not only does Allah subhanahu wata ala provide us with everything we
have no matter how small nor how great. but He also provides for us
from means that are completely beyond our means to discern in advance.
means that are also truly beyond our control. and one that people
let get in the way of true gratitude to Allah is the arrogance that
comes from thinking: "i've taken care of that."
no, you have only planned and exerted effort -- He is the One Who is
the Best of Planners, the One Who allows your plans to come to
fruition or Who delays you.
so how will you express gratitude to Him today?
yesterday, alhamdolillah, my travel to washington was smooth. even
though i was running two hours behind in leaving my home, i still
caught my flight and was even upgraded, alhamdolillahil-lathee
razaqaneehee min ghayri hawlim-minnee, wa laa quwwatin.
since last night, my smartphone has been acting strangely. i am using
it now, but all hardware features and settings are inaccessible: i can
use th bluetooth, wifi, etc, but i cannot add new wifi hotspots. that
will make internet access outside the US harder or at least more
expensive (if i have to pay for local GPRS). alhamdolillah alaa kulli
haal; it is His Mercy that it happened here -- where i have access to
desktops from which i can reset and restore my phone, inshaAllah.

Whether you hide what you want to say, or speak out loud, without
doubt He knows what is in your heart. Would He not know Who Created
everything? He is the Most Subtle, the Most Aware. (The Holy Qur'an,
Surah Al-Mulk, v13-14)
Open your heart to Islam.
Pray Fajr at 5:30 am at Al Farouq.
