and amazing verses…Even though I have read this surah many times
before but it felt as if I was reading these words for the first
time…The description of the things we love and then the way Allah
[subhanahu ta'ala] tells us about what's better…! An awesome dua and
some hints on how to acheive that high position!
So touching and so utterly mesmerizing! Jotting themdown…Please do
read, recite, understand, and contemplate! :)
Beautified for people is the love of that which they desire – of women
and sons, heaped-up sums of gold and silver, fine branded horses, and
cattle and tilled land. That is the enjoyment of worldly life, but
Allah haswith Him the best return.
Say, "Shall I inform you of[something] better than that? For those who
fear Allah will be gardens in the presence of their Lordbeneath which
rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally, and purified spouses and
approval from Allah. And Allah is Seeing of [His] servants - Those who
say, "Our Lord, indeed we have believed, so forgive us our sins and
protect us from the punishment of the Fire," The patient, thetrue, the
obedient, those who spend [in the way ofAllah], and those who seek
forgiveness before dawn. "
(Surah Ale Imran, 3: 14-17)
And there is another beautiful verse in Surah as Sajdah which seems
related to these verses:
"And no soul knows whathas been hidden for them of comfort for eyes as
reward for what they used to do." (Surah as Sajdah, 32:17)
Rasoolullah [sallallahu alyhi wasallam] said, regarding this verse:
"Allah says: 'Í have prepared for my righteous servants what no eye
has seen, no ear has heard, and it has never crossed the mind of man.'
" [Muslim, Trimidhi]
SubhanAllahi wa bihamdihi, Amazing right?
Let us strive and work hardto gain that which 'Allah calls better'!
That which is supposed to be the BEST for us!
May Allah accept our effortsand reward us abundantly in this world and
the Hereafter! Ameen!
