Radiant face

Assalamoalaekum

I am sharing an ayah that inspired me today. I seek Allah's mercy, guidance, forgiveness and help.

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم

_____

Al-Qiyamah 75:22

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاضِرَةٌ

[Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant,


______

I love radiant faces. Everybody does. Women especially. Just check out how much money cosmetic industry is making to sell creams for a radiant skin for face.

And those creams don't work most of the time. SubhanAllah.

I came to the conclusion radiance comes from inside. It doesn't matter what the skin color is. Some people just radiate.

Oh Allah make our face radiate that day. And make us able to look at You that day. Ameen.

Allah helps those who help His cause

اعوذ بالله من الشيطن الرجيم

Surah 22. Al-Hajj, Verse 40:

الَّذِينَ أُخْرِجُوا مِن دِيَارِهِم بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ إِلَّا أَن يَقُولُوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ وَلَوْلَا دَفْعُ اللَّهِ النَّاسَ بَعْضَهُم بِبَعْضٍ لَّهُدِّمَتْ صَوَامِعُ وَبِيَعٌ وَصَلَوَاتٌ وَمَسَاجِدُ يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا اسْمُ اللَّهِ كَثِيرًا وَلَيَنصُرَنَّ اللَّهُ مَن يَنصُرُهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَقَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ

Translation:

Those who have been expelled from their homes unjustly only because they said: "Our Lord is Allah." - For had it not been that Allah checks one set of people by means of another, monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques, wherein the Name of Allah is mentioned much would surely have been pulled down. Verily, Allah will help those who help His (Cause). Truly, Allah is All-Strong, All-Mighty.
