Re: Post an Ayat - say some something about the ayah - nominate someone!
Haha I just posted in Pippins thread, thinking it was the same thread, as they seem related. Another one I like reflecting on is Surah Al AsrOriginally posted by candyapple View Post
By the Time! Man is surely in loss, except those who believed and did good works, and exhorted one another to Truth, and exhorted one another to patience.
I can't pass commentary on this as br. Eesa beautifully put above.
However in terms of a personal reflection (that's general and not reflected specifically to that particular surah, but time as a whole), it really makes me realise how time is running out.. it makes me sad because people in this world have forgotten.. both muslims and non muslims too, people are wasting their lives away only focusing on careers and wealth.. and time is closing in.. it truly is. And it seems so distant.. but we never know when the Angel of Death will come for us. And then it will be too late to change our ways, to repent and seek forgiveness, and all those things we promised ourselves we would do in the future. Death could be immiment but we can't help thinking that it is far away, it's all written and we don't know when our time is. I say I will stop this, I will start this, I will keep on seeking forgiveness, people plan out their whole lives candyapple, and it's gone in an instant. And then we don't have our beauty or wealth, no status or children, no worldly benefits.. People treat this world as a joke as a game, solely for fun and amusement, people forget their purpose.. and we will be accountable, we will only have our deeds, when our time is run out. What if we sleep and we don't wake up again in this world? I always think to myself.. am I prepared to face my lord.. and it makes me tremble because i'm not.
May Allah s.w.t forgive our sins, keep us firm on the straight path, and with his mercy and blessing, allow us entrance to Jannah. Ameen.Comment

-often wonder if patience means perseverance aswell."If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor."

Luqman 31:33
O mankind, fear your Lord and fear a Day when no father will avail his son, nor will a son avail his father at all. Indeed, the promise of Allah is truth, so let not the worldly life delude you and be not deceived about Allah by the Deceiver.
This ayat just reminds me that at the end of the day this life is short and even your own family cant help you on rhe day of judgement so do as much as you can now and the main aim is akhira so I cant keep my self attached to this dunya thats what i think when i read this ayatComment

Re: Post an Ayat - say some something about the ayah - nominate someone!
Imagine lightning striking everytime you sin, would we still continue or stop at an instant? So when a reminder or a small thought comes our way why is it possible that we could shun it to the other side and continue in our sin, as in the akhira much worse than a storm is waiting for us..Or [it is] like a rainstorm from the sky within which is darkness, thunder and lightning. They put their fingers in their ears against the thunderclaps in dread of death. But Allah is encompassing of the disbelievers.
The lightning almost snatches away their sight. Every time it lights [the way] for them, they walk therein; but when darkness comes over them, they stand [still]. And if Allah had willed, He could have taken away their hearing and their sight. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.It all starts with a thoughtComment

Also another one sis that had me thinking back no I don't want to be replaced but I wanna be the new replacement that Allah loves is this ayah:Originally posted by SpreadTheHaqq View Post

Behold! You are those who are called to spend in the Cause of Allah, yet among you are some who are niggardly. And whoever is niggardly, it is only at the expense of his ownself. But Allah is Rich (Free of all wants), and you (mankind) are poor. And if you turn away (from Islam and the obedience of Allah), He will exchange you for some other people, and they will not be your likes.
I think reverts are replacing born Muslims in this regard"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor."
