Assalamu ‘alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh

Welcome back, TrueDay. Today we unpack two powerful realities shaping our world. First, the silent struggles and modern illusions women face — and how Islam lights a path back to true dignity. Then, a heartfelt look at the sacred beginnings of life, from the first call to prayer to the lifelong significance of a child’s name.

Also today: insights on nurturing faith through every stage of life, and a reminder of our trust and responsibility to the next generation.

The First World: Silence, Shame, and the Broken Home
When a marriage ends, the pain doesn’t stop at the front door. Many women lose not only a husband’s home but also the shelter of their father’s house. In too many cases, respect turns into pity, and compassion turns cold. Left vulnerable, some are pushed into darkness — where safety, dignity, and hope are stolen away. The scars left by social judgment, family disputes, and endless court cases are not just personal — they are a mirror of a society losing its moral compass.

The Second World: Glitter, Glamour, and a Hollow Freedom
In another corner of our society, women are told they are “free.” The glow of beauty influencers, endless filters, and a culture obsessed with appearance paints a picture of empowerment — but hides a reality of exploitation. Here, women are valued for their faces, not their faith; for their style, not their sincerity. This is what I call modern Jahiliyyah — a slavery dressed as freedom, stripping away not only modesty but also peace of mind.

One Problem, One Solution
Whether it’s the cruel traditions that silence women or the modern trends that consume them, both are rooted in forgetting Allah’s guidance. Islam does not chain women — it protects them. It does not silence them — it honors their voice. It does not strip them of identity — it gives them purpose, dignity, and true independence.

My dear reader, if we are to heal as a society, we must return to the light of Qur’an and Sunnah. For in that light, women are not property, nor products — they are honored servants of Allah, creators of generations, and pillars of a just society.

A Farewell and a Dua
If this is the last time you read my words, know that every letter I wrote came with dua for you — for your dignity, your safety, and your peace. May Allah protect you from both the cruelty of outdated customs and the deceit of modern illusions. And may He guide us all to a middle path — one that honors both the soul and the self.

The First Sound of Life — The Name of Allah
When a child enters the world, the first words they should hear are the Name of Allah. Giving the Adhan in the right ear and the Iqamah in the left is not only Sunnah — it is the planting of the very first seed of faith deep into their heart.

On the seventh day, performing Aqeeqah is a beautiful expression of gratitude to Allah. These small Sunnahs guide a child on a path that keeps them safe — not just in this world, but in the Hereafter.

It Starts Even Earlier — Choosing a Spouse
A blessed childhood begins before birth — when parents choose each other. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
"Choose the one who is righteous in religion."
Pious parents give their children more than worldly education — they give them faith, manners, and a moral foundation that can never be shaken.

A Name — Not Just an Identity, But a Du’a
On the Day of Judgment, we will be called by our names and our fathers’ names. Choosing a name is therefore a responsibility, a du’a, and a lifelong identity.

The most beloved names to Allah are Abdullah and Abdur Rahman, which carry the honor of servitude to Allah. On the other hand, Islam advises against names that imply servitude to others, such as Ghulam Rasool or Abdush Shams — because we are servants of none but Allah.

Our Trust, Our Responsibility
Dear reader, children are not only a source of joy — they are an amanah (trust) from Allah. To protect this trust, we must live by Islam at every step — from the first Adhan to the final letter of their name.
Today’s Takeaway:
👉 Guiding a child starts at the very moment of birth. Through their name, we give them a lifelong message — that they are servants of Allah, and their life is dedicated to His path.

Dua for Today’s :

"O Allah,
Guide us to protect the dignity and honor of every soul,
Strengthen our faith to walk the straight path with wisdom and compassion.
Bless our children with righteous guidance from their first breath,
And grant us the wisdom to raise them with love, faith, and strong identity.
Keep us steadfast in Your light, and shield us from all harm and confusion.
Ameen."

That’s all for today, Superhuman. May these reflections inspire us to honor dignity, faith, and responsibility in every part of our lives.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Until next time, stay thoughtful, stay compassionate, and stay true to your values.

Take care and peace be upon you.
