AI: Summary ©
Today insha'Allah I'm going to talk about
two surahs like I did yesterday.
The two surahs today are very similar in
the comparisons that they're going to draw and
the choices they're going to offer.
And at the end insha'Allah of this
cluster of surahs that starts with Qaf and
ends with Hadid, I will summarize these surahs
and the comparisons so it will be an
even more concise summary at the end insha
'Allah.
Today we're talking about Surah Al-Qamar and
Surah Al-Rahman.
Surah Al-Qamar shows us how what Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala gives us could be
a niqmah, instead of being a blessing it
could be a curse.
It could be something that causes us to
suffer in the dunya and akhira.
And it draws the comparison between using it
properly or it turning into a curse and
the choices that we can make regarding that.
Surah Al-Rahman does the opposite, it looks
at the blessing and it shows us the
blessing and showing gratitude towards it and it's
staying and sticking around or not showing gratitude
and then losing it.
So the niqmah and ni'mah equation, Surah Al
-Qamar talks about the things that can turn
into curses instead of blessings and Al-Rahman
talks about things that are meant to be
blessings and actually serve as blessings and it's
this balance between these two surahs that I
find to be very interesting and that's why
they're very beloved surahs and you can understand
why Al-Rahman is loved so much because
it talks about blessings and it's a very
soothing surah.
So I'll start with Surah Al-Qamar.
He says subhanahu wa ta'ala at the
beginning of it, both of them are Makki
surahs, he says The
time of the Day of Judgment has come
near, وَإِن شَقَّ الْقَمَرُ and the moon will
split.
Now, I'm not going to spend too much
time talking about that specific aspect but I'll
say this.
The narrations regarding that the moon split during
the Prophet's life are an issue of controversy
and most likely what this verse is talking
about is the fact that the moon will
split and that is something we know.
We know that on the Day of Judgment
what's going to happen to the sun and
to the stars and to the moon, this
is something that we have no doubt about
at all and that's a better way to
understand the surah rather than trying to understand
it regarding something that there's a lot of
controversy regarding its authenticity and what it actually
meant.
So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is saying
وَإِن يَرَوْا آيَةٍ and if they see signs
of God, they'll just say this is ongoing
sorcery, it's ongoing magic.
وَكَذَّبُونَ When they refuse and they're refusing to
believe what they know is the truth.
وَاتَّبَعُوا أَهْوَاءُهُمْ And they're following their whims.
وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍ مُسْتَقِبْلَ And everything will settle on
the Day of Judgment and everything will become
clear.
وَلَقَدْ جَاهَهُمْ مِنَ الْأَنبَاءِ مَا فِيهِمْ مُسْتَجَبْلَ And
they've been given enough information, they've been told
enough stories, they have enough knowledge.
Had they used it properly, they would have
actually stopped saying what they're saying and that
would have been enough for them to leave
the path that they're on.
حِكْمَةٌ بَالِغَةٍ They've been given a lot of
wisdom.
فَمَا تُغْنِنُوا What are warnings good for people
who don't want to listen to it?
And we're going to find that phrase that
starts here at the beginning of the surah.
فَمَا تُغْنِنُوا What good are warnings?
We're going to find it all throughout the
surah, repeated time and time again.
Where He says سُبْحَانَهُ عَلَىٰ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي
وَنُذُوبِ How did you find My punishment and
My warnings to be?
فَذُوقُوا عَذَابِي وَنُذُوبِ May you suffer from My
punishment and My warnings.
You'll find that Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
-A'la used that phrase in Surah Al
-Qamar time and time again.
After the nation being warned by their prophets
and after Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A
'la offering them means to repent and to
change their ways, they don't and they're punished.
Which means that the guidance that they were
given, that gift that Allah Subh'anaHu Wa
Ta-A'la offered them, went from being
a blessing to being a curse upon them.
And that is something that we need to
contemplate and properly understand so that you don't
misunderstand the way I'm saying, this is what
I'm saying.
That's why in this Surah, after each of
those verses فَذُوقُوا عَذَابِي وَنُذُوبِ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي
وَنُذُوبِ Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la
reminding them and then you saw My punishment
and My warnings.
