Rabiʿuth-Thani Nasihah Series
Day 1 — A New Beginning
Every Season Begins With a Seed
A new month has begun, and with it comes another opportunity to begin again.
Every tree begins with a seed. In the same way, every change in our lives begins with a small decision in the heart.
Don't worry about changing everything at once.
Plant one good seed today.
Allah Azza wa Jalla says in the Holy Qur'an:
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ ضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا كَلِمَةً طَيِّبَةً كَشَجَرَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ
“Have you not considered how Allah Jalla wa Ula gives the example of a good word as a good tree...” (Surah Ibrahim :24)
A seed may be small, but with care, it can become a tree that bears fruit.
Rasulullah Alayhis Salam said:
أَحَبُّ الْأَعْمَالِ إِلَى اللَّهِ أَدْوَمُهَا وَإِنْ قَلَّ
“The deeds most beloved to Allah are those that are consistent, even if they are small.” (Bukhari & Muslim)»
Reflection -Spirituality
- Perhaps your seed today is one Salah performed with greater concentration.
- Perhaps it is one page of Qur'an, one sincere Istighfar, one act of kindness, or leaving one sin.
- Don't underestimate a small beginning.
- Allah Azza wa Jalla can grow something beautiful from something very small.
So as Rabiʿuth-Thani begins, ask yourself:
What seed will I plant today?
Duʿa
اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ، وَأَعِنَّا عَلَى زَرْعِ الْخَيْرِ فِي قُلُوبِنَا وَأَعْمَالِنَا، وَاجْعَلْهُ بَدَايَةً لِقُرْبِنَا مِنْكَ.
O Allah Rabbul Izzati wal Jalali, bless us in this month, help us plant goodness in our hearts and deeds, and make it a new beginning of drawing closer to Thee. Amin.
