Bismillahi Rahmaani Raheem.

Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu :)

Subhannallah! When was the last time we opened the Book? Yes....the book I'm talking about is the Holy Book....Al Quran-ul-Kareem. Not just opened it but truly tried to understand it.

Doesn't it amaze you...that our creator swears upon the creation that is as clear as day to us? He swears by that which we can see to enable us to know the truth of His promise of the unseen. For example, Allah says 'Oh, I swear by the afterglow of the sunset...And by the night and all that it enshroudeth...And by the moon when she is at the full' Surah Al-Inshiqaq 16-18. And another time in Surah Al-Fajr in the first 4 ayahs....'By the dawn..By the ten nights (i.e. the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah)...And by the even and odd (of all the creations of Allah)...And by the night when it departs.'

But the fifth ayah is a challenge for us....it demands for us to do something that we 'believe' we do not have time for. Translation of the fifth ayah of Surah Al-Fajr is 'There surely is an oath for thinking man'. None with knowledge and understand can deny the truth of the oath of our creator. Thinking man requires deep thought and analysis of what you hear. So hearing the Quran is not enough. You need to try to understand the deeper meaning...as humans we can only scratch the surface as Allah is Al-Alim....we may infer it in one way but with Allah is all knowledge.

Oh creation...since when did we stop the urge for learning more? Since when did we decide to forget about our spiritual needs? The need to ponder and wonder about the creator and the creation? We are too busy chasing after the creation that we forget the creator was He who created them. Let's turn back to our Lord. Let's remember Him, thank Him and glorify Him.

Don't forget to do your dhikr:
Subhanallah x33, Alhamdulillah x33 and Allahu Akbar x33. Then the dua:
لا الله الا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد وهو علي كل شَيْءٍ قدير.
None has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, He has no partner, His is the dominion and His is the praise and He is able to do all things.

Stay blessed,
Keep on smiling 😊
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.
