Surah Ar-Rahman (The All-Merciful)

This Surah is Madani, and it has 78 verses and 3 sections
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Most-Merciful

"And for the one who is fearful of having to stand before his Lord, there are two gardens" [46]
"So, which of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?" [47]

COMMENTARY: The Delight of the Righteous in Paradise - The foregoing verses spoke of the horrible punishments to be faced by the disbelievers. In the current set of verses we are told about the rewards and bounties reserved for the righteous believers. The verse 46 speaks of two Gardens that are exclusively reserved 'for those who are fearful of having to stand before their Lord'. This phrase refers to those fortunate believers who are, at all times, concerned about reckoning on the Day of Judgement and, as a result, keep away from all sorts of sins under all circumstances.

Obviously, these are the people who enjoy special nearness to Allah. In verse [62) below we read: (And lesser than these two, there are two other gardens ... 55:62) This verse does not specify the class of righteous believers who will receive these gardens. However, the phrase 'min dunihima' ('and lesser than these two') indicates that the Gardens mentioned in verse [62] are for the general body of believers who are lesser in their spiritual attainment than the foremost believers who are granted special nearness to Allah.

... to be continued ...

Life is a broken Workshop

Full of parts, wheels, songs and things
Broken hearts and springy springs
You cannot quite pinpoint
Where the rails came off

Somehow it just happens
Without warning or even a second thought
We forget the significance
The reason and the joy

We forget that we must
Love one another
Respect one another
Uplift one another

When we realize the broken pieces
Shards of glass and splinters
That came from years of struggles
Of life’s little juggles

We want to jump and make amends
Sometimes there is still a way
To use some glue and fix the fray
Otherwise we have to leave things in disarray
