Surah Al-Qiyamah 75: - (The Resurrection)
With the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Very-Merciful

Yes, We are able to reset (even) his fingertips perfectly. [4]

COMMENTARY: Fingertips look alike, but the fingerprints are different. There are zillions of human beings, but the patterns of lines on the skins of the fingers are distinctly recognizable. Thumbprints have played a decisive role in court decisions and judgements. Technical analysis reveals that the patterns of lines are not only on the skin of the thumbs, but also on the skins of all the fingers - distinguishable and recognizable.

In sum, man is amazed as to how Allah will reassemble his bones and give him a new life again, but he should think further than this. He will be raised with the same face, shape and size, and with the same distinctive features, so much so that his fingertips and fingerprints will be reshaped as they were in the first instance of his creation. Fa-tabarak Allahu Ahsanul khaliqin - 'Glorious is Allah, the Best of Creators!'

TAKABBUR (PRIDE)
-------------------
Allah Ta'ala says: "Verily, Allah does not love the proud ones."

Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam said: "He who has a grain of pride in his heart will not enter Jannah."

Takabbur is to consider oneself superior to others in attributes of excellence. There are many kinds of Takabbur. Most kinds are subtle, concealed and difficult to detect. Takabbur is to voluntarily and consciously regard oneself superior to others in religious or mundane excellence in a way which engenders contempt in the heart for others. This is the reality of Takabbur and this is Haraam. Takabbur consists of two ingredients, viz.,

* The feeling of superiority--considering oneself to be great.
* Contempt for others.

Takabbur not induced voluntarily, but entering the heart involuntarily is not sinful. Such non-volitional pride is merely the external dimension or form of Takabbur. Up to this stage Takabbur is not sinful. But when one voluntarily entertains the feeling of pride which had initially crept in involuntarily, then it will be sinful Takabbur. In this case the mere form of Takabbur is transformed into the reality of Takabbur.

Where the condition of contempt for others is non-existent, Takabbur -- will not be applicable. Mere belief in superiority and inferiority greatness and smallness -- is not Takabbur. For example: an old man regarding an infant to be small without the notion of contempt for it. But, the one who intentionally considers himself better than others, becomes arrogant. His Nafs swells up with pride, the consequences of which then manifest themselves.

Examples of pride are: to regard others with contempt; to take offence when others do not greet one first; to be offended if others do not offer you respect; to be annoyed when someone admonishes you; refusal to concede the truth even after having realized it. May Allah Ta'ala keep us under His Protection and save us from Takabbur, for indeed, it is the severest of maladies. It is the root of all spiritual ailments.

It was takabbur which made Shaitaan a deviate. The Hadith Shareef therefore sounds dire warnings in regard to Takabbur. Allah Ta'ala has warned that the abode of the proud ones will indeed be vile. Pride is the exclusive prerogative of Allah Ta'ala. Allah Ta'ala will destroy all those who desire to participate in this exclusive Attribute of greatness. Rasulullah Sallallahu alayhi wasallam said that the Mutakabbireen (The proud ones) will be encased in trunks of fire of Jahannam.

THE REMEDY
This malady is remedies by reflecting on the Splendour, Glory and Majesty of Allah Ta'ala. This reflection will produce in one a realization of one's own lowly position. Your own excellence will then recede into nothingness. Also, humble yourself in the presence of those whom you regard as your inferior. Be respectful to them so that you become imbued with humility.

THE AMAZING ADVENTURE OF THE MOSQUITO
---------------------------------------------
Mosquitoes are creatures with which most humans are familiar because of their visits to our homes during the summer.

Did you ever get the chance to look at a mosquito closely? Do you know why the abdomen of this mosquito is red? His abdomen is red because it is filled with the blood of the person on whom the mosquito has landed. Why do mosquitoes suck blood? Many people believe that the mosquitoes feed on blood. In reality, mosquitoes feed on flower nectar.

The female mosquito is the only one that sucks blood, and that is for the sake of the eggs that she carries.

After learning this, you will probably view mosquitoes with different eyes. There are things about mosquitoes that will surprise you even more. As you know mosquitoes are creatures that live on land and that fly, but they grow in water and after they mature, they come out of the water without even getting wet. Did you ever hear of this incredible story?
