Details of the Grandeur of Creation.
أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى رَبِّكَ كَيْفَ مَدَّ الظِّلَّ وَلَوْ شَآءَ
لَجَعَلَهُ سَاكِناً ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَا الشَّمْسَ عَلَيْهِ دَلِيلاً
(45. Have you not seen how your Lord spread the shadow. If He willed,
He could have made it still — but We have made the sunits guide.)
ثُمَّ قَبَضْنَـهُ إِلَيْنَا قَبْضاً يَسِيراً
(46. Then We withdraw it towards Ourselves — a gradual withdrawal.)
وَهُوَ الَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الَّيْلَ لِبَاساً وَالنَّوْمَ سُبَاتاً
وَجَعَلَ النَّهَارَ نُشُوراً
(47. And it is He Who makes the night a coveringfor you, and the
sleep (as) a repose, and makes the day Nushur.)
Surah 25 Al Furqan Verse 45-47
Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Here Allah begins explaining the evidence forHis existence and His
perfect power to create various things and pairs of opposites. Allah
says:
(Have you not seen how your Lord spread the shadow.) Ibn `Abbas, Ibn
`Umar, Abu Al-`Aliyah, Abu Malik, Masruq, Mujahid, Sa`id bin Jubayr,
An-Nakha`i, Ad-Dahhak, Al-Hasan, Qatadah, As-Suddi and others said,
"This refers to the period from the beginning of the dawn until the
sun rises."
(If He willed, He could havemade it still) meaning, immobile, never
changing. This is like the Ayat:
(Say : "Tell me! If Allah made the night continuousfor you…") (28:71)
(but We have made the sun its guide.) means, wereit not for the sun
rising, it would not be there, for a thing can only be known
incontrast to its opposite. Qatadah and As-Suddi said,"The sun is a
guide which follows the shade until the shade disappears. "
(Then We withdraw it towards Ourselves — a gradual withdrawal.) This
refers to the shade.
(gradual) meaning slowly. As-Suddi said: "A gentle, concealed,
withdrawal until there is no shade left on earth except under a roof
or a tree, and the sun is shining on whatever is above it."
(a gradual withdrawal.) Ayyub bin Musa said: "Littleby little.
(And it is He Who makes the night a covering for you,) It covers and
concealsall things. This is like the Ayah:
(By the night as it envelops) (92:1).
(and the sleep a repose,) means, a halt to movement so that bodies may
rest. For the faculties and limbs get tired from their constant
movement during the day when one goes out to earn a living. When night
comes, and it becomes quiet, they stop moving, and rest; so sleep
provides a rejuvenation forboth the body and the soul.
(and makes the day Nushur) meaning, people get up and go out to earn a
living and attend to their business. This is like the Ayah:
(It is out of His mercy that He has made for you the night and the day
that you may rest therein and that you may seek of His bounty…)
(28:73)
وَهُوَ الَّذِى أَرْسَلَ الرِّيَـحَ بُشْرَى بَيْنَ يَدَىْ رَحْمَتِهِ
وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً طَهُوراً
(48. And it is He Who sendsthe winds as heralds of glad tidings, going
before His mercy; and We send down pure water from the sky,)
لِّنُحْيِىَ بِهِ بَلْدَةً مَّيْتاً وَنُسْقِيَهِ مِمَّا خَلَقْنَآ
أَنْعَـماً وَأَنَاسِىَّ كَثِيراً
(49. That We may give life thereby to a dead land, and We give to
drink thereof many of the cattle and men that We have created.)
وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَـهُ بَيْنَهُمْ لِيَذَّكَّرُواْ فَأَبَى أَكْثَرُ
النَّاسِ إِلاَّ كُفُوراً
(50. And indeed We have distributed it among them in order that they
may remember the grace of Allah, but most men refuse (out of)
gratitude.)
Surah 25 Al Furqan Verse 48-50
Tafsir ibn Kathir
Allah sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings, i.e., they bring the
clouds behind them. The winds are of many different types, depending
on the purpose for which they aresent. Some of them form the clouds/

''Advise'':-/:-/Some sisters say :

