And the heavens and the earth wept not for them..

Surah Al Dukhan/ The Smoke

"And the heavens and the earth wept not for them," [44:29]
- means, they (the people of Firown/Pharaoh) had no righteous deeds which used to ascend through the gates of the heavens, which would weep for them when they died, and they had no places on earth where they used to worship Allah which would notice their loss. So they did not deserve to be given a respite, because of their disbelief, sin, transgression and stubbornness.
- Ibn Jarir recorded that Sa`id bin Jubayr said, "A man came to Ibn `Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, and said to him: `O Abu Al-`Abbas, Allah says, "And the heavens and the earth wept not for them, nor were they given respite" -- do the heavens and the earth weep for anybody' He, may Allah be pleased with him, said, `Yes, there is no one who does not have a gate in the heavens through which his provision comes down and his good deeds ascend. When the believer dies, that gate is closed; it misses him and weeps for him, and the place of prayer on earth where he used to pray and remember Allah also weeps for him. But the people of Fir`awn left no trace of righteousness on the earth and they had no good deeds that ascended to Allah, so the heavens and the earth did not weep for them.''

May Allah make us pious and righteous so the heavens and the earth weep for us Ameen.
..when death approaches us how beautiful would that be..inshaAllah..

When Musa/ Moses and the Children of Israel has crossed the sea..

Ad-Dukhan/ The Smoke

"And leave the sea as it is (quiet and divided). Verily, they are a host to be drowned." [44:24]
- When Musa and the Children of Israel has crossed the sea, Musa wanted to strike it with his staff so that it would go back as it had been, and it would form a barrier between them and Fir`awn and prevent him from reaching them. But Allah commanded him to leave it as it was, quiet and divided, and gave him the glad tidings that they were a host to be drowned, and that he should not fear either being overtaken by Fir`awn or drowning in the sea.

 - Ibn `Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "And leave the sea as it is (quiet and divided)." means, leave it as it is and keep moving.
- Mujahid said: "as it is" means, a dry path, as it is. `Do not command it to go back; leave it until the last of them have entered it.' This was also the view of `Ikrimah, Ar-Rabi` bin Anas, Ad-Dahhak, Qatadah, Ibn Zayd, Ka`b Al-Ahbar, Simak bin Harb and others.
"How many of gardens and springs that they left behind. And green crops" [44:25-26]
- this refers to rivers and wells.
"and goodly places," [44:26] 

- means elevated places.
"And comforts of life wherein they used to take delight!" [44:27]
- means, a life which they were enjoying, where they could eat whatever they wanted and wear what they liked, with wealth and glory and power in the land. Then all of that was taken away in a single morning, they departed from this world and went to Hell, what a terrible abode!

May Allah guide us so we aren't of the forgetful and prepare for death, Ameen

The Prophet is closer to the believers than themselves..

Al-Ahzab/ The Combined Forces

Allah tells us how His Messenger is merciful and sincere towards his Ummah, and how he is closer to them than they are to themselves. His judgement or ruling takes precedence over their own choices for themselves, as Allah says:
"But no, by your Lord, they can have no faith, until they make you judge in all disputes between them, and find in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept with full submission." [4:65]
- In the Sahih it says: "By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, none of you truly believes until I am dearer to him than his own self, his wealth, his children and all the people."
- It was also reported in the Sahih that `Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, you are dearer to me than everything except myself.'' He said, "No, O `Umar, not until I am dearer to you than yourself." `Umar said: "O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, now you are dearer to me than everything, even myself.'' He said, "Now, O `Umar [you have got it right]."
Allah says in this Ayah:
"The Prophet is closer to the believers than themselves," [33:6]
- Concerning this Ayah, Al-Bukhari narrated from Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet said: "There is no believer except I am the closest of all people to him in this world and in the Hereafter. Recite, if you wish: "The Prophet is closer to the believers than themselves." [33:6]

May Allah make us love the prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam like Umar did (as mentioned in above hadith), Ameen

All praises and thanks be to Allah, Who (Alone) created the heavens and the earth, and..

Al-Anam/ The Cattle

"All praises and thanks be to Allah, Who (Alone) created the heavens and the earth, and originated the darkness and the light, yet those who disbelieve hold others as equal with their Lord." [6:1]
- Allah praises and glorifies His Most Honorable Self for creating the heavens and earth, as a dwelling for His servants, and for making the darkness and the light to benefit them in the night and the day.
- In this Ayah, Allah describes darkness in the plural, Zulumat [where Zulmah is singular for darkness], while describing the light in the singular, An-Nur, because An-Nur is more honored.

May Allah guide us so that we praise, thank and glorify Him, Ameen

O you who disbelieve! Make no excuses this Day!

At-Tahrim/ The Prohibition

Allah said,
"O you who disbelieve! Make no excuses this Day! You are being requited only for what you used to do." [66:7]
- meaning, on the Day of Resurrection, the disbeliever will be told, "Do not offer any excuse this Day, because it will not be accepted from you; you will only be recompensed for what you used to do. Today, you will receive the punishment for your actions.''

May Allah protect us from disbelief and may our best most exciting joyful day be the day of ressurection, Ameen

Encouraging Gratitude

Aale Imran/The Family of Imran

Encouraging Gratitude

Allah said,
"Say" [3:26]
- O Muhammad , while praising your Lord, thanking Him, relying in all matters upon Him and trusting in Him.
"O Allah! Possessor of the power" [3:26]
- Meaning, all sovereignty is Yours,
"You give power to whom You will, and You take power from whom You will, and You endue with honor whom You will, and You humiliate whom You will." [3:26]
- meaning, You are the Giver, You are the Taker, it is Your will that occurs and whatever You do not will, does not occur. This Ayah encourages thanking Allah for the favors He granted His Messenger and his Ummah. Allah transferred the prophethood from the Children of Israel to the Arab, Qurashi, Makkan, unlettered Prophet, the Final and Last of all Prophets and the Messenger of Allah to all mankind and Jinn. Allah endowed the Prophet with the best of qualities from the prophets before him. Allah also granted him extra qualities that no other Prophet or Messenger before him was endowed with, such as granting him (more) knowledge of Allah and His Law, knowledge of more of the matters of the past and the future, such as what will occur in the Hereafter. Allah allowed Muhammad's Ummah to reach the eastern and western parts of the world and gave dominance to his religion and Law over all other religions and laws.


May Allah's peace and blessings be on the Prophet until the Day of Judgment, Ameen

How can You feel Secure against the Punishment of Allah

Al-Mulk/ The Sovereignty

How can You feel Secure against the Punishment of Allah while He is Able to seize You however He wills:-

-This is another indication of His gentleness and His mercy with His creatures. He is able to punish them because some of them disbelieve in Him and worship others besides Him, yet He is forbearing, He pardons, and He gives respite for an appointed time without hastening. This is as He says,
"And if Allah were to punish men for that which they earned, He would not leave a moving creature on the surface of the earth; but He gives them respite to an appointed term: and when their term comes, then verily, Allah is Ever All-Seer of His servants." [35:45] Here Allah says,
"Do you feel secure that He, Who is over the heaven, will not cause the earth to sink with you, and then it should quake?" [67:16]
- meaning, that it would move back and forth, and be disrupted.

Thank you Allah for giving us so many chances to repent for our sins, every breath we take is another chance to rectify our shortcomings. Make us make use of our time, Ameen
