Shab-e-Juma Mubarak with this hope that we gather Max Pro Blessings on this blessed day.
Last week's thoughts on Dajjal received mixed feedback. Differing points of view should be accepted and discussed. One such take was about Dajjal being not a definitive entity as there is no mention of Dajjal in Quran and some people believe Ahadith are speculative on the subject. It is true for Quranic mention but issue of Hadith is debatable. However, we have to assume our role in the given scenario which should be getting aware and spreading awareness on Al Kahf and its subject matter which is for all times and ages. Besides, life itself with its glitz and glamour is an absorbing infatuation. To boost its deceptive attraction our untiring enemy is at work. To thwart our consistent enemy (Shaytan), we need constant protection of Quran.
Today's Ayah No 34 is continuation of previous two Ayahs (32 & 33). Allah swt after sketching the possessions of the richer of the two men brings us to the critical point of the story. Rich man's expansive gardens were not only well laid out but were also highly productive in yield. He boasted to his companion of his wealth and numbers (presumably he had many sons out of different marriages and a big workforce). This man is a classic example of how we go wrong in our thinking. Instead of thanking Allah for making this life comfortable for us, we tend to look down upon less fortunate. Our conversations start and revolve around pronuons of 'I' and 'me' like last line of this Ayah. This attitude is the beginning of the end with grave consequences as we will see in this story. Reliance on means than the Creator of means is the greatest Dajl of our times.
May Allah help us understand the message of His Book in its true spirit. Ameen
