Knowing About Him who has given us so much: He has introduced Himself in the Holy Qur-an and informs us about His Gracious Gifts to us. He did send His Prophets before the Final Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). They all taught about God Almighty Allah, the Purpose of Life, How to live being Grateful Servants of God for all His Favors received by us. |
Allah Introduces Himself in the Holy Qur-an: <The Most Gracious (Ar-Rahman)! It is He Who has taught the Qur-an. He has created Man: He has taught him an intelligent speech. The sun and the moon follow courses (exactly computed; And the herbs and the trees-both (alike) bow in adoration. And the Firmament has He raised High, and He has set up the Balance (of Justice), in order that you may not transgress (due) balance. So establish weight with justice and fall not short in the balance> Chapter 55:Verses:1-10. |

The favors of God Almighty Allah on us are immense and uncountable. But what about our behavior and relationship with God Almighty Allah? Do we have a cordial relationship with Him? Please check whether our conscience is clear in this regard or not? Over the years, how far have we gone to thank God for His unlimited Favors and Blessings on us? But then, if we have just a small problem, man loses patience with himself/her self and others! Then a person who is the recipient of God's valuable gifts and help (like water, air, food, health etc), on a daily basis, does he/she thank God? They don't forget to say a human being "Thank You" even for his small favor! God's patience is one more gift for us because even after forgetting to thank Him for all His favors, He has kept us safe and did not punish us. People punish their servants for simple mistakes and sometimes throw them out of their places! Companies sack their employees, but God Almighty Allah again makes some arrangement for them somewhere. He feeds man, from where he did not think of. You might have seen a frog, in a well which is still being dug up! It was living beneath the depth of the earth and did you ever think, who was providing it life and the requirements of life? Other than Allah any one has the Power and Knowledge to do so? Answer correctly to this question. You will questioned after your death about all the gifts of God and on the Day of Judgment, you will undergo complete questioning by Allah, The Lord and God of the Worlds. How can anyone then, just shrug off the matter of toughest and supreme question, when it is brought to their notice? But if Allah Almighty abandons us, gets angry on us, then where will we go? What will happen to us? So, train yourself, to be a thankful servant of God Almighty Allah, The Only Master of all. In this page, you will know what He says about His favors and how He trains us for this Great Art of showing Gratefulness to Him. There is no art or a skill which will come to any one without any constant and sincere efforts? Or if some one leaves practicing the art already in his or her possession, like Karate, can they still have mastery over it? He /she will lose it soon. A world no.1 Tennis player, if he stops playing for a few weeks and months, then someone else will gain upper hand and overtake his position because of his hard work, daily practice and dedication! |
Allah gave us all these gifts in this world. But one will get them only if he grows these trees and then attends to their needs, struggles hard and waits in patience until they flower and fruits grow and ripe, by God's Supreme Will. If you are not a grower, then you will have to earn money to buy them. In the next world after death, you will get them, which are of Heavenly Quality, if only you collect enough credit (or score enough marks) by believing and obeying Only God and Master, Almighty Allah. The Hell is full of filthy and dangerous things which are not suitable for us. So learn, prepare and practice with patience to get best things out of this world and the next world by thanking Allah for His Gifts and Remembering Him Always! Even the animals thank their master for giving them even a small quantity of food. But man eats how many tons of fruits and other good things given by Allah, in the whole life, but even after living for 60 or 70 years on this earth, dies without learning how to thank Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. Is such a person considered as successful and a wise one? How can it be so? Allah wants good for us. Therefore, He sent thousands of Prophets for the Guidance of mankind at different times and places. Who else cares for mankind than God Almighty Allah? For a baby, the care of it's mother is most important. Who could give more care and love to a baby than its mother? Then, the Truth is that only Allah gives us the His Guidance, Love and Care, Safety and Security, Peace and Salvation. If a mother abandons her baby or dies leaving behind the baby as an orphan, who will take care of it like her mother did? If God Almighty Allah were not to take care of us or were He not to be existing, then it's impossible to imagine of anything.

He says further : < It is He Who has spread-out the earth for (His) Creatures: Therein is fruit and date-palms, producing spathes (enclosing dates): Also corn, with (its) leaves and stalk for fodder, and sweet-smelling plants. Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny? Allah
reminds us the Truth :
<..... no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another; That,
man can have nothing but what he strives for; That, (the fruit
of) his striving will soon come to light; That, to thy Lord is
the final Goal; That, it is He Who grants Laughter and Tears;
That, it is He
Who
Grants death and Life; That, He did create the pairs,-male and
female, from a sperm-drop when lodged (in its place);
That
He hath promised a Second Creation (raising of the dead); That, it
is He Who Gives Wealth and Satisfaction; That He is the Lord of Sirius
(the Mighty Star); And that it is He who destroyed the (Powerful)
ancient 'Ad (people), And the Thamud, He left no
trace of them. And before them, the people of Noah, for that they were
(all) Most unjust and most insolent transgressors, And He destroyed the
overthrown cities (of If now anyone laughs at the Holy Qur-an's warnings, the time will come when he will have his portion of weeping and crying out in agony for this Great Crime! But time will bring forth all the good and the bad before man. Why wait for evil to happen? Prevention is better than Cure, Right? Do you then still want to continue on the path of arrogance and disbelief and denial of Allah's Guidance? |
Allah Questions us : <See ye the water which ye drink? Do ye bring it down (in rain) from the Cloud or do We? Were it our Will, We could make it Saltish (and unpalatable): Then why do ye not give thanks? Holy Qur-an -Chapter No.56, Verses:68-70. We can observe in our real life, if we do not pay for the gas (the amount due to the supplier), telephone, electricity, water etc, they will cut the connection with or without warning and we may have to make special request to them to restore the connection and supply. But man does not think about God Almighty Allah's Great Gifts and instead he/she tries to shrug off the idea of Believing and worshipping one True God Allah and the Truth related to Him. He or she chooses exactly the opposite way to God and brings upon him/herself God's wrath. So, in the next world he/she will pay the terrible penalty and all that he/she tasted of the Gifts of God will not be available for him/ her in that world. Instead he or she will be thrown into the Fire of Hell for a permanent stay over there. That is why, again and again, on this site, you will find the great emphasis on believing Allah and Following His Final Book -'Al Qur-an' for our own good life in this world and the permanent life after death.

