As I sat down alone in my room and chanting the dhikr and my voice echoed to the four corners of the room. I marveled at how great my Lord is and how capable He is-Tabarakalah wa ta'alah. How is it that, I just open my mouth, move my lips and also the tongue being in action too then sound is being produced-not just any sound but clear meaningful words! I was humbled by how much my Lord has put into motion.
Yet, there are some people who perform the same physical action as I have done but produce only sound (the mute). SubhanaLah!
I can see different things with my eyes too but there are people whose eyes are widely open but they perceive only darkness.
My Lord created us, then ranked us above one another, either in health, in wealth, in strength and so many other ways.
Ya Allah,
I am not better than this people but you choose to raise me in these blessings.
I am grateful to you my Lord.
humble my heart before you.
And make me your slave who submits to you in full surrender.
Aamiin
