Today's chubba is about really at the end of the day a single aya of Suritul Isra, the 17th

emphatic than the term kalb. Some of you are familiar with the term kalb for the heart. But the word

Fuhad which comes from fahad al-lahm, olahm faide means roasted flesh, meaning when the heart is overwhelmed or when it's on fire.