He says right after the ayah, also repeated
6-7 times in this Surah وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا
الْقُرْآنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُتَّكِرِ And we have
made the Qur'an easy for remembrance فَهَلْ
مِن مُتَّكِرِ Is there anyone who is willing
to use it as means to remember Allah
Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la and to
contemplate and take advice and take benefit which
is kind of what I was saying a
second ago See the Qur'an itself, that's
Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la's salam
and we ask Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
-A'la to grant us the best of
it The Qur'an itself is either a
blessing or it could be the opposite of
that It could be the opposite, it could
be the reason that the person is punished
يوم القيامة The Qur'an is either شهيد
لك or شهيد عليك It's either going to
testify on your behalf يوم القيامة or testify
against you And that's what Surah Al-Qamar
is looking at Watch out, the Qur'an
has within it all the means for you
to use it properly but if you don't
it's going to turn against you It's going
to be something that you're going to regret
that you ever knew which is a scary,
but that's what Surah Al-Qamar is teaching
that we have to beware What Allah Subh
'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la gives us can
be used in both ways That's Surah Al
-Qamar and Surah Al-Rahman It's the same
stuff he's giving Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A
'la but how are we going to use
them and that's what's going to dictate whether
they're going to be a نقمة or a
نعمة It's going to be a curse upon
us or a blessing upon us And Surah
Al-Qamar warns us from making them curses
and Surah Al-Rahman encourages us to make
them blessings So the two Surahs that I'm
going to talk about today are Surah Al
-Qamar and Al-Rahman In this section, which
starts with Qaf and ends with Al-Hadeed
It's a section where each Surah presents two
options It compares between two things and presents
two options And we've talked about Surah Qaf
and Al-Dariyat and all of these Surahs
presented a comparison and their options And today
I'm going to talk about the two Surahs
because the two comparisons are similar and the
two options are similar as well So Surah
Al-Qamar compares between what Allah Subh'anaHu
Wa Ta-A'la gives you to be
a نقمة or to be used in the
right way And Surah Al-Rahman compares between
what Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la
gives you to be a نعمة so you're
thankful or you're not thankful and you go
What Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la
gives you is نقمة or نعمة Surah Al
-Qamar focuses on this prevention of being a
نقمة and Surah Al-Rahman encourages us to
make it a نعمة And this is what's
beautiful about these two Surahs And both Surahs
are from Makkah Surah Al-Qamar starts with
the saying The Hour has come and the
Moon has split And the meaning of this
verse is The splitting of the Moon is
what happens on the Day of Resurrection As
for what's mentioned in the Hadith about the
splitting of the Moon We'll leave that for
another day And it's a matter of disagreement
And you need a lot of reflection and
a lot of thinking to have a good
discussion about it While what Muslims believe is
that the Moon will split on the Day
of Resurrection Just like the Sun is broken
and the stars are broken and the seas
are sealed and so on This is one
of the signs of the Hour and the
signs of the Day of Resurrection So here,
while Allah is pointing to a sign of
the signs of the Day of Resurrection The
Hour has come and the Moon has split
But this is still in a state of
denial and in a state of denial And
if they see a verse that says a
constant magic, this is magic It's still constant
And they denied it They refused to listen
They followed their desires And everything will be
settled But everything will be settled on the
Day of Resurrection And there will be no
doubt And news has come to them that
is not enough But they are still hesitating
This is a great wisdom A great wisdom
has come to them from the Prophet So
what's the use of warning?
This question is repeated in the Surah What's
the use of warning if a person doesn't
want to listen?
For this reason, we find in the Surah
How was My punishment and My warning So
taste My punishment and My warning Beware of
the punishment Beware of the warning Use the
good that is in your hands for the
evil and it will become a curse on
you Man, my brothers, if he is given
a blessing and then he doesn't use it
well it will become a curse on him
on the Day of Resurrection And for this
reason, after every verse of these verses Allah
Almighty says And We have made the Qur
'an easy to remember So is there anyone
who remembers?
The Qur'an is easy so that we
can benefit from it and learn from it
But is there anyone who is ready to
learn from it?
If we are not ready to learn from
it the Qur'an has become a witness
against us The Qur'an has become and
forgive me the word a curse against us
Not by itself but by our misuse of
it by our misuse of it This applies
to the Hafidh peace be upon him who
memorizes the book of Allah and then does
not do what is in it On the
Day of Resurrection this is one of the
first who will be thrown into the fire
May Allah's peace and mercy be upon him
It is a scary and difficult matter But
this is the reality If a person does
not use what Allah Almighty has given him
it will become a curse on him The
Messenger of the Moon warns from this curse
warns from misuse and for this reason it
is repeated and the Qur'an has made
it easy for us So is there anyone
who remembers?
