 Many times, even though we're surrounded by people, we may feel alone. A friend may have forgotten to respond to our text messages or a loved one may have forgotten to check in on us even though they knew we were sick or have heard that someone in our extended family had passed away. And in this fast-paced life that we all live in, I've been guilty of this too. We may experience a trial in our lives and seem so no one is there to support us. It always comforts me to realize that the Prophet Muhammad SAW also felt like this in his lifetime too. In his early prophethood, the Prophet Muhammad SAW was under a ton of stress and anxiety and experienced mockery and ridicule from those he thought were his closest friends, his tribe and his neighbors. And during this time, he thought that Allah had abandoned him. Now Allah SAW sent down Surat al-Duha to comfort him and let him know that he had not forgotten him and that he was never alone. Your Lord has not abandoned you nor has he forgotten. And Allah SAW continues to remind the Prophet, Did he not find you an orphan and give you refuge? And he found you lost and guided you? And he found you poor and made you self-sufficient? And just as it was a beautiful reminder for the Prophet Muhammad SAW, Surat al-Duha is actually a reminder for us too. Allah was always there for us, even in our toughest times and even if we didn't realize it. He was there for us when our Iman was at its weakest levels and when our worship was barely existent and when days would go by and we wouldn't even think about him. Yet he guided us and here you are now listening to this and he'll continue to be here for us always. We need to remember that people will test us. They'll forget us. They'll possibly even hurt us. But Allah SAW never will. And we'll always have our back even when we have forgotten him. I wonder if you can share in the comments a time when you felt that Allah SAW had forgotten about you but then realized that he didn't.
