SURAH AD-DAHR: 76 - (The Time)
With the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Very-Merciful

(It will be said to them,) "This is a reward for you, and your effort has been appreciated." [22]

COMMENTARY: [It will be said to them,] "This is a reward for you, and your effort has been appreciated. 76:22). Allah will address the inmates of Paradise once they have entered Paradise, and will announce to them that the amazing bounties are granted to them as a reward for their good deeds they had done in the world, and their deeds have been appreciated by Allah. These expressions will be made to them by way of congratulation.

For the people of love, the Divine congratulatory expressions will outweigh all the other blessings of Paradise put together. The congratulatory words are a proof positive of Divine pleasure.

THE MESSAGE

LOVE ANOTHER FOR YOURSELF
by Imam Ghazali RA
------------------
He who loves himself loves another for himself. Every living being loves his life. That is he/she has in their very nature an attachment to live and dislike for death. Man wants that he should live forever and that his qualities should gain perfection. Nobody wants his destruction and loss of his qualities. So there are several causes of love.

(1) The first cause of love is that a man loves his life, then his limbs, then his properties, children, relatives and friends. Man does not love these things only for them, but for the fact they they help towards his long life and attainment of perfection. Even after his death, he wants to live through his heirs.

(2) The second cause of love is getting benefit. A man loves one from whom he gets benefit as he is a servant of benefits. The Prophet Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam said: 0 Allah, do not allow a sinner to do good to me, as my mind may wish to love him. This shows that mind turns towards the benefactor.

There is difference between love for health and love for a physician. Physician is the cause of health and therefore for the sake of health, a physician is loved. Similarly education is loved and also the teacher of education, but education is loved for itself and the teacher is loved as he/she is the cause of education. Similarly food and drink and money are loved, but the former two are loved for themselves and the third is loved as it is the instrument of getting food and drink.

(3) The third cause of love is to love a thing for its quality and not for the thing itself. A good figure is loved for its beauty. Even the Prophet Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam said: Allah is beautiful and He loves beauty.

(4) The fourth cause of love is acquaintance with beauty. The external eye appreciates external beauty. A man is beautiful when all his organs are proportionately beautiful. When his organs are not such, he cannot be called beautiful even though his colour is light. This is called acquaintance with beauty. So to get acquainted with perfection is a cause for love.

Question. The matters described above are objects of five external sense organs. Can beauty be appreciated other than by external five senses?
Answer. It can be realised. Many a time colourless and figureless things are called beautiful, such as the conduct of man is beautiful, the knowledge of man is beautiful, the character of man is beautiful. The meaning of good conduct is that his knowledge, courage, God-fear, generosity, gentlemanliness and other qualities are beautiful.

Most of those qualities can be guessed not by external organs but by inner light. These conducts and attributes are objects of love and the one possessing these qualities is loved. People love the Prophets, saints and founders of sects for their qualities though they did not see them. Love reaches to such high pitch that the lovers are ready sometimes to dedicate their lives and properties for them.

These internal qualities are divided into two kinds - knowledge and power -. All qualities grow out of these two qualities which cannot be gained by external senses. A man possesses two things, external figure and internal nature. External eye sees the beauty of external figure but the internal secret nature is seen by the internal eye. He who is deprived of this secret eye cannot see the secret beauty and hence does not love it. He whose secret eye is strong can see the internal secret beauties.

NEWS

Barack Obama has appointed an Indian economist linked to Hindu extremists groups in India on his transition team. The economist, Ms. Sonal Shah, has a relationship with the Hindu extremist group, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP). This militant group was held responsible for the genocide against Muslims in the western Indian state of Gujarat in 2002. Thousands of Muslims were that killed and 100,000 left homeless.

MEANWHILE... In an internet audio message, a man said to be Al–Qaeda second in command, Ayman Al Zawahiri, has sent a warning to the new US president, Barack Obama. He warned the US president-elect, against sending more troops to Afghanistan and vowed to continue attacks against what he called "criminal" America. The message said Obama will fail if he followed the policies of George Bush. Obama has announced that he plans to withdraw troops from Iraq and send them to Afghanistan.

The Saudi owners of the Sirius Star are in negotiations with Somali pirates who have demanded a ransom for the super-tanker laden with $100m of oil. Saudi Arabia's foreign minister, Prince Saud al-Faisal, says it is not best to negotiate with hijackers but the final decision rests with the owners of the ship. The company which operates the Sirius Star has remained tight-lipped about the claims of negotiations. The Sirius Star is now anchored at the Somali pirate lair of Harardhere.

The controversial Broadcast Amendment Bill has been handed President Kgalema Motlanthe. It was passed by parliament despite strong resistance from opposition parties. The bill empowers Parliament to ask the President to fire certain members or the entire Board as the need arises.

Jacob Zuma, ANC president, says those who have broken away from the ANC are like the donkey on which, according to the Bible, Jesus rode into Jerusalem. Zuma, used this metaphor when he addressed hundreds of Cosatu workers in a packed hall in Polokwane as part of his early election campaign in Limpopo. He says there is a story in the Bible about a "lucky donkey" on whose back Jesus rode into Jerusalem.

A THOUGHT

LIFE HEREAFTER
----------------
Remember the condition of a sleeping person. He sees in a dream the sting of a serpent and feels also its pangs. Even it occurs that he rises up suddenly with a loud shriek, removes the sweat of his face and shifts elsewhere.

He suffers pangs as a man in a wakeful state suffers pangs of a snake-bite. You see his body in a peaceful state and do not see any serpent around him. Yet it is a fact that he sees the serpents and feels their sting but it is not true in your case.- Therefore there is no untruth in the saying of the Prophet Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam.

You know that a serpent itself cannot give you pangs, but the poison which it throws in you gives you pangs. The poison itself is not pang, but the reaction which is creates in you gives you punishment. If the reaction is caused without poison, it is sufficient as a punishment.

THE SMILE

THE WEATHERMAN
------------------
Did you hear about the weatherman who, despite his training and sparkling credentials, ran into a terrible unlucky streak?

He became something of a local joke. The town’s newspaper began keeping a record of his predictions. A year later, the paper reported that he’d been wrong almost three hundred times in a single year.

Unable to handle the pressure, the station manager fired him.

So the meteorologist moved far away and applied for another job as a weatherman. When he got to the question on the application about why he had left his last job, he wrote, “The climate didn’t agree with me.”.
