“Isn’t it yet time you feel something when you remember Allah?”


*in the beginning parts of the episode I said don’t be intimidated by the Quran , in the sense of fearing it when you’ve made a mistake that you avoid it and neglect it completely. don’t run away from Allah. Yes you should be scared. Ashamed . Frightened at the thought of the consequences of what you’ve done but who will you run to? Come back to Allah ,don’t let “fear” push you away. It’s a trick. Pick up the Quran with all the shame you feel and fear. Repent to Allah. He will guide you and forgive you.Allahs door is always open.🥹


In this episode, we explore a powerful verse in the Quran where Allah (SWT) asks, *"Isn’t it yet time for those who believe to feel something when they remember Him?"* This question is a call to reflect on our hearts—are they softened by His remembrance, or have they grown hard?


“Has the time not yet come for believers' hearts to be humbled at the remembrance of Allah and what has been revealed of the truth, and not be like those given the Scripture before—˹those˺ who were spoiled for so long that their hearts became hardened. And many of them are ˹still˺ rebellious.” Quran 57:16


“And ˹remember˺ when We took a covenant from the children of Israel ˹stating˺, “Worship none but Allah; be kind to parents, relatives, orphans and the needy; speak kindly to people; establish prayer; and pay alms-tax.” But you ˹Israelites˺ turned away—except for a few of you—and were indifferent” Quran 2:83


We delve into how our approach to others can shape our spiritual path. Sometimes, in seeking piety, we mistakenly think it means being harsh or distant. But true faith transforms us from within, reflected in kindness, gentleness, and love toward others. When we lose compassion, our acts of worship can feel empty.


We end with a reminder of how Allah (SWT) guides us toward true heart-softening:


  1. ​Devote yourself to Him alone.
  2. ​Honor your parents and nurture those relationships that need you—relatives, orphans, and the needy.
  3. ​Speak beautifully to and about others.
  4. ​Pray regularly to stay connected.
  5. ​Give zakat.
