Wisdoms of the Quran #25 Excellence Will Be Rewarded With Excellence

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

alhamdulillah. InshaAllah, we'll continue tomorrow with

alhamdulillah. InshaAllah, we'll continue tomorrow with
