Little Human: those were some gems of sayings…

Indeed ALLAH is all forgiving… and we must repent all the time

and while we are at it, let’s seek some more of the guidance for it is said that** “Al Quran-O-yofassirahu ba’adahu ba’ad” ** that is A part of Quran explains the other part.

The point of ponder at this very moment can start from my last quote from the Book of Guidance, as I posted the surah AL-As’r, second ayaah of which was: Lo! man is a state of (continous) loss

let’s look then whom ALLAH is declaring the one who are not in loss:

2:185 Ramadhan is the (month)** in which was sent down the Qur’an, as a guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (Between right and wrong).**

Al-Baqara (The Cow)

Here, ALLAH is saying that Quran is a guidance to every human being (the whole mankind) yet we see sometimes we fail to be guided. Ever wondered why?

Allah Himself answered to us in the very beggining of the same surah:

2:2 This is the Book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, **to those who fear Allah (muttaqeen). **

Al-Baqara (The Cow)

same is iterated in next surah

3:138 Here is a plain statement to men, **a guidance and instruction to those who fear Allah.(Muttaqeen) **

Al-Imran (The Family of Imran)

So, the end result: everyone agrees Quran is a guidance to everyone BUT then who will be guided from it? Only those who fear ALLAH, those who have Taqwah in their heart.. who see the ayaat of ALLAH and reflect upon it as hadhrat Ali said:

Look for what is being said not who is saying it.

If we go about to say everyone that look at yourself u are a sinner urself, and u are preaching to us, where will u find a person who is not a sinner?? how can u bring a prophet again for spreading Islam??? … it’s an excuse not to believe in the message.. a tactic of shaitaan and as described by many noted scholars a very effective one… this way by not recognising that this is what ALLAH or His Rasool:saw: is asking everyone, people indulge into looking at the messenger than the message.

We all believe that Quran is a mercy of ALLAH to us. Why? because it is a guidance to us to correct ourselves.. to watch out for warnings about wrong we do… and as said those who fear will be guided…

lets share some of the ayaat where Quran is refered to as a mercy:

7:52 For We had certainly sent unto them a Book, based on knowledge, which We explained in detail,- **a guide and a mercy to all who believe. **

Al-A’raf (The Heights)

10:57 O mankind! there hath come to you a direction from your Lord and **a healing for the (diseases) in your hearts,- and for those who believe, a guidance and a Mercy. **

Yunus

12:111 There is, in their stories, instruction for men endued with understanding. It is not a tale invented, but a confirmation of what went before it,- a detailed exposition of all things, and **a guide and a mercy to any such as believe. **

Yusuf (Joseph)

16:64 And We sent down the Book to thee for the express purpose, that thou shouldst **make clear to them those things in which they differ, and that it should be a guide and a mercy to those who believe. **

An-Nahl (The Bee)

Now, as a muslim we are supposed to share the Quran to each other as Rasoolulah (SAW) said: The Best among you is one who teaches Quran and also: Convey, even if u convey one ayat.

People argue that my religion is between me and ALLAH… Correct. As said in Quran:

6:164 Say: “Shall I seek for (my) Cherisher other than Allah, when He is the Cherisher of all things (that exist)? Every soul draws the meed of its acts on none but itself: no bearer of burdens can bear of burdens can bear the burden of another. Your goal in the end is towards Allah. He will tell you the truth of the things wherein ye disputed.”

Al-An’am (The Cattle)

and:

17:15 Who receiveth guidance, receiveth it for his own benefit: who goeth astray doth so to his own loss: No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another: nor would We visit with Our Wrath until We had sent an apostle (to give warning).

Al-Isra (The Journey by Night)

and for us last prophet has already come with clear warnings and glad tidings 1400 years ago.. so if we don’t follow it, as said in previous AYAH, wrath of ALLAH can come and as a ummah we are facing it in current times as evident.

But the very same Quran tells us about the story of People of Sabaath who were asked not to go for fishing on saturday and reserve that day solely for the worship of ALLAH. Then ALLAH tried them. How? The whole week they could not find any single fish and on saturday, all fish used to come on the surface of water.

Then there became two major groups among them:

One who remained steadfast on the command of ALLAH and did not indulged in the whispering of Shaitaan.
Second who disobeyed ALLAH for the worldly purpose.

The first group was further divided into two sub-groups:

I. Those who kept advising the wrong-doer not to disobey.

II. Those who remianed fearful of ALLAH but never asked others not to do the wrong what they were doing.

And then we find out that the saved were those from the wrath of ALLAH in this world who kept advising the wrong-doer not to disobey.

Here comes the reason of why we should keep advising for good and seek the same from others for no one is perfect. In this regard, let me share two more ayaat:

16:89 One day We shall raise from all Peoples a witness against them, from amongst themselves: and We shall bring thee (O Muhammad) as a witness against these (thy people): and We have sent down to thee the Book explaining all things,** a Guide, a Mercy, and Glad Tidings to Muslims. **

An-Nahl (The Bee)

2:143 Thus, have We made of you an Ummat justly balanced, that ye might be witnesses over the nations, and the Messenger a witness over yourselves; and We appointed the Qibla to which thou wast used, only to test those who followed the Messenger from those who would turn on their heels (From the Faith). Indeed it was (A change) momentous, except to those guided by Allah. And never would Allah Make your faith of no effect. For Allah is to all people Most surely full of kindness, Most Merciful.

Al-Baqara (The Cow)

Let us ponder upon the ayaah which talks about man in a state of (continous) loss again. So, it is established that doomed are those who have NO FEAR of ALLAH and for such people ALLAH says:

41:44 Had We sent this as a Qur’an (in the language) other than Arabic, they would have said: “Why are not its verses explained in detail? What! (a Book) not in Arabic and (a Messenger an Arab?” Say: “**It is a Guide and a Healing to those who believe; and for those who believe not, there is a deafness in their ears, and it is blindness in their (eyes): They are (as it were) being called from a place far distant!” **

Fussilat (Explained in Detail)

May ALLAH make us among Muttaqoon. I seek ALLAH’s forgiveness for any thing I may have said wrong and seek His rahma over my intentions…

Rabika .. Thanks for all the duaas:) Yes we need to hold onto these…

while we are at it let’s concentrate on the last ayaah i quoted, part of which was:

41:44 ..] and for those who believe not, there is a deafness in their ears, and it is blindness in their (eyes): They are (as it were) being called from a place far distant!

Who are these who are being called deaf and blind? A person is deaf and blind when he can not hear something which is near to him or can not see something which is **in the range of ** his sight…

That seems like it could be a pointer to people WHO claim to have imaan but deep down in their heart they Question the commands of ALLAH and mock the ayaahs in many ways, by not listening and not acting upon them or by simply make fun of the one who is conveying these ayaahs.. Let’s look at what are these people refered to as in Surah AT-Tauba (9):
