Alhamdolillah, today after a year of weekly Ayah wise series on Al Kahf without a miss, we reach the end of 7th Rukuh (Speech of Allah swt). Before we discuss today's Ayah, let's recap this Speech. At the back of the story 'Men of Two Gardens', Allah swt took us to the story of genesis. Exodus of Iblees from The Court of Allah swt was too much for him to take. But bear in mind that it was happening as part The Grand Design. Who know the nature of all creation better than Allah swt. Iblees had short temper, low IQ and carried evil attributes deep within him. He could pretend to be pious (like most of us) but he couldn't hide his true nature from his Maker. On exposure and expulsion from The Court, he avowed revenge from mankind. His clarity of objective is in sharp contrast with human obscurity on purpose of life. Current Speech is a stark reminder that if we follow Iblees and his associates, we may end up in closed street from one end and hell fire at the other. It is mercy of Allah swt that He has given us warnings time and again in His open letter i.e. Al Quran.
Today's Ayah is not only the last Ayah of this Rukuh but seems like end of the road for those who follow misguided misguiders. Just read the Ayah carefully, it depicts height of helplessness. There can't be worse state of hopelessness in entire human journey (Creation of Rooh, Sleep, Life, Death, Final Disposal) that anyone out of us is staring down hell fire and nowhere else to go. Now is the time to mend ways. It is greatest mercy of Allah swt that His current speech may end with a warning but Al Quran gives hope after hope in Surah after Surah time and again.
Let's pray that we read the warning signs along the way and don't fall prey to the misguiders before its too late. Ameen