Yes, you remember you remember but you do
not remember Remembering is not remembering it is
benefit, understanding, reflection, contemplation This is the meaning
of remembering And then the surah goes through
these stories It gives us a glimpse of
the Day of Resurrection and then it continues
It gives us that snapshot of people leaving
their graves and going towards the one who
is calling upon them and they are saying
to themselves this is going to be a
difficult day Then it goes and it talks
about what is going to happen what happened
to the people of Nuh فَقَوَلتْ نَوْحَ كَذَّبَتْ
قَبْلَهُمْقَوْمُ نُوحٍ فَكَذَّبُوا عَبْدَنَا وَقَالُوا مَجْنُونُ وَازْدُجِر ﷻ
فَدَعَى رَبَّهُ أَنِّهِ مَغْلُوبٌ فَانْتَصِفَ ، فَفَتَحْنَا أَبْوَٰلَ
السَّمَاءِ مَاإِنَّ يَوْمٌ مَتَّذَمِّنَ and the people of
Nuh before them refused to listen to their
Prophet and they oppressed Nuh until Nuh alayhis
salam had to say, Ya Rabb, I am
beaten, I am oppressed, I need help, I
need your aid.
And Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la
sent the water and they were drowned.
And then it talks about Aad, كذبت عاد
فكيف كان عذابي ونذور, and how Aad was
punished.
كذبت ثمود بالنذور, and it talks about Thamud
and how they refused what their Prophet taught
them and they were punished.
And then it talks about قوم لوق, and
how they refused what their Prophet taught them
and they were punished.
And then it talks about Fir'aun, وَلَقَدْ
جَاءَ آلَ فِرْعَوْنَ النُّذُورِ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا كُلِّهَا فَأَخَذْنَاهُمْ
أَخْذَ عَزِيزٍ مُقْتَدِرٍ, and how Fir'aun refused
all the signs that Musa A.S. showed
them and how Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
-A'la punished them.
The common thread amongst all these people, all
these nations, that they were all punished.
See, not all the nations in the Qur
'an were punished.
The nation of Ibrahim A.S. was not,
the nation of Yunus A.S. was not.
Not all the nations saw punishment.
But in Surah Al-Qamar, all the nations
that Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la
spoke of, all of them were punished.
And that's when the ni'mah that they were
given was turned into a ni'mah.
That's when the blessing and the gift, the
gift of their Prophets and the guidance that
their Prophets had was taken and then misused
and was refused and was not dealt with
properly, turned into a ni'mah.
It turned into a curse upon them, and
it was their demise, and it ended their
reigns.
And that's why at the end of the
Surah it says, أَكُفَّارُكُمْ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أُولَٰئِكُمْ What,
do you think the people of Quraysh who
are refusing Muhammad are better than those?
No.
أَمْ لَكُمْ بَرَاءَةٌ فِى الصِّدْرِ Or somewhere in
the books of the Prophets it was said
that the people of Quraysh are not going
to be punished.
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ نَحْنُ جَمِيعٌ مِّنْ تَصِرٍ Or they're
walking around saying we're stronger, we're always going
to be victorious, and you'll never be able
to beat us.
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ نَحْنُ جَمِيعٌ مِّنْ تَصِرٍ Tell them
they're going to be beaten, and they're going
to be running in the opposite direction, all
of them.
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ نَحْنُ جَمِيعٌ مِّنْ تَصِرٍ And tell
them the Day of Judgment is what they're
waiting for, or what is waiting for them.
And it's worse, and it's much more scary,
and it's much more difficult than whatever happens
here in dunya.
The Surah Al-Qamar just brings this very
heavy warning.
إِنَّ الْمُجْرِمِينَ فِي ضَلَالٍ وَسُعُورٍ يَوْمَ يُسْحَبُونَ فِي
الْنَّارِ عَلَى أُجُوهِهِمْ ذُوقُوا مَسَّ سَقَرٍ The criminals
on the Day of Judgment are going to
go to the Hellfire to be pulled with
their face down.
إِنَّ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَنَاهُ بِالْقَدْرِ Everything that we
created, he's saying, subhanahu wa ta'ala, we
created with a destiny behind it, with a
goal for it.
