Al Quran is the Rope of Allah and Al Kahf is one of its strands. We are in the middle of a muddy swamp with seductive traps of evil and tempting snares of devil. We earnestly need to hang on to something to avoid being engulfed by the swamp. How Merciful is our Lord that the Rope is hanging down from His Court and He swt wants us to hang on to it. How unfortunate that we either don't see it or don't want to see it. Either way, the devil succeeds in his game because our failure is his success. Literally, a third rate open enemy with lowly objectives.
Today's Ayah No 43 is the penultimate Ayah of 5th Rukuh. Last couple of Ayahs in every Rukuh (Speech of Allah on a particular subject) have to be like concluding remarks with certain lessons to take home. This Ayah paints the state of helplessness when there would be no help. No call a friend option, no 911 to dial, no sibling to support, no dad to bail out; just us and Allah swt. Only hope averting disastrous disposal would be our good deeds in this life. So what are the good deeds? It has been observed that everyone wants to be Abdul Sattar Eidhi (May Allah bless his soul) and nothing short of it. Nothing in between from being indifferent to the greatest philanthropist like Eidhi sb. And we continue to count number and wait for 'good days' to come before we could start our good deeds. Quite a flawed strategy. Let's take four steps as in 4S (Submit, Support, Sympathise & Smile)
Just have to submit to Allah swt, support everyone in anyway possible, sympathise with aggrieved and smile before you say anything. Congrats, you are already a Philanthropist.
May Allah protect us from the state of helplessness and help us do good deeds. Ameen
Jazak Allah
