyim said: "Wasting time is worse than death. Death separates you from the dunya. Wasting time separates you from Allah."

al Fawaid

Action

Check your screen time right now. That number is hours of your life. Hours you won't get back. How much went toward your purpose?

Reflect

If you died tonight, would you say you lived on purpose?

AL-ALEEM

The All-Knowing

أَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ سِرَّهُمْ وَنَجْوَاهُمْ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ

"Did they not know that Allah knows their secrets and private conversations and that Allah is the Knower of the unseen?"
[At-Tawbah, 9:78]

The Meaning

  • He knows without being taught. He knows everything that was, everything that is, and everything that will be.

  • He knows the unseen — what no creation can access. He knows what the hearts hide. Nothing is hidden from Him in the earth or the sky.

  • His knowledge reaches the inner depths of things. Every secret. Every whisper. Every thought you never spoke. He already knows.

Al-Aleem In Your Life

  • That thing you never told anyone — He knows. That intention you hid behind a good deed — He knows. Nothing is private from Al-Aleem.

  • You wonder if anyone truly understands you. Al-Aleem knows you better than you know yourself. Every struggle. Every wound. Every hope.

  • People judge your outside. Al-Aleem sees your inside. That's terrifying if you're faking — and comforting if you're sincere.

How You Live Differently

  • Check your intentions before every action. Al-Aleem doesn't just see what you did — He sees why you did it.

  • When no one else understands what you're going through, talk to Al-Aleem. He already knows every detail. You're not alone.

  • Do good even when no one notices. Al-Aleem sees it. His record is the only one that matters.

WORTH YOUR TIME

May Allah soften our hearts and make us among those who remember Him,

Abu Ja’far Guled
