As we move from this year to the next, I wanted to share a beautiful piece of wisdom my Quran class teacher shared with us. We often express gratitude for the external blessings in our lives, but how often do we pause to thank Allah for the *internal* resources He has blessed us with?
He reminded us of these inner blessings:
• Iman — our faith itself.
• The presence of Hazrat Muhammad ﷺ within our hearts and lives, and paying gratitude by sending blessings upon him with love and thankfulness.
• The ability to do good deeds — the tawfiq and motivation Allah grants us.
• The peace we feel within, moment by moment.
• The acceptance of Allah within us and around us, and the countless small miracles we experience because of Him.
For me, this reflection was deeply moving and eye-opening, and I wanted to share it with you all as we prepare to welcome the New Year. Let us notice the vastness of external and internal blessings, that Allah has made us abundant with, as we choose to ask for more of each in the coming time.
