Our Quranic gem and wisdom on this blessed
night of 27th of Ramadan
comes from the 27th, Jews of the Quran.
Haljazaulihsani
illalihsan.
What do you think the reward of excellence
will be in the eyes of Allah
other than excellence?
1 of our scholars of the past, he
was asked, which verse do you think
is the most optimistic verse in the whole
Quran?
He mentioned this verse, Hal Jazaw lihsani ilalihsan.
He was
said, this verse, there are so many other
verses. Why did you choose this verse to
be the most inspiring
and the most optimistic?
He said,
SubhanAllah,
Allah is promising
His excellence
in return
for ours? And is there any comparison
when we put in our 100%,
when we do the best we can do,
and how imperfect that will be.
Allah has promised
that He will do the best He can
do.
And how can we compare
the finite with the infinite?
How can we compare that which is gonna
be fallible with that which is infallible?
How can we compare the meager temporary efforts
of this dunya with the infinite blessings of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, and yet Allah has
opened this door. Haljaza'ul
Ihsani illal Ihsan. O Muslim,
be inspired by this verse. Know that this
verse comes in the context
zawajal
promises
jannatul
firdaus
not to the person who is praying and
fasting the max. He promises it to all
those who are practicing
Ihsan.
And Ihsan is practiced not just in one
area, in multiple areas. What Allah is saying,
oh Muslim,
you do the best you can do,
and I promise you I will give you
the best you can ever imagine.
This means, oh Muslim,
is open for every single one of us
right here without exception.
Equal opportunity.
There is no discrimination.
It doesn't matter who you are, what your
background, how much you have been blessed with
the wealth or not, doesn't matter.
Every one of us, if we put in
our max with what we have, with the
resources we have, with the influence we have,
if we live our lives with the best
ihsan,
then Allah has promised us that He will
give us His ihsan, and there is no
comparison between my ihsan and your ihsan. So,
oh Muslim,
when you stand up to perform wudu,
perform it with Ihsaan,
and make sure you wash yourself the way
Allah wants you to wash. When you stand
up to pray, monitor your prayer with ihsan,
and pray as if this is your last
prayer. When you give charity, give it with
ihsan. Look at where you're giving, and feel
a sense of humility, and awe, and thankfulness
that you're giving charity. When you interact with
your relatives and family, do so with the
ihsan. When you meet your parents, do so
with ihsan. With your business partners, interact with
them with the ihsan. When you buy and
sell, buy and sell with the ihsan. In
every single
interaction you do, do it with Ihsaan. And
if you live your life like this, no
matter who you are, where you are, if
you live your life with this level of
ihsan, then guess what? Allah is promising you,
Oh Muslim,
be of the muhsinin,
wallahu yuhibul muhsinin.
Be of those who practice excellence in every
single minutia of life. Whatever you do, do
it with Ihsaan. Whatever Allah has blessed you
to do, do it with Ihsaan. And when
you do so, you will live and die
as a Mursin. And when you give Ihsaan
to Allah, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala promises,
Haljaza ul Ihsaani illa Ihsaan. May Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala on this blessed night of 27th,
may Allah Azzawajal
grant us to be of the mursineen. May
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala make make us of
those who can live up to Ihsan in
our rituals, in our Ibadad, in our salawat,
in our muamalat, in our akhlaah. May Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala allow us to witness the
beauty of this ayah. Aljazawl ihsani illal ihsanwakrudawal
alhamdulillah. InshaAllah, we'll continue tomorrow with
