Contemplation is one of the greatest deeds performed by the heart; it is the key that opensthe door which allows the light of guidance to enter;
“Who remember Allah while standing or sitting or [lying] on their sides and give thought to the creation of the heavens and the earth, [saying], “Our Lord, You did not create this aimlessly; exalted are You [above such a thing]; then protect us from the punishment of the Fire.” 3:191
Reflecting daily on one’s life and their impact on their environment is essential in developing a better character. In those moments of silence we’re able to see what was beneficial and what needs to be adjusted. In this way, everyday is a New Year or better yet a New Day. By changing ourselves we’re able to change the world!
