Ramadan Quran Reflection Day 11

Ramadan Quran Reflection Day 11 (9:40)

“Have no fear, verily God is with us”
لا تَحْزَن إِنَّ اللهَ مَعَنَا...

This word of reassurance was said by the Prophet to his closest companion, AbuBakr. They had been hiding in the cave of thawr far away from home while a ransom was put for their capture. People who were looking for them had made it to the entrance of the same cave they were in when fear overcame AbuBakr. In this moment is when the Prophet told him these words of wisdom that helped ease his heart, and eventually they were safe and sound, able to travel to Medina and complete the Hijra (migration).

How many times have you needed this very reassuring statement? I think we all need it at varying moments in our life. When you’re overwhelmed with thoughts, when you’re feeling alone, when you’re not finding a way out, when you’re scared, remember what the Prophet told his friend. God is with you. He always is. In this statement is a cloak of security and safety. Let us memorize it, embody it, and live it.

“Have no fear, verily God is with us”
لا تَحْزَن إِنَّ اللهَ مَعَنَا...
