Daily Ayah ยท At-Talaq 65:3

You have been carrying the same worry for weeks. Every night you ask yourself when it will finally end.

This ayah says Allah is enough for whoever relies on Him. That reliance is called tawakkul.

Ibn Ashur explains that someone who sees no way to what was promised can feel despair creeping in.

Al-Saadi notes that Allah's wisdom may hold help back until its fitting time.

Al-Baghawi explains that Allah has set a measure for everything, including hardship and ease, each with a term it reaches.

Nothing in your life is outside the measure Allah has set. Keep doing what you can, and keep relying on Him.

Amal for today: When worry rises today, pause and remind yourself that Allah has set a measure for everything, then take one small step you can.
