📖 QUR’ANIC VERSE
📌 Surah Al-Burūj 85:13
“Indeed, it is He who originates [creation] and repeats [it].”
📚 Tafsir (Ibn Kathir, Al-Qurtubi, Al-Baghawi)**
- This verse is a direct proof of Al-Mubdi’ and Al-Muʿīd — two Names paired together.
- “Repeats” (yuʿīd) means:
- Restoring life after death
- Reassembling bodies from dust
- Bringing back entire creation for accountability
It affirms that just as He began creation from nothing, He can just as easily rebuild it again.
🪞 Tafhīm (Relatable Understanding)
- If He brought you into existence once, He can bring you back again — fully.
- Resurrection is not hard for Him. And neither is restoring your heart, your dignity, or your closeness to Him.
Even in this life — when you feel ruined — Al-Muʿīd can begin something fresh from the ruins.
📜 HADITH NARRATION
📌 Sahih Muslim 2955a
Narrated by Abdullah ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) — the son of the second caliph ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb, a scholar among the companions and deeply devoted to the Sunnah:
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Then Allah will send down rain, and the people will grow out of the earth like vegetables. There is nothing of the human body that does not decay, except the tailbone. From it, the human will be recreated on the Day of Resurrection.”
📚 Tafsir (An-Nawawi, Ibn Rajab)**
- This hadith reveals that Allah has preserved even a seed of your body — from which He will rebuild you.
- Like rain causes plants to return, He will send down a command that restores the dead.
- This proves Al-Muʿīd restores physically, precisely, and intentionally.
🪞 Tafhīm (Relatable Understanding)
- You may feel your sins have erased your worth.
- You may believe your purity, focus, or īmān will never return.
But Al-Muʿīd says: “I brought it once. I can bring it again.”
He is not just the restorer on the Day of Judgment — He is the Restorer today, of hearts, intentions, and broken paths.
🌍 EVIDENCE IN TODAY’S WORLD
1. The Body Rebuilding Itself After Damage
- Nerves reconnect. Bones regenerate. Memories recover.
The body remembers how to rebuild — because Al-Muʿīd wrote that command into your design.
2. Faith Returning After Doubt
- You stopped praying. You drifted from Allah. And yet, you felt something calling you back.
That return wasn’t from you. It was Al-Muʿīd, restoring your soul’s rhythm.
3. Rebirth After Rock Bottom
- You thought you were done. Then came a moment — a verse, a conversation, a tear — and your life began again.
You met the One who restores from ashes.
4. On the Day of Judgment: Full Resurrection
- You will be restored — not just in body, but in records, rights, and recompense.
Nothing lost will stay lost.
Every soul will return.
Al-Muʿīd brings everything back into perfect balance.
❤️ EMOTIONAL ANCHORING
Al-Muʿīd is the One who says:
“You are never too far gone. If I brought you into existence once, I can bring you back to Me again — cleaner, softer, brighter.”
When your faith fades.
When your joy withers.
When you think it’s too late —
He can return what was lost.
He can rebuild what was ruined.
He can resurrect your closeness to Him before He resurrects your body.
🤲 PERSONALIZED DU‘A
(Inspired by Qur’an 85:13 and Hadith Muslim 2955a)
Not from the Prophet’s exact words — but drawn from authentic meanings
Yā Muʿīd,
Restore my soul to what You love.
Return to me the parts of myself I lost along the way.
Rebuild my īmān from the ruins of regret.
And when You resurrect me on the Last Day — let it be into Your light.
