Stop Obsessing Over the Future — The Qur’an Already Told You What to Do. 🧵
We love to ask: “What’s coming next?” Will the ummah rise? Will the world get worse? Will things ever change? But the Qur’an doesn’t tell us to predict the future, it tells us to prepare for it.
The Prophet ﷺ warned us of what’s to come. But the Qur’an focuses on what you’re supposed to do right now. If you hold on to the rope of Allah, the future outcomes are already taken care of.
We get lost in predictions: When will the Dajjal come? When will the end times begin? When will victory arrive?
But Allah says: “If you aid the cause of Allah, He will aid you.” 47:7
Stop asking what kind of storm is coming and start building a house that can withstand any storm. That’s faith. That’s tawakkul. That’s preparation.
Focus on the Prophets, not the predictions. The Qur’an gives you the map, not the timeline. Your job isn’t to forecast but to follow the path.
