Sometimes it’s not about having more time, it’s about asking Allah to bless the time we already have.

This du’aa is a quiet, powerful request for barakah: Not just in how long we live, but in how meaningful, productive and accepted those moments are. Because a short life filled with sincerity and purpose can be far more valuable than years spent rushing without direction.

The wording of this du’aa is derived from prophetic supplications where the Prophet ﷺ asked for barakah in lifespan, provision and deeds such as:
اللَّهُمَّ أَطِلْ عُمْرَهُ وَبَارِكْ لَهُ فِيهِ
Ya Allah, prolong his life and bless it. (Sunan At-Tirmidhi)

May Allah fill our time with meaning, our years with goodness and our actions with light. Ameen.

Transliteration: Allahumma barik lifiwaqti, wa fiʿumri, wa fiaʿmali.

Communities thrive through belonging. When people feel recognized and supported, even the simplest efforts can spark real transformation. This begins with clarity.

Programs become meaningful when they respond to the actual needs of specific groups, whether teenagers seeking guidance, new Muslims building confidence or parents looking for support. When value comes first and benefit is sincere, trust grows without being forced.

Accessibility also matters. Faith reaches hearts most effectively when it meets people in the spaces where they already feel comfortable. Small regular experiences then deepen these bonds, creating familiarity, warmth and loyalty.

True growth is measured through impact on hearts, not by numbers alone. A single conversation, a short reflection or a gentle moment of learning can shift someone’s life.

These reflections come from Ustadh Nouman’s Leadership course on Bayyinah TV. Follow along as we explore what it means to build communities rooted in care, purpose and belonging.

Watch the full Deeper Look of Surah Al-Ma'arij now on Bayyinah TV: byna.tv/21
Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan explores one of the most misunderstood concepts in modern Muslim thought: wealth and self-worth. From the obsession with net worth and social media followers to the quiet internalized idea that being spiritual means shunning dunya, this talk dismantles it all.He reflects on how the Quran distinguishes between hoarding wealth for its own sake versus building with purpose, citing the story of Dhul Qarnain (18:84–98) and other key examples. He challenges inherited misconceptions that equate money with evil, drawing attention to verses that encourage strategic economic strength in the service of justice and goodness. Islam does not call us to poverty. It calls us to purpose. Watch now to rethink your relationship with dunya, and discover what it really means to live with faith and responsibility.

In a recent khutbah recorded at Melbourne Grand Mosque in Melbourne, Australia, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan unfolds Surah Al-Fajr (89:15–20) and the word that shatters our assumptions. Many tie their relationship with Allah to their circumstances. When life opens up they say, “My Lord honored me.” When provision tightens they say, “My Lord humiliated me.” Allah corrects this thinking, then points to what true honor looks like: honor the orphan, urge the feeding of the needy, do not consume inheritance, do not love wealth obsessively.

The Quran links the fall of powerful nations to a mindset that still lives inside individuals today. Wealth and status can impress people, but they are not proof of Allah’s favor. Ease is a test. Hardship is a test. The measure is your integrity and mercy when the numbers in your life change.

Leadership today often looks loud, but the Quran shows a quieter, deeper path. Ustadh Nouman teaches that influence begins with sincerity, the kind strengthened in private moments of remembrance and in the small choices made only for Allah.

Human beings mirror what they witness. One person praying consistently, serving without seeking attention or choosing patience in a tense moment can transform an entire space. These small, sincere acts create an atmosphere where others feel encouraged to rise too.

This was the way of the Prophet ﷺ. His devotion shaped his actions and his actions shaped a community. His steadiness, compassion and clarity with Allah gave his leadership its lasting weight.

This carousel is taken from Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan’s Leadership course on Bayyinah TV. Follow along to explore how sincerity becomes strength, how quiet actions create real influence and how the Quran shapes leaders from the inside out.

When we neglect the Quran, this happens.... (This lecture gets heavy)

Watch now: https://youtu.be/g2iZFvtTB7Q

In a recent lecture delivered in Istanbul, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan takes a deeper dive into the 19th ayah of Surah Al-Hashr in which Allah says: "And be not like those who forgot Allah, so He made them forget themselves."

Ustadh Nouman clarifies what 'forgetting ourselves' really means, and the difference between Allah's remembrance (the objective) and the means by which we achieve this goal.

Ultimately, he reminds us that the Quran in fact is the ultimate dhikr (remembrance) of Allah, and that due to a range of external and internal threats to our relationship with Islam, the Quran is no longer at the center of our thoughts.

Some people remember what you said. Others remember how you made them feel.

There is strength in gentleness. It brings calm into conflict. It gives room for someone else’s mistake. It allows healing to begin where blame might have ended it.

The Prophet ﷺ taught us that gentleness adds beauty to everything it touches. A word, a choice, a moment, a relationship.

Wherever you are today, let that be your intention:
To speak gently.
To respond gently.
To carry yourself in a way that leaves people lighter, not heavier.

Because every time you choose gentleness, you’re choosing the character Allah loves.

Where in the Quran does it say that I can’t…

The nourishing, loving, all-wise, all-knowing Master of all creation, in His infinite wisdom, sent revelation to His potentially marvelous creation, the human being, so the miraculous soul that was placed inside that body would find its true origin, its true love and its true destiny.

A revelation that would harmonize this creature’s mind, heart, body and soul. A revelation that would enable this being to actualize the true potential that lay buried within. A revelation that would empower the light within so there could be light without. He made this revelation not just a document that teaches religion but a message that illuminates the faithful servant’s vision of all reality.

How does one recognize themselves, others, history, justice, the universe, their origin, their final destination, the world inside them, the world outside them, the goodness in others, the many faces of corruption, what a journey to God looks like and endlessly more: are all quests one can take up in this infinite ocean of wisdom.

And here we are, looking at this greatest act of divine love, guidance and honor bestowed upon us as little more than a fatwa text. “Just tell me I’m justified in doing what I want.” “Just give me proof so I can prove to someone how wrong they are.” The book that would crush a mountain out of the awe of Allah serving as little more than supporting evidence in online squabbles.

In our faith, we learn that arrogance takes many forms. A less obvious form is placing one’s own priorities and curiosities as the only thing to engage the revelation for. It didn’t come to serve us. It came to teach us what it means to be of service.

Instead of making the Quran our latest ChatGPT project, how about we try humbling ourselves to its overpowering wisdom and surrender ourselves to God’s words, one surah at a time. How about we make our fatwa quest minuscule in comparison to the grand task of being able to tell Allah one day that we actually appreciated His book by trying to understand it, not just the ruling we were curious about from it.

Allah mentions those who are arrogant before Allah. Allah also mentions those who are arrogant before the ayat of Allah. I pray none of us are ever from them.

There’s very little time for any of us on this planet. Let’s give this book some sense of urgency, with love, humility and a begging seeker’s attitude that wants one thing more than any other: guidance of the heart and through it for the rest of our being. Fatwas can wait. Allah’s word, we should feel, can’t.

Seek your fatwas, sure. But let’s give Allah’s own words their due first. It’s what makes us the faithful, not our last names and genealogies.
