QURAAN LESSONS

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

Has He no power to give life to the dead? [40]

(Has He no power to give life to the dead? Can it be imagined that the Supreme Being in whose controlling power is death and life and the entire world is not able to bring the dead to life?

COMMENTARY: The Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam is reported to have said: 'When anyone recites this verse of Surah Al-Qiyamah, he should say: “Yes indeed I am among those who bear witness that He has the power to do it". The same Hadith narrative states that when a person recites Surah Teen and reaches the verse 'Is Allah not the Greatest Ruler of all the rulers? [95:8]', he should utter the same words.

The same Hadith states that when a person recites Surah Al-Mursalat and reaches the verse 'Now, in which discourse, after this, will they believe? [77:50]', he should say 'I believe in Allah'.

Alhamdulillah The Commentary on Surah Al-Qiyamah Ends here

THE MESSAGE

PRIDE
-----
Haritha b. Wahb AL-KhuzaIi RA reported Allah's Messenger (May peace be upon him) as saying: May I not inform you about the inmates of Paradise? (And then informing about them) said: Every meek person who is considered to be humble and if they were to adjure in the name of Allah, Allah would certainly fulfill it. May I not inform you about the inmates of Hell-Fire? They are all proud, mean and haughty.

Pride leads to the following evils:
1) The person thinks the world revolves around him.
2) He thinks every one is out to harass him,
3) It leads to selfishness and hardheartedness.
4) Pride becomes like blinkers and he lives in a narrow world.

Abu Huraira RA reported Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) as saying: A man expressed his intention to give charity, so he came out with charity and placed it in the hand of an adulteress. In the morning, the people were talking and saying: charity was given to an adulteress last night. He (the giver of Sadaqa) said: 0 Allah, to Thee be the praise-to an adulteress. He then again expressed his intention to give charity; so he went out with the charity and placed it in the hand of a rich person. In the morning the people were talking and saying: Charity was given to a rich person. He (the giver of charity) said: 0 Allah, to Thee be the praise-to a well-to-do person. He then expressed his intention to give charity, so he went out with charity and placed it in the hand of a thief. In the morning, the people were talking and saying: Charity was given to a thief. So (one of the persons) said: 0 Allah, to Thee be the praise (what a misfortune it is that charity has been given to) the adulteress, to a rich person. to a thief! There came (the angel to him) and he was told: Your charity has been accepted. As for the adulteress (the charity might become the means) whereby she might restrain herself from fornication. The rich man might perhaps learn a lesson and spend from what Allah has given him, and the thief might thereby refrain from committing theft.

When a beggar comes to you, he is giving you the opportunity to give charity whereby you gain great rewards. Thus he is doing you a favour and not you doing him a favour. Allah did not ask you to judge a person when giving charity. You get your reward depending upon your intention and sincerity. Life has a way of teaching you when you have pride and are arrogant and commit other sins which displeases Allah, so beware Allah is watching you.

There is an Urdu saying which says 'there is delay but not darkness with Allah. History is full of stories, when the wheel of fortune turns, beggars become wealthy and the wealthy go begging from those that they turned away.'

You will see it in your life in many ways as I have seen in my life. Try by all means to gain the nearness of Allah. A person with pride the size of a mustard seed will not enter paradise. We dislike a proud person but unfortunately our eyes look ahead. We do not see the effect our pride has on other people. This is the demand of being a decent human being and a good Muslim. Leave alone the nearness of Allah, The nearness of the Aulia is even more stringent. Until you do not sleep on a dung heap like a stray dog you are not fit for the company of the Aulia.

HANDY HINT
Streamline your books. You may not want to hear this, but f you read it already and don't plan on re-reading it, you need to let it go. I know it was a great book, but it is taking up space on your shelves and potentially keeping out other great reading material. If it was so great, then share it with a friend and let them enjoy it as much as you did.

A THOUGHT

BLIND IMITATION
-------------------
"O wretch, why did you not come and say to me, 'Such and such a disastrous affair has occurred?' The servant replied, "By Allah, I came again and again, that I might acquaint you with the matter. You were always saying, 'The ass is gone, my lad!'

Along with the others in high excitement. So I went away, thinking you knew all about it, and were pleased at the transaction, being a wise man." The Sufi said, "They were all singing the same words, so I felt impelled to sing them as well. Blind imitation of them has undone me. Cursed be that blind imitation!"

THE SMILE
Added to the Paper Joke
------------------------
As part of his talk at a banquet, our minister told some jokes and a few funny stories. Since he planned to use the same anecdotes at a meeting the next day, he asked reporters covering the event not to include them in their articles.

Reading the paper the following morning, he noticed that one well-meaning cub reporter had ended his story on the banquet with the observation "The minister told a number of stories that cannot be published."