"I can't stop listening to music…
I can't stop watching movies and TV series…
I know it's Haram but I can't leave my boyfriend…
my friendship with boys will be ended when I will find a husband …
I will wear Hijab when I will grow older…"
Dear sisters, why is it so hard for you to leave Haram enjoyment of Dunya?
Look to the answer of a handsome Dutch young man (who reverted to
Islam 5 years ago) when hewas asked about his previous life as a non
Muslim
Shaikh Mohammad 'Irifi asked him:"how could you forget your previous
life just like that? You were certainly surrounded by girls everywhere
so: How could you forget the life of sex, music, wine, and forbidden
enjoyment?!"
he answered him:"Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) simply removed it from
myheart the moment I said "the Shahadah" of Twahid and became a
Muslim"
The moment he became a Muslim he surely knew that2 loves can't be
together ina believer's heart : love of Allah and love of Haram
in shaa Allah all Muslimat will realize this fact too

''Advise'':-/:-/

When you choose Allah over everything else, He will most certainly
take care of you. So when you are given two choices, remember Allah
and choose wisely. Choose truth over falsehood, piety over desire,
mercy over harshness, justice over oppression, and choose Him over
yourself... then sitback and watch how beautifully Allah chooses for
you and runs the affairsof your life ever so beautifully.

Story -:->The Lottery

The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of
a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass
was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the
square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o'clock; in
some towns there were somany people that the lottery took two days and
had to be started on June 2th. but in this village, where there were
only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took less than two
hours, so it could begin at ten o'clock in the morning andstill be
through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner.
The children assembled first, of course. School was recently over for
the summer, and the feeling of liberty sat uneasily on most of them;
they tendedto gather together quietly for a while before they broke
into boisterous play.and their talk was still of the classroom and the
teacher, of books and reprimands. Bobby Martin had already stuffed his
pockets full of stones, and the other boys soon followed his example,
selecting the smoothest and roundest stones; Bobby and Harry Jones and
Dickie Delacroix-- the villagers pronounced this
name"Dellacroy"--eventually made a great pile of stones in one corner
of thesquare and guarded it against the raids of the other boys. The
girls stoodaside, talking among themselves, looking over their
shoulders at the boys. and the very small children rolled in the dust
or clung to the hands of their older brothers or sisters.
Soon the men began to gather. surveying their own children, speaking
of planting and rain, tractors and taxes. They stood together, away
from the pile of stones in the corner, and their jokes were quiet and
they smiled rather than laughed. The women, wearing faded house
dresses and sweaters, came shortly after their menfolk. They greeted
oneanother and exchanged bits of gossip as they wentto join their
husbands. Soon the women, standingby their husbands, began to call to
their children, and the children came reluctantly, having to be called
four or five times. Bobby Martin ducked under his mother's grasping
hand and ran, laughing, back to the pile of stones. His father spoke
up sharply, and Bobby came quickly and took his place between his
father and his oldest brother.
The lottery was conducted--as were the square dances, the teen club,
the Halloween program--by Mr. Summers.who had time and energy to
devote to civic activities. He was a round-faced, jovial man and he
ran the coal business, and people were sorry for him.because he had no
children and his wife was a scold. When he arrived in the square,
carrying the black wooden box, there was a murmur of conversation
among the villagers, and he waved and called. "Little late today,
folks." The postmaster, Mr. Graves, followed him, carrying a three-
legged stool, and the stool was put in the center of the square and
Mr. Summers set the black box down on it. The villagers kept their
distance, leaving a space between themselves and the stool. and when
Mr. Summers said, "Some of you fellows want to give me a hand?" there
was a hesitation before two men. Mr. Martin and his oldest son,
Baxter. came forward to hold the box steady on the stool while Mr.
Summers stirred up the papers inside it.
The original paraphernaliafor the lottery had been lost long ago, and
the black box now resting on the stool had been put into use even
before Old Man Warner, the oldest man in town, was born. Mr. Summers
spoke frequently to the villagers about making a new box, but no one
liked to upset even as much tradition as was represented by the black
box. There was a story that the present box had been made with
somepieces of the box that had preceded it, the one that had been
constructed when the first people settled down to make a village here.
Every year, after the lottery, Mr. Summers began talking again about a
new box, but every year the subject was allowed to fade off without
anything's being done.
