Allah told the Prophet ﷺ: “you are kept busy for long periods of the day.” (73:7)
The days in Makkah were non-stop. He would walk from one person to another, speaking, persuading, being rejected, humiliated, insulted. And then he would try again the next day. It was relentless, like sprinting without pause.
That’s why the night mattered. The calm of prayer at night was not just worship. It was fuel. It was what gave him the strength to carry the Quran into the storm of daylight.
And that’s a reminder for us. Our days feel like a sprint too. Always running. Always breathless. Work, deadlines, family, noise. The hours blur together.
Running harder isn’t the answer. Strength comes from stopping long enough to stand with Allah. Even a few minutes with the Quran in that silence can change how you carry the next day.
Try it yourself. Wake up for a short while tonight, open a surah you know and recite it slowly. Notice how it feels when nothing else is competing.
