QURAAN LESSONS

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

Rather, man will be a witness against himself, [14]
even though he may offer his excuses. [15]

COMMENTARY: (Rather, man will be a witness against himself, even though he may offer his excuses. One meaning of the words Baseer and Baseerah is 'to see'. Another meaning of Baseerah is 'evidence', as for instance in: ...”There have come to you evidences from your Lord.” [6:104]

In this verse the word Baseer is the plural of Baseerah and it means 'evidence, proof, argument or insight'. The word Ma'aathir is the plural of Mi'thaar meaning, 'excuse'. The verse purports to say that for purposes of following the procedures of fairness and justice, man will be shown each of his deeds on the Plain of Reckoning, although in fact this will not be necessary for him, because every man knows what he does in this world, and he will recall his deeds in the Hereafter, even though he will make excuses. Furthermore, he will see all his good and bad actions on the Plain of Reckoning as the Qur'an says: “...And they will find what they did all there.”[18:49]'

If the word Baseerah is taken in the sense of 'evidence, or proof, the verse signifies that man will be a clear proof against himself, in spite of any excuses he might offer.

However, man fails to realize that in this situation, the limbs of his own body [his hearing, his sight, his two hands and his two legs] will testify against him. This is the meaning of the words “even though he may offer his excuses.” [75:15]'

THE MESSAGE
SMILE
------
Laughing moderately can act as a cure or as therapy for depression and sadness. It has a strong influence on keeping the soul light and the heart clear. Abu Darda RA said: "I make it a practice to laugh in order to give rest and comfort to my heart." And the noblest of peoples Muhammad Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam would laugh sometimes until his molars became visible."

Laughing is an efficacious way to achieve comfort and light-heartedness, but keep in mind that as in other things, you should not be immoderate. The Prophet Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam said: "do not laugh excessively, for verily excessive laughter kills the heart." What is called for is moderation.

"And if you smile in the face of your brother then that is a form of chanty."
Also he, {Sulayman AS smiled, amused by her speech} (Qur'aan 27:19)

Also when you laugh, you should not do so in a mocking or in a jeering fashion: "but when he came to them with Our Aayaat [proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.] behold! They laughed at them." (Qur'aan 43:47)

Among the pleasures of Paradise will be laughter: "And this Day [the Day of Resurrection those who believe will laugh." (Qur'aan 83: 34)

The Arabs held in high esteem a person who was known for his smile and laughter. They believed this to be a sign of a generous personality and of a person who has a noble disposition and a clear mind.

The truth IS that the principles of Islam are based on moderation and on good measure, whether it is in matters of belief worship, manners, or conduct. Islam does not condone a rigid frowning expression, nor does it condone a constant playful giddiness; rather what it does promote is seriousness when it is called for, and a reasonable level of light-heartedness when it is called for.

Bearing a gloomy mien and a frowning countenance are marks of a lowly character a troubled natures and hot-headedness. "Then he frowned and he looked in a bad tempered way." (Qur'aan 74:22)

The Prophet Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam said: "Do not disparage (Underestimate) any good deed (No matter how small it is), even if that deed was to meet your brother with a friendly countenance." Ahmed Ameen said in his book Fayd al-Khaatir.

While the fish is grilling, make the sauce. In a saucepan, fry the garlic in the 2 Tbsp olive oil for a couple of minutes. Remove from heat. Mix the garlic with the mayonnaise parsley, extra olive oil, lemon juice and aromat and stir to mix well.

Place the cooked fillets in a serving dish and serve the mashed potatoes and veggies. Don not forget the sauce.

A THOUGHT

INDIAN PROVERB on ATTAINING GOALS
---------------------------------------
When you shoot an arrow for distance, aim high not on the level, for even if it does not go the distance you desired, it will go much farther than it would have if you had shot it on the level.

 
THE SMILE

A TOP SENIOR MOMENT
-----------------------
A self-important college freshman walking along the beach took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen resting on the steps why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation. "You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one," the student said loud enough for others to hear. "The young people of today grew up with television, jetplanes, space travel, man walking on the moon. We have nuclear energy, ships and cell phones, computers with lightspeed... and many more.

After a brief silence, the senior citizen responded as follows. 'You're right son. We didn't have those things when we were young... so we invented them. Now, you arrogant little one! What are you doing for the next generation?
