LEARN & DO

Nourish Your Heart

“Indeed, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.”
— Surah Ar-Ra’d (13:28)

Feeling a little spiritually "meh" lately? It happens. The Qur'an reminds us that dhikr — remembering Allah — isn't just for super pious moments; it’s the everyday heart-fuel we need.

Do this today:
Pick a simple dhikr — like SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, or Allahu Akbar — and aim for 33 times each after one prayer today. Bonus: Set a tiny reminder on your phone that says "Did you nourish your heart today?" 🌱
