Today's Ayah No 38 is conveyed to us in the words of the man with lesser possessions yet wealthier in Imaan. After reminding his richer companion of the process of creation i.e. literally putting him back to his place, he seals the deal by proclaiming Oneness (Tauheed) of Allah swt.
Just to recap, first story of Al Kahf is about young men, Al Kahf Boys (Our Heroes) who took to the Kahf (The Cave) on receiving life threat from the tyrant king. They put their matter in Allah's hand with full conviction. And see how Allah swt honored their trust that every Friday they are remembered by nearly a quarter of the world's population in every quarter of the globe. Note that today again the central pillar of Imaan (Tauheed) is under attack from left, right and center.
Second story (The Men of Two Gardens) is about how abundance of means could mislead us. How reliance could shift from Creator of means to means only. We right now live in times where acquisition of means is more or less the purpose of life and abundance of means could be seriously misleading. And first casualty is weakening of faith in Hereafter (Akhirah) which in turns shakes the foundation of central pillar of Imaan i.e. Tauheed.
Most important thing to remember is that shaky Imaan in Tauheed means serious consequences in both worlds. That is why it is quintessential to renew of our oath with Allah Karim time and again. Lastly, just read this Ayah 38 carefully from the core of your heart and Insha Allah your greatest vow of life is refreshed for now.
May Allah keep our hearts attached to Tauheed now and always. Ameen
JazakAllah,may Allah bless you always aamin