Why is that important?
We're going to see the exact same concept
in a moment in Surah Ar-Rahman.
Both Surahs give the same idea.
What you're given by Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala has a destiny, has a balance to
it.
If you use it well, it will be
a ni'mah, like Surah Ar-Rahman we'll focus
on in a moment.
If you don't use it well, it will
be a ni'mah, so make your choice.
How you're going to use things is going
to dictate what they're going to be.
What you're given doesn't come with a stamp
on it.
Whatever happens to you in your life does
not come stamped good or bad.
It just comes.
It's just a part of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala's destiny.
How you deal with it is going to
label it.
How you deal with something labels it khayr
or shawr.
It can be easy or difficult.
That's a given.
And that's kind of what Surah Al-Qamar
looks at, the difficult side, Surah Ar-Rahman
looks at the easier side.
But it is not labeled as good or
bad.
Good or bad, you carry the labeling device
in your own hand.
Allah doesn't label it for you.
He labels it difficult or easy.
But you have the good or bad labeling
device.
And you would make that choice.
That's why Surah Al-Qamar shows us all
these nations that were punished, severely punished.
And talks about the Qur'an.
Now, is there anyone who's willing to use
the Qur'an as a means to contemplate
and reflect?
Because we've made it easy for contemplation and
reflection.
Is there anyone?
There's a question, will anyone do it?
Or is the Qur'an going to come
and testify against us?
At the end of the Surah, He says,
وَكُلُّ صَبِيرٍ وَكَبِيرٍ مُسْتَطَرٍ Everything that is done,
small or large, it's all written down, it's
all documented.
And it ends with, قَوْلِ إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي
جَنَّاتٍ مُنَهَرٍ فِي نَقْعَ لِصِدُقٍ إِنَّ مَلِيكٍ مُقْتَبِرٍ
The pious will find themselves in paradise, in
rivers, and they'll be in a place of
honesty, of truth with their Lord.
Because they were truthful with themselves.
The beginning of the Surah talks about denial.
It talks about how the disbelievers are in
denial.
No matter what you show them, no matter
what sign they see, there's nothing.
It's just ongoing sorcery.
They're in denial.
And all the stories, by the way, for
the prophets, you'll find that thread as well.
All the people, all the nations who refused
their prophets show some degree of denial as
well.
At the end of the Surah, Allah ﷻ
talks about the pious and says they're going
to be in a place of truth.
Because they were able to be honest with
themselves, and they're going to find themselves in
a place of honesty, of truthfulness with their
Lord.
فِي نَقْعَ لِصِدْقٍ إِنَّ مَلِيكٍ مُقْتَبِرٍ The king
was capable of all.
فَإِذَا تَبَعَتْ فِي سُبْتُ الْقَمَلِ تَجِدْ أَنَّ قَصَصُ
كُلَّهَا قَصَصُ الْأَقْوَامِ الَّذِينَ أُهْلِكُوا Not all the
nations in the Qur'an were destroyed.
There are nations that were not destroyed.
There are nations of the people of Abraham
and the people of Jonah.
They were not destroyed.
But there are nations that were destroyed and
punished.
In Surah Al-Qamar, all the nations that
the Surah talked about, they are among those
who were destroyed and punished.
Noah was against the people of Noah, and
the people of Hud, and the people of
Salih, and the people of Lot, and Pharaoh,
and the people of Moses.
All of these are those who were destroyed
and punished.
So the common thing between them is that
Allah, Glorified and Sublime be He, gave them
guidance, and gave them mercy, and gave them
prophets, and books, and laws, a great good,
a great wisdom.
But this is not enough.
If a person was given all this good,
and then he did not use it well,
and it became a curse on him, and
it was a reason for his punishment, and
he warns the disbelievers of Quraysh, is it
better than those people?
No, never.
Or do they say that we are all
winners?
No, they will all be defeated.
Rather, the Hour is their appointment.
A strong warning, a strong dialect in Surah
Al-Qamar.
But the Surah says at the end, Everything
that you have been given from Allah, Glorified
and Sublime be He, is created according to
destiny.
It came to you according to destiny.
It does not come to you as a
good or a bad thing.
It may come to you as a benefit
or a harm.
But it does not come to you as
a good or a bad thing.
