اسْتَبِقُوا الْخَيْرَاتِ
This verse invites us to compete in doing good deeds.
فَٱسۡتَبِقُواْ ٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِ
So race to [all that is] good.
Quran, Al-Baqara 2:148
The verse reminds us that each person has their own direction and circumstances. But beyond these differences, a common call is made: to race towards good. It is not about comparing ourselves to others, but about surpassing ourselves in generosity and beneficial actions. In our daily lives, we can turn every small opportunity into a chance to do good. A smile, a discreet help, an encouraging word: all are steps in this race. What matters is to start, even modestly.
Today, do a good deed in secret, like helping someone without them knowing.
