ALLAH's ADDRESS TO MUSLIMS (PART 23)

ALLAH's ADDRESS TO MUSLIMS (PART 23) -

In the name of Allah and may Allah's blessing be upon the last and final prophet, Mohammadﷺ
 
{O believers! Do not take your parents and siblings as trusted allies if they choose disbelief over belief. And whoever of you does so, they are the wrongdoers.
Say, “If your parents and children and siblings and spouses and extended family and the wealth you have acquired and the trade you fear will decline and the homes you cherish— are more beloved to you than Allah and His Messenger and struggling in His Way, then wait until Allah brings about His Will. Allah does not guide the rebellious people.”}
Quran 9:23 & 24

Explaination -
The ayat is telling all Muslims that their love for Allah and His Messenger is obligatory on them in a special degree. That degree is the highest, the foremost. This degree requires that no other bond or love for anything or anyone should ever prevail over it. So, whoever fails to come up with this level of love becomes deserving of punishment from Allah.

It was made amply clear that those who, despite the standing command of shariah rules, opted for their temporal relationships and kept clinging to their family, relatives, wealth and property, shall soon find out that this conduct of theirs was not going to serve their purpose even in this mortal world. If they were thinking that they would keep basking in the sunshine of family, wealth and property in everlasting peace and tranquility, then, they would never realize this dream.

May Allah make us steadfast.

ALLAH's SPECIAL ADDRESS TO HUMANITY (PART 11) - In the name of Allah and may Allah's blessing be upon the last and final prophet, Mohammadﷺ   { O humanity! Worship your Lord, Who created you and those before you, so that you may become mindful ˹of Him˺. ˹He is the One˺ Who has made the earth a place of settlement for you and the sky a canopy; and sends down rain from the sky, causing fruits to grow as a provision for you. So do not knowingly set up equals to Allah. And if you are in doubt about what We have revealed to Our servant [Mohammadﷺ] ,then produce a sûrah like it and call your helpers other than Allah, if what you say is true. But if you are unable to do so—and you will certainly never be able to do so—then fear the Fire fuelled with people and stones, which is prepared for the disbelievers. Give good news ˹O Prophet˺ to those who believe and do good that they will have Gardens under which rivers flow. Whenever provided with fruit, they will say, “This is what we were ...

Be mindful of your Lord, and beware of a Day when no parent will be of any benefit to their child, nor will a child be of any benefit to their parent. Surely Allah’s promise is true. So do not let the life of this world deceive you, nor let the Chief Deceiver[satan] deceive you about Allah Indeed, Allah ˹alone˺ has the knowledge of the Hour. He sends down the rain, and knows what is in the wombs. No soul knows what it will earn for tomorrow, and no soul knows in what land it will die. Surely Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware. } Quran 31:33 & 34 Explanation In the present world, people have been given a certain amount of liberty as a means of putting them to the test. Man takes this trial-oriented freedom as the real freedom. This is the greatest illusion. All human evils are born out of this illusion. Apparently, it seems ...