You are the one who determines whether what
has come to you is a good or
a bad thing.
This is the matter of everything that we
have been created according to destiny.
That is, everything that Allah, Glorified and Sublime
be He, has destined is balanced.
We will find its balance in Surah Al
-Rahman.
As if Allah, Glorified and Sublime be He,
in these two Surahs, which speak about what
Allah, Glorified and Sublime be He, gives you
in this world, and it is a favor
or a blessing by your choice, that everything
is balanced with Allah.
Everything is determined by Allah, Glorified and Sublime
be He.
It does not come to you as a
good or a bad thing.
It may come to you as a benefit
or a harm.
It may come to you as a favor
or a bad thing.
But you are the one who chooses whether
it is a good or a bad thing.
In the way you deal with it.
For this reason, in Surah Al-Qamrah, all
of these are punishments.
And the Qur'an has made it easy
for us.
Is there anyone who remembers?
Or will you use the Qur'an without
its purpose?
And it will be a proof for you
and a favor for you on the Day
of Resurrection.
So this is your choice.
Surah Al-Muqtadir ends with the saying, Indeed,
the righteous will be in gardens and rivers,
in a seat of truth, with the Sovereign.
The righteous will be in a seat of
truth.
It is not like the beginning of Surah
Al-Muqtadir.
Those who see a verse and say, The
magicians and the Muslims deny everything.
They will be in a seat of truth,
with the Sovereign.
Surah Al-Rahman.
Who doesn't love Surah Al-Rahman and enjoy
reciting it and listening to it?
Even the way, even the sound of it.
It has repetition.
In which of all of the blessings of
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, do you too
not believe or not accept?
Speaking to both jinn and imams.
And it's repeated time and time again.
And that repetition brings a soothing feeling.
So when you listen to it, it's as
if it's a therapy session.
It allows you to completely relax.
Surah Al-Rahman.
The most beautiful name of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
Filled with mercy.
Filled with compassion.
It's a comforting name.
He taught the Qur'an.
خَلَقَ الْإِنسَانَ And He created the human being.
عَلَّمَهُ الْبَيَانِ Taught him how to communicate.
Taught him how to read and understand.
And express himself.
This is the story of...
This is what makes us unique.
This is what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
did.
عَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ خَلَقَ الْإِنسَانَ عَلَّمَهُ الْبَيَانِ He taught
the Qur'an.
He created the human being.
And then he taught him how to express
himself.
And how to learn.
And how to speak.
الشَمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ وَبِحُسْبَانِ The sun and the stars
are all calculated properly.
وَالنَّجِمُ وَالشَّجَرُ وَيَسْجُدَانِ The stars and the trees.
They all are a part of Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala's system.
They prostrate to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
in their own way.
أَلَّا تَقَضَوْا فِي الْمِيزَانِ أَلَّا تَقَضَوْا فِي الْمِيزَانِ
Do not ruin the balance.
وَأَقِيمُوا الْوَزْنَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَلَا تُخْسِغُوا الْمِيزَانِ And make
sure that you're always fair.
And you're doing things properly.
And you're weighing things out the way they
need to be weighed out.
And you're offering them the correct amounts.
And you're treating them in the proper way.
وَلَا تُخْسِغُوا الْمِيزَانِ This is what Surah Al
-Qamar talks about.
It's similar to Surah Al-Qamar.
That balance.
He sends subhanahu wa ta'ala everything.
He sends ease.
He sends difficulty.
And you decide whether you're going to be
a ni'mah as Surah Al-Qamar warned us
from.
Or a ni'mah as Surah Al-Qamar is
encouraging us to be.
It starts with this beautiful beginning.
Allah the most merciful.
Who taught the Qur'an.
Who created the human being.
And taught him to express himself and speak.
And communicate in his own language.
And created everything in a beautiful balance.
Don't ruin the balance.
وَقِيمُوا الْوَزْنَةِ بِالْقِسْمِ وَلَا تُخْسِغُوا الْمِيزَانِ And then
as you go throughout the surah, you find
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala just counting these
blessings.
مَا رَجَلْ بَحْرَيْنِ يَلْتَقِيَّانَ مَيْنَهُمَا بَارْزَخُ اللَّهَ يَبَغِيَّانَ
فَبِعِيَّا لَا يَعُبِّكُمْ مَا تُقَلِّ بِبَعْنِ The two
seas come to emerge together.
