Assalam o Alaikum. Shab-Juma Mubarak.
Three years ago started weekly Ayah by Ayah series of Al Kahf and after a thinking long and hard on what next with options of Urdu/ English Vlog or Urdu Blog, ended up with writing English Blog again with newer and better perspective Insha Allah. May Allah swt help, guide and accept. Ameen.
A word on Quran burning in Sweden. Yes, this abuse of freedom of speech hurts. So much for human evolution and progress that they disrespect feelings of more than quarter of earth’s population. However, this heinous act can neither take glory of The Book away nor alter its message. This should give us every reason to study and understand Al Quran. Besides protest (short of violence in our countries of residence), we should do all we can to live our lives as per the The Book.
Let's take advantage of your attention on this Juma Mubarakah and talk afresh about first Ayah of Al Kahf.
Praise be to Allah swt who did us the greatest favour by sending down The Book (Al Quran) sans fault, flaw or deviance. Being aliens to this planet, we needed a proper code of life to follow so that we could understand purpose of life (where we came from, what is our relation with our surroundings and where are we headed?). All we need to do is to get connected with the Source i.e. Allah swt, His word (The Book) and His Messenger PBUH. He told us things about unseen on need to know basis to make it easy for us. Why word Abd or Servant is used for the Prophet PBUH because in subsequent Ayahs, Allah swt conveys His anger over how some have taken His beloved Prophet Isa Ibn Maryam AS (Jesus Christ) as His son. How could human intellect fail to distinguish between finite and The Infinite; the creation and The Creator? And in final part of the same Ayah, Allah swt makes a firm claim that there is no deviance in His Book. It is also a challenge posed to thinking human mind of today to question, challenge and explore. Good thing about Quran is that it satisfies the quest for the Truth. And for those who don't accept the Truth despite knowing it well shall continue to raise illogical objections and instead of finding deviance in Quran, they might go totally astray. May ALLAH keep us among those whom he favored. Ameen
Only ALLAH knows the whole truth.
