For a believer, true independence lies in complete dependence on Allah. Faith in Him is the ultimate source of relief. When you have a shoulder to lean on, why carry the burden alone?

For many, life today feels overwhelmingly busy, often super difficult and complicated. People feel drained, hopeless, and disconnected.

As a powerful affirmation of divine power, why not try reading selected Qur'anic verses aloud every morning? Consider printing these ayat from the Qur'an and placing them on your desk, so you can read and reflect on them repeatedly. This practice can help you internalize their meanings, strengthen your confidence, and deepen your trust in Allah.

It will uplift your spirits and reconnect you with your Real Helper—the One who can do anything, at any time. This approach is truly the best, for He is the Most-Knowledgeable and Most-Wise.