Between them is a barrier that allows some
separation.
So in which of the blessings of Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala do you too disbelieve
or are you too in refusal of?
Even when He talks about death, كُلُّ مَنْ
عَلَيْهَا فَأَنْ Everyone on it will end.
Everything on it is going to end.
But it's a blessing.
وَيَبْقَى وَجِهُ رَبِّكَ ذُو الْجَلَالِ وَتِكْرَمَ As long
as the one who is filled with glory
and generosity is going to be around.
He's not going anywhere.
He's not ending.
سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ Then it's a blessing.
فَبِعِيَّا لَا يَعُبِّكُمْ مَا تُقَلِّ بِبَعْنِ And the
verses just continue counting all of these blessings
upon the human being.
Everything that was given.
Even when it talks about...
You see, there's always a balance in the
surah of the Qur'an.
As I said, no surah will only talk
about blessings.
There will always be a reminder of punishment.
Just like surah al-Qamar.
All punishment and at the last word there's
going to be some talk of reward.
That balance is in every surah of the
Qur'an.
It's a very sacred balance.
Extremely important.
So yes, there is brief talk of punishment.
يُعْرَفُ الْمُجْرِمُونَ بِسِمَاهُ فَيُؤْخَذُ بِالنَّوَاصِ وَالْأَقْدَامِ The
criminals are going to be known by the
way they look on the Day of Judgment
and they'll be taken to their punishment.
فَبِعِيَّا لَا يَعُبِّكُمْ مَا تُقَلِّ بِبَعْنِ And then
it talks about the believers.
وَلِمَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ جَنَّتَانِ And those who
fear the status of Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala.
Again, two paradises, not one.
فَبِعَيِّا لَا يَعُبِّكُمْ مَا تُقَلِّ بِبَعْنِ And which
of the blessings of Allah do you too
disbelieve?
And it continues فِيهِمَا مِن كُلِّ فَاكِهَةٍ زَوْجَانِ
فِيهِمَا عَيْنَاءِ تَجْرِيَانِ مُتَّكِئِينَ عَلَى فُرُشٍ مَقَائِلُهَا مِنْ
إِسْتَبَرَقَ وَجَنَى الْجَنَّتَيْنِ دَانِ And it continues to
talk about how within paradises all these springs
and fruit and places to recline and people
to deal with and everyone is beautiful and
everyone is happy and it's such an uplifting
surah even those who are on a lower
level of good deeds they still get a
jannah they don't get two paradises, they get
one but they still get something فِيهِمَا فَاكِهَةٌ
وَنَخْلٌ وَرُمَّانٌ it talks about but in the
midst of all that you'll find this ayah
that kind of sticks out it says هَلْ
جَزَاءُ الْإِحْسَانِ إِلَّا الْإِحْسَانِ What is the reward
for excellence except excellence?
Is there any reward for excellence besides excellence?
No, no جَزَاءُ الْإِحْسَانِ إِلَّا الْإِحْسَانِ Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala showed us excellence showed us
ihsan in our lives He gave us way
more than we asked for way more than
we deserved so what should our response be
besides ihsan besides showing excellence to ourselves and
then when you show excellence to Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala again, He will show you
excellence again on the Day of Judgment so
He'll do it twice for you you just
have to do it once for Him subhanahu
wa ta'ala you will see excellence from
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala twice in your
life and you're required to show it only
once جَزَاءُ الْإِحْسَانِ إِلَّا الْإِحْسَانِ the verses continue
to talk about about the نَعِيم the joy
that is found in Jannah that's why it's
such an enjoyable surah to recite and people
love to memorize it but at the beginning
of it, remember what it says أَقِيْوُ الْوَزْنَ
بِالْقِسْطَةِ وَلَا تُخْسِغُوا الْمِيزَانِ make sure that you
continue to keep those scales balanced and fair
and don't mess with the balance don't mess
with what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is
giving you make sure that you deal with
it properly don't go in either direction extravagantly
and make sure that that balance is sacred
because it is exactly in surah Al-Qamu
إِنَّ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَنَاهُمْ يَقَدَىٰ everything is created
with a destiny you have to know what
you're doing and how you're dealing with these
things you'll be given all these blessings it
has to be a balance you have to
give it back you have to make sure
that you're receiving all these blessings you have
to give them you have to show Ihsan
that's the balance in the surah talking about
the balance, that's the balance هَلْ جَزَاءُ الْإِحْسَانِ
إِلَّا الْإِحْسَانِ is there any reward for excellence
besides excellence?
