3 Verses To Realign/Recenter Your Day


Written By:

We go through life chasing paychecks, school goals and career dreams, yet the heart still longs for something steady to hold onto. There are three verses that can comfort you, strengthen your faith and keep you in check with your Lord. These verses remind you of Allah’s mercy, His reward and the responsibility you carry as a believer.
Every day we try to live up to expectations and we face hardships, whether small or major. In all situations, we are taught to be patient. This verse teaches us to trust Allah because He reaffirmed twice, not once, that with every hardship comes a later ease. Whether you are tired and unable to pray or do your dhikr, or you are facing financial or health challenges, remember to carry this verse with you. It helps you appreciate your blessings while you wait for other duas to be answered, and it strengthens your belief in Allah’s promise because He is Al-Qadeer and He can do all things.
This verse tells us that whatever you do for Allah is never hidden from Him. Whether your deeds are small or plenty, Allah sees every effort. Many of us go through each day trying our best to worship, striving with both obligatory and voluntary acts. Sometimes we wonder if Allah sees us and if He rewards us. Here, He reassures us that He indeed sees and He never lets the reward of your sincerity go to waste. So do not stop. Keep going and your Merciful Lord will strengthen you and reward you beautifully.
No matter what you do, let your iman remain at the center of your life. This verse reminds you of your responsibility to nurture your faith every day through worship and dhikr, because Allah has commanded it and because iman is the greatest gift He has given you. He has shown you the right path and surrounded you with His mercy. Look around you and you will see it. So be mindful of Him in all you do.
