Reflection: Our Lives Now
The standard answer of anyone prior to March to, “How are you doing?” was “Busy.” At which point most people would list off a laundry list of “to-do” items that had them driving, running, or waiting through endless tasks. I was no different. It was Fajr. It was Isha. Days, weeks, months, years…were just flowing through our hands like water.
Well, Allah is amazing. We have been shown that we were never in control of anything. The order of operations of our lives had to pivot. Our norms of the day: going to work, going to school, doing groceries, meeting friends and family are being redefined. It is a work in progress.
So much has changed. What the future holds is very unclear.
But Alhamdulillah, at 8:45 a.m., a familiar voice travels through our home. I have teenagers, and they are not going to share a screen. So from all corners of our home, Ustadh Rehan holds morning assembly. Sanad starts our day, our intentions, and our work where it needs to be: with the One who is in Control. Then for the next few hours my kids have class with their learning coaches. In all of this worldly chaos, their schooling never missed a beat. They are holding the course, spiritually and academically. And for the next three hours with the quiet hum of their schooling, we experience “normalcy” and breathe.
