Bism Allah Ar rahman Araheem
Praise be to Allah who guided us to this and if it was not for Him we wouldn't have been guided "They said: Glory to thee: of knowledge We have none, save what it is thou who art perfect in knowledge and wisdom", prayer and peace be upon His Messenger the illiterate Prophet who was sent as a mercy to the worlds, his family members and companions.
As Salam Alykom brothers and sisters
Many of us Alhamduelah read the astounding Quran several times with the blessing of Allah, Sobhan Allah it is the only book which you are never tired of reading. The more you read it, the more you feel like reading it again. What is even more surprising, is that you read the same Surat and stand on specific verses with more in depth understanding of it.
This happened to me several times. I felt obliged as Prophet Mohamed (PAPBUH) said the best among you who learns knowledge and teaches it. However, I can never claim myself as a scholar, I just feel like a sister to all of you and when I find something I must say. Prophet Mohamed (PAPBUH) also said convey after me even one verse.
Insh a Allah I will try to put what ever I discover in Quran in a series of articles and may Allah accept it a mere deed to Him.
Let us start with Surat Fusilat :” Say: Is it that ye deny Him Who created the earth in two Days? And do ye join equals with Him? He is the Lord of (all) the Worlds. * Say: Is it that ye deny Him Who created the earth in two Days? And do ye join equals with Him? He is the Lord of (all) the Worlds.” (Quran 41: 9-10). However, with all due respect to anyone who exposed himself to the hardest task one could face, translating the meanings of the Quran. I’ll Insh a Allah try to further translate the meanings of these verses for more clarification. Verse 9 starts with a command to Prophet Mohamed to tell the people you are disbelieving in He who created the earth in two days, then He continues explaining that you associate partners with him, who is Him? He is the Lord of the worlds. He carries on in verse 10 saying He placed on earth from above items to keep it fixed. Please note the part of from above which is an indication to mountains as explained in the quoted translation of the meaning, because simply there are other means from underneath which keeps the earth steady, talking about the magnetic power. Look at the in depth explanation and teaching. Then the verse adds that after erecting items to keep earth fixed, He bestowed blessing and allocated resources: in how long time, in four days. Yet people who are eager to fabricate errors in the Quran (we seek refuge to Allah) take this point wrongly. They say that He created earth in two days and then made mountains, till the end of the verse in four days which makes them six days. After that He created seven skies in two more days making the gross total 8 days. While in two other positions Allah clearly indicated creating the world in six days only. Now it is clear to all of us that the gross shall remain 6 Insh a Allah. Well this is not our core of interest in this article. I shall go back to the verse saying He bestowed blessings and allocated resources equally to whoever needs and asks for it. I think after that no one should worry about family planning. Our Creator already allocated the resources and added blessing on earth equally for whoever asks. And please take note of this. Equally for whoever asks regardless of his faith, regardless of being an obedient or sinful servant. In this He treats us all equally. It can not be otherwise. We are His creation and we are entitled for this. He is the Not Needing while we need Him. But what is the problem, how come in some cases we don’t see the enforcement of this law. In other words, why in some cases countries suffer lack of resources and other poverty signs. Let us go back to the manual. Allah Says in another position explaining how we can benefit of this established rule:” If only they have stood fast by the law, the gospel, and all the revelation that was sent to them from their lord, they would have enjoyed happiness from every side. there is from among them a party on the right course: but many of them follow a course that is evil.” (Quran 5:66). Again I’ll re explain the translation. The physical translation of the meaning is that if only the people of the book applied the Torah and Bible and whatever was revealed to them from Allah, look at the immediate result, He said they would have eaten from above their heads and under their feet. In this expression actually Allah compiled the sources of food, from above the heads in an indication to birds, rain which assists in growing plants, while under the feet of course is very clear containing many other food resources. On another verse it is even more directly indicated saying:” If the people of the towns had but believe and feared God, we should indeed have opened out to them (all kinds of) blessing from heaven and earth; but they rejected (the truth), and we brought them to book for their misdeeds" (Quran 8 : 96).
So it only depends on applying His rules contained in the revealed books. But we fail to do so. Yet He sustains us because He is the Sustainer.
I wonder if I was able to express the astounding meaning. I really supplicate to Allah that I did.
If I was correct it is only from Him and if I was wrong it is from myself. Praise be to Allah and prayer and peace be upon His Messenger Mohamed.
