Tonight's Story
During Ramadan, something beautiful happens at night. The house gets quiet, the fast is broken, and the sky fills with stars. On a night just like this — long before Ramadan was given to us — a young prophet named Ibrahim looked up at that same sky and asked a question that would change everything.
A bright, beautiful star appeared. It glowed across the dark sky. "How beautiful," Ibrahim whispered. He watched it closely… and slowly, the star faded and disappeared. "Can something that disappears really be God?" he said softly.
Then the moon rose — round, glowing, bigger than any star. It's the same moon we look for at the start of Ramadan. "What about this?" Ibrahim said. But he waited… and the moon slipped below the hills and vanished too.
The next morning, the sun rose — the biggest and brightest of all. It's the same sun we wait for to set each day before we break our fast. But Ibrahim already knew what would happen. And by evening… the sun set too.
Ibrahim smiled. "The star disappeared. The moon disappeared. The sun disappeared. But the One who made them all — He never disappears. He is always there, always watching over us, always caring for us."
That's what Ramadan helps us see. When we slow down, when we fast, when we sit under the night sky after iftar — we start to notice Allah everywhere. Ibrahim found Allah not with his eyes, but with his heart. Ramadan helps us do the same.
Dua of the Night: Dua Before Sleeping
بِاسْمِكَ اللَّهُمَّ أَمُوتُ وَأَحْيَا
Bismika Allahumma amutu wa ahya
"In Your name, O Allah, I die and I live"
When we sleep, it is like a small rest that Allah gives us. We trust Allah to wake us up again. This dua shows we trust Him completely — just like Ibrahim trusted Allah his whole life.
