My dear akhwaat fee deen, I chose the following verses from Surat Al-Inshiqaq which was revealed in Makkah.Masha Allah the verses remind us that a day will come when we will be counted for what we have done. So my dear sisters in Islam let us work righteously by observing whatever we are doing/saying as for sure we will be counted as Allah mentioned in the following verse. May Allah make it as a reminder for myself and for you all my dear sisters.
[يأَيُّهَا الإِنسَـنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَى رَبِّكَ كَدْحاً] (O man! Verily, you are returning towards your Lord with your deeds and actions, a sure returning,) meaning, `verily you are hastening to your Lord and working deeds.' [فَمُلَـقِيهِ] (and you will meet.) `Then you will meet that which you did of good or evil.' A proof for this is what Abu Dawud At-Tayalisi recorded from Jabir, that the Messenger of Allah said, «قَالَ جِبْرِيلُ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، عِشْ مَا شِئْتَ فَإِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ، وَأَحْبِبْ (مَنْ) شِئْتَ فَإِنَّكَ مُفَارِقُهُ، وَاعْمَلْ مَا شِئْتَ فَإِنَّكَ مُلَاقِيه» (Jibril said, "O Muhammad! Live how you wish, for verily you will die; love what you wish, for verily you will part with it; and do what you wish, for verily you will meet it (your deed).) There are some people who refer the pronoun back to the statement "your Lord.'' Thus, they hold the Ayah to mean, "and you will meet your Lord.'' This means that He will reward you for your work, and pay you for your efforts. Therefore, both of these two views are connected. Al-`Awfi recorded from Ibn `Abbas that he said explaining, [يأَيُّهَا الإِنسَـنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَى رَبِّكَ كَدْحاً] (O man! Verily, you are returning towards your Lord with your deeds and actions, a sure returning,) "Whatever deed you do, you will meet Allah with it, whether it is good or bad.'' SubhanaAllah the verse to me its a warning for watching and thinking whatever Im doing or saying as for sure a day will come and we will be counted for what we have done. Thus, seeking for the best on that day I have to do nothing than what pleasing Allah subhanahu wata’ala. My dear akhwaat fee deen let us take few minutes to think were we are before being guided to dawahtul salaffiyyah, how we think we were correct for what we have been doing and come to see how wrong we were, May Allah forgive us and let us do nothing than what pleasing Him in a correct way.
Then my dear akhwaat fee deen see how Allah ended the surah [فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ] (So, announce to them a painful torment.) meaning, `inform them, O Muhammad, that Allah has prepared for them a painful torment.' Then Allah says, [إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّـلِحَـتِ] (Save those who believe and do righteous good deeds,) This is a clear exception meaning, `but those who believe.' This refers to those who believe in their hearts. Then the statement, "and do righteous good deeds,'' is referring to that which they do with their limbs. [لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ] (for them is a reward) meaning, in the abode of the Hereafter. [غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ] (that will never come to an end.) Ibn `Abbas said, "Without being decreased.'' Mujahid and Ad-Dahhak both said, "Without measure.'' The result of their statements is that it (the reward) is without end. This is as Allah says, [عَطَآءً غَيْرَ مَجْذُوذٍ] (A gift without an end.) (11:108) As-Suddi said, "Some of them have said that this means without end and without decrease.'' MashaAllah, the verses remind me whatever difficult I will face in pleasing Allah I have to be patient since a gift without an end is awaiting for the righteous. Thus I take this as my motivator in trying to do the righteous good deeds…May Allah subhanahu wata’ala make easy the way of performing the righteous deed for me and other muslims around the world..Ameen InshaAllah let us remind ourselves more concern our deeds by reading the following article: http://www.troid.org/articles/ibaadah/knowledge/other/actions.htm Wabillahi tawfiq, Farida Osman Ibrahim ShabhayMoshi-Kilimanjaro |