that's the balance you can't be receiving excellence
you can't be receiving the best of all
and sit around just taking with nothing being
given with no effort being put there's no
balance they're killing the balance so benefit from
these blessings by using them properly benefit from
the blessings by keeping the blessings in Surah
Al-Rahman and avoiding making them a niqmah,
a curse in Surah Al-Qamar that's what
the two surahs are talking about it's like
there are two polars under the same umbrella
of a concept Surah Al-Qamar is filled
with warnings and nations being destroyed and a
very heavy and thick way of speech in
Surah Al-Rahman much more easy but the
concept is the same what you're given by
God has to be dealt with the proper
balance so that what you have doesn't turn
into a niqmah and it can stay a
niqmah Exalted is the name of your Lord
the one who is most glorious and the
one who has the highest integrity Subhanahu wa
ta'ala Surah Al-Rahman من أجمل السور
وأكثرها تداول بين الناس يقرؤونها ويحفظونها سبحان الله
تسمعوها فلا نغم مريح جميل فبأي آلاء ربكما
تكذبا تكروا هذا التكرار يريع العصاب بأي نعمة
من نعم الله سبحانه وتعالى يا إنس ويا
جان تكذبون هذه النعم كلها أمامكم تكذبون بماذا
تكذبان بأي نعم ولا بنعمة من نعمك يا
رب تكذبنا وكان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم
في رواية يجيب هكذا ولا بنعمتنا ولا نكذب
بنعمة من نعمك يا رب وهكذا أجاب جان
أفضل من الصحابة في رواية طويلة معروفة تبدأ
سؤال الرحمن أجمل اسم الأسماء بأي سبحانه وتعالى
الرحمن العام لكل المخلوقات علم القرآن خلق الإنسان
علمه البيان هذا الترتيب العجيب علم القرآن خلق
الإنسان وعلمه البيان حتى يستوي بالقرآن ما هو
القرآن لسه في سورة القمر من ثواني ولقد
يسرنا القرآن للذكر فهل من مدكر سورة الرحمن
يتيك بالطلب الأخر علم القرآن هو سبحانه وتعالى
وعلم الإنسان البيان حتى يستفيد منه لكن نبهنا
ألا تطبعوا في الميزان وأقيموا الميزان بالقسط ولا
تخسروا الميزان انتبه للميزان هناك توازن مهم كما
قال إن كل شيء خلقناه بقدر فالميزان في
سورة الرحمن ما تؤتاه من نعمة من الله
سبحانه وتعالى يجب أن تشكرها أو تشكره وإلا
انقلب ذلك الميزان وإلا أخسرنا الميزان وأفسدنا هذا
التوازن الذي قلقه الله سبحانه وتعالى وثم تعد
سورة الرحمن نعم الله علينا نعم كثيرة جدا
لا تحصى نعم في الدنيا ونعم في الآخرة
هكذا السورة ثم تأتي إلى آية محورية وتقول
هل جزاء الإحسان إلى الإحسان هذا هو التوازن
أحسن الله إليك فليكون منك إلا أن تحسن
ثم لما تحسن أنت في الدنيا هل تظن
أن الله يلاقيك بشيء سوى الإحسان يوم القيامة
يحسن إلينا مرتين سبحانه وتعالى ونحسن مرة فالجزاء
الإحسان إلى الإحسان لا ينبغي أن نستقبل إحسانه
سبحانه وتعالى ثم لا نحسن نحن إذا أردنا
أن نبقى النعمة نعمة فإذا أحسن إلينا سبحانه
وذا نحسن نحن فنشكر فبأي آلاء ربك ما
تكذب تكذب بالنعمة لا إذا نشكرها إذا نشكرها
وهذا هو محورا سورتي القامري والرحمن I hope
the concept of these two surahs were helpful
and beneficial سبحانك الله وبركاته شنوا لا إله
إلا أن تستغفروا وتوبوا إليك وصلى الله وسلم
وبرك على نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين
جزاكم الله خير ونبارك الله فيكم والسلام عليكم
ورحمة الله وبركاته
