My Lord Nurtures Me

Guidance through Revelation (Qur`an and Sunnah)

Guidance is one of the greatest forms of nurturing that my Lord provides. Without direction, humans remain lost, unable to distinguish right from wrong, truth from falsehood, or purpose from aimlessness. Allah, in His infinite wisdom and mercy, has sent down revelation through the Qur’an and Sunnah to guide humanity toward righteousness and fulfilment. Through these divine sources, my Lord nurtures me by providing clarity, moral direction, wisdom, and a pathway to ultimate success.

  1. The Holy Qur’an: My Lord’s Direct Speech as a Source of Nurturing

The Qur’an is the ultimate source of divine guidance, a direct communication from Allah to mankind. It serves as a blueprint for life, covering every aspect of human existence: faith, morality, relationships, social justice, and spiritual well-being. Allah says in the Qur’an:

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ يَهْدِى لِلَّتِى هِىَ أَقْوَمُ وَيُبَشِّرُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ أَنَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًا كَبِيرًا

“Indeed, this Qur’an guides to that which is most upright and gives good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a great reward.” (Al-Isra 17: 9)

Through the Noble Qur’an, my Lord nurtures me in the following ways:

  1. Providing Clarity and Certainty

Human beings often struggle with doubt and confusion. The Qur’an nurtures me by offering clear and undeniable truth. Allah says:

ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبُ لَا رَيْبَ ۛ فِيهِ ۛ هُدًى لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ

“This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allah.” (Al-Baqarah 2: 2)

When we feel lost, we can turn to the Holy Qur’an for answers. Whether it is about making ethical choices, dealing with hardships, or seeking motivation, my Lord’s words provide certainty in a world of uncertainty.

  1. Healing and Mercy

Life is filled with emotional and psychological struggles, but my Lord nurtures my soul through His words. The Holy Qur’an acts as a spiritual healing:

وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ ٱلْقُرْءَانِ مَا هُوَ شِفَآءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۙ وَلَا يَزِيدُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا خَسَارًا

“And We send down the Qur’an as a healing and mercy for the believers.” (Al-Isra 17: 82)

Whenever we experience grief, stress, or hardship, reciting or listening to the Holy Qur’an provides a calmness that no worldly source can offer. My Lord nurtures my heart by giving me a means of solace and peace.

  1. Teaching Moral and Ethical Conduct

The Qur’an nurtures my sense of morality by guiding me toward righteousness. It teaches me patience, honesty, humility, and compassion. Allah commands:

وَقُولُوا۟ لِلنَّاسِ حُسْنًا

“And speak to people kindly.” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2: 83)

By following these teachings, we can grow into people who reflects the divine guidance in daily life.

  1. The Sunnah: The Practical Application of My Lord’s Guidance

The Sunnah (the teachings and actions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) is an extension of Qur’anic guidance. It provides a living example of how to implement Allah’s words in real life. Allah says:

وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَـٰكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

“And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.” (Ambiya 21: 107)

  • Through the Sunnah, my Lord nurtures me by showing me how to embody divine wisdom in everyday life.
  • The Prophet ﷺ was sent as a role model for humanity. His Sunnah nurtures me by teaching me good manners, patience, and humility.
  • The Prophet’s Sunnah teaches me how to pray, how to fast, how to seek forgiveness, and how to connect with my Lord in the most meaningful ways.
  • The Prophet ﷺ showed the best way to interact with others, whether in family life, community service, or global affairs.
  1. Consequences of Ignoring My Lord’s Guidance

When people turn away from the Qur’an and Sunnah, they lose the nurturing and wisdom of their Lord. The consequences include:

  • Confusion and Aimlessness – Without divine guidance, people struggle to find meaning in life.
  • Moral Decay – Without the ethical framework of Islam, societies suffer from injustice and corruption.
  • Spiritual Emptiness – Neglecting the Qur’an and Sunnah leads to a lack of inner peace and purpose.

Allah warns:

وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِى فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا

“And whoever turns away from My remembrance – indeed, he will have a difficult life.” (TaHa 20: 124)

This verse reminds me that true peace and success lie in embracing my Lord’s guidance.
