Seeking Allah's Approval

This verse shows us a person ready to sacrifice everything to gain Allah's approval.

مَرۡضَاتِ ٱللَّهِۚ

seeking the approval of Allah

Quran, Al-Baqara 2:207

In this verse, Allah describes someone who sacrifices himself entirely for Him. This sacrifice is motivated by the sincere desire to please Allah, not by personal interest. The verse clarifies that Allah is Kind to His servants, which encourages this endeavor.

In our daily lives, we can seek Allah's approval in our choices, even small ones. This means acting with sincerity, preferring what Allah loves over what suits us. The following verse invites us to enter fully into Islam, following His commands.

Today, perform a sincere action for Allah, like helping someone or saying a kind word, with the intention of pleasing Him.