Allah wants our welfare only. See how He makes each and everything simple and clear: <But remind: for reminding benefits the Believers> Chapter No.51,Verse No.55. And further He declares the purpose of our existence and mission on this earth: <I have only Created Jinns and men, that they may serve Me. No sustenance do I require of them, nor do I require that they should feed Me. For Allah is He Who gives (all) sustenance,- Lord of Power,- Steadfast (for ever)> Ch.No.51, Verses 56-58. In the Chapter -''Ar-Rahman' or -Allah Most Gracious- Allah reminds us throughout, His favors to mankind. Please go through this chapter no.55. A mild hearted person is sure to shed tears after reading the verses of our Lord Almighty Allah. What would you think about such a person, who, a few moments before, was the recipient of your favors but you see him a while later, that he is complaining or backbiting and passing on bad remarks about you with other people and they are all making fun of you! How would you feel like about that person? Then if
you do show ungrateful to God Almighty Allah, what value would you have
with Him? He has warned to put any such person in the list of
ungrateful people and the punishment for this is nothing but Hell - The
permanent Prison of the King and The Ruler of the Universe-Almighty Allah Who
created it for arrogant, disbelieving folk! He declares : <It is He Who has taught the Our-an. He has created man: He has taught him an intelligent speech. The sun and the moon follow courses (exactly) computed; And the herbs and the trees-both (alike) bow in adoration. And the firmament has He raised high, and He has set up the Balance (of Justice), In order that you may not transgress (due) balance. So establish weight with justice and fall not short in the balance. It is He who has spread out the earth for (His) Creatures: There in is fruit and date-palms, producing spathes (enclosing dates); And corn, with (its) leaves and stalk for fodder, and sweet-smelling plants. Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny? In the Heaven, God Almighty Allah will
give His obedient servants and devotees, all the Blessings which are not at
all available in this world. He declares: <In them will be (Maidens), Chaste, restraining
their glances, whom no man or Jinn before them has touched;-
Then which of the favours of your Lord
will ye deny? Like unto Rubies and Coral. Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny? Is there any reward for Good-other than
Good? Then which of the Favours of your
Lord will ye deny?......Maidens restrained (as to their glances), in (goodly)
pavilions:- Then which of the favours of
your Lord will ye deny?- Whom
no man or Jinn before them has touched;- Then which of the favours of
your Lord will ye deny?> In the above verses God Almighty Allah informs us of His immense Blessings and Help and also other important facts. There is a barrier, He has created, though, is unseen by our eyes, but the effect of it is clearly felt due to the fact that even while the river water is freely flowing into the Seas and Oceans, both of them do not transgress each other. Neither the Salty water becomes sweet nor the Sweet water becomes Salty, which is essential for the survival of humankind, due to the force of Sea or Oceans. They have been separated by invisible barrier of Almighty Allah which is one of the Great Help and Favours of Allah. Even then the educated people worship others instead of Allah? Then show cause why should not Allah punish such people with Hell Fire? |
God Almighty Allah
questions us:<See ye
the fire which ye kindle? Is it ye grow the tree which feeds the
fire, or do We grow it? We have made it a reminder and an article of
comfort and convenience for the denizens of deserts. Then Glorify the
name of thy Lord, The Supreme! Then why should any one deny Almighty Allah and His Final Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), His Guidance -Al Islam and His Final Book -Al Qur-an? Can you ask yourself a question, whether that deity, any disbeliever of Allah worships instead of Allah has created the fire? Then is that thing which a disbeliever of Allah worships is fire proof? You will surely get the answer : "no". Then what punishment such a person deserves from Almighty God Allah for challenging His Judgment and Decree? Can you reply now? Then please see that you and your relatives and friends will follow the right course of Allah. Open your eyes, the inner ones, and see the Truth, Now! Pray to Allah for guiding you on the Right Course. He guides the sun, stars, earth, winds, oceans etc. So who else could be your True and Irresistible Guide? ************** <He Created man from sounding clay like unto pottery, and He created Jinns (Genies) from fire free of smoke: Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny? (He is) Lord of the two Easts and Lord of the two Wests: Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny? He has let free the two seas Meeting together: Between them is a barrier which they do not transgress: Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny? Out of them come Pearls and Coral: Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny? And His are the Ships sailing smoothly through the seas, Lofty as mountains: Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny? All that is on earth will perish: But will abide (for ever) the Face of thy Lord,-Full of Majesty, Bounty and Honour. Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny? Of Him
seeks (its need) every creature in the heavens and on earth: Every day in (new)
splendor doth He (shine)! Then which of the favours
of your Lord will ye deny?> If you add a droplet of lime to milk, it becomes sour immediately. But nothing happens when the natural forces mingle with each other like the sea and the rivers. Then how can they deny Allah and take others as God or make them as His partners? It is the Terrible Crime against God. The Punishment is also not lesser than the weight of the Crime! Please tell your friends and relatives to be careful of this Greatest Danger and to be saved from that. It's your duty, if you love them really! If you hate them, then you will naturally wish for and enjoy the destruction of your enemies. You will not let them know the truth in that case. |
