Yashal's POV:-
قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ
اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
O Prophet, say to the people, O My servants who have wronged themselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins, and He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.”
I smiled and for a few moments, I kept reciting the verse over and over again with silent eyes. The more times I kept reciting it, the more I felt like I could never get enough to be satisfied. My eyes looked ahead as if I were seeing Allah.
"What does this world know of the light the Qur'an holds?. The world remains unaware of the soul the Qur'an breathes.”
After praying Tahajjud, I opened the Quran and started to expound on it. Taemoor was sound asleep. I had a separate room for prayer but I love praying near Taemoor while making Dua for him. I looked up at him and smiled. He was very peaceful and unconcerned with everything in the world after I recited the Quran. I kept looking at him for a few moments, then looked away. If you start looking at your husband with love, time will pass and you won't even realize it.
I read the verse and took a copy. Bubbly had also woken up with me. No matter how much she is in deep sleep she wakes up after hearing the Quran. She was sitting next to me, looking at the Quran. I opened the copy and started writing,
"Allah Almighty. In this verse, Allah says to His servants, meaning all His servants, not just the righteous but all those who have wronged themselves. The word that has been used to refer to wrongdoing is, means exceeding the limit of something, deviating from moderation, or committing excess. Here Allah Almighty has called those servants who go beyond the limit of sins, and Allah has called them excess over themselves; why do humans abuse themselves? Because they don't know that they will suffer in the future. They always think about the present moment and do whatever their nafs want and abuse themselves as if they think they are with themselves. I think those who forget Allah are only wronging themselves. Even though the voice of this wrong is not heard. That inner voice that calls them to be good to Allah is always there. But they swallow these voices and abuse themselves by listening to their own selves, nafs. I think our enemy is the self as well as Satan. I really liked what I read somewhere: That in the jihad of the self, one does not have to kill the opponent but rather makes one's subordinate submissive. The self is not evil, but the one who incites it must be true, mature, and genuine. The nafs become your slaves. In fact, we become slaves to ourselves if we try to make as submissive. So the Nafs should not even dare to raise their voices; Satan also has contact with the Nafs’ soul. If our soul becomes our ally, then victory will be ours. Not Satan's”
When my hands stopped, I looked at Taemoor for a moment to see if he was asleep or not. I saw that he was getting up and I knew what he would do after he got up. He got up and came limping towards me. He hadn't fully awake yet.
I silently watched him do all this.
He stood on my head, placed both his hands on the sides of my head, and kissed the top of my head gently. His action showed pure love, and lastly, he walked towards the washroom at the same slow pace. I kept looking at my husband without smiling, then shook my head and started writing.
