🌸 Something to Ponder...! 🌸

When we sit in a car, we know nothing about the driver, yet we sit back calmly; some even fall asleep during the journey.

When sitting on a bus, we never even think about how the driver is, or whether he even knows how to drive or not? And we travel enjoyably—some catch up on their sleep, while others enjoy the views.

When we board a train, we neither know the driver's name nor have any proof of his expertise, yet we sit with peace of mind, talk, eat, and happily move towards our destination.

Upon boarding an airplane, within a few moments we are up in the skies, and there, we don't even know what the pilot looks like... yet we sleep soundly, without a single doubt in our hearts.

When we place so much trust in the operators of these worldly vehicles—whom we don't even know—then...

Why do we doubt that Lord (Rab) who is running the vehicle of our life Himself?

That Lord who created us, who is watching us every single moment, who is well-aware of our state, who is our greatest well-wisher, and who said:

> "وَهُوَ مَعَكُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ"

"And He is with you wherever you are..." (Al-Hadid: 4)

Then why do we become victims of depression? Why do we remain worried? Why do we let the hardships of our life overpower our hearts and minds?

🌿 Will the Allah who has taken care of you until today, not take care of you in the future?

🌿 The One who gave you so much without even asking, why would He not give when asked?

🌿 The One who heard your plea without you uttering a word, why would He not have mercy on your prostrations (Sajdahs)?

That's it! Just trust Him, believe in Him, and live in peace...

Because the vehicle of your life is being run by Allah...

The Blessing of Prayer and Human Nature

The Blessing of Prayer and Human Nature

Today after Fajr, while I was reciting (the Quran), I stopped at a verse of Surah Al-Ma'arij. It was about the creation of man, describing how man was originally created. The verse was: "Indeed, mankind was created anxious." (Innal-insana khuliqa haloo'a) The reality is that man has been created with very little endurance or patience. When I looked at the English translation, the meaning of "Haloo'a" was written as "anguish". Now, if I try to understand "anguish" in Urdu, it means a person who has restlessness, anxiety, or impatience. Anyway, I settled for the meaning "weak-willed" and took it in the sense of impatience. The next verse was even more meaningful: "When evil touches him, he is distressed." (Iza massahush-sharru jazoo'a) I understood the word "Jazoo'a", and its English translation was also very close—"impatient", meaning restless. That is, when any hardship or pain touches a man, he immediately wants it to be lifted and ended somehow. "And when good touches him, he withholds [it]." (Wa iza massahul-khairu manoo'a) And when prosperity comes to him, he becomes very miserly. "Manoo'a" means stingy or a miser. When he receives a blessing, his heart desires that the blessing should remain only with him and no one else should get it. The verse that brings tears came after that: "Except those who pray." (Illal-musalleen) But those who offer prayers are not like this. This means that except for the people who establish prayer, the general condition of mankind is just like this. This inherent, birth condition of man can only change when he establishes prayer. I felt a strange sense of joy thinking about this. While reading the first three verses, I was wondering why Allah Almighty is listing the shortcomings and flaws of the human being He created Himself. But when I read "Except those who pray," my heart became deeply comforted that Allah Almighty has provided a way to overcome these shortcomings and flaws. If someone prays regularly, they can escape the mental and emotional states of "Haloo'a", "Jazoo'a", and "Manoo'a". And I began to think, or rather imagine, what a beautiful state a person's mind and soul reach when anxiety, restlessness, and stinginess leave them. That is, only by the blessing of prayer do anxiety, restlessness, and stinginess leave a person's heart, and their worry, suffocation, and narrow-mindedness are removed. What a vastness and openness enters a human being! How light and peaceful a person's nature becomes, and how the burdens weighing heavily on their heart simply vanish! Undoubtedly, prayer is a magnificent blessing. Written by: Abdul Khaliq Qasmi Khureji, Delhi. ___________📝📝____________ Narrated. Selection: Islamic Tube Pro App
