Knowledge Of Allah Leads To...
All Other Knowledge!

In Surah Ar-Rahman
It Is As If Allah Is Calling Us To Him Saying...
O Son Of Adam Come To Me
Get The Knowledge About Me And I’ll Teach You
Everything You Want Or Need To Know!

The more we are ignorant about Allah, the more we are ignorant about everything else. How can I succeed when I act and react to the wrong piece of information or incorrect knowledge? Since Allah SWT is the Creator and He knows what is best for us; if we claim that that the knowledge of Allah doesn’t fit our life, we become sinners, kafir (rejecters of Allah) and full of Shayateen. Now we will never be perfect; but as we stated Earlier

It Is Our Intention And Struggle That We Will Be Judged For...
We Will Not Be Judged Based On The Results Since...
The Results Are In The Hands Of Allah!

Allah wants us to exercise on the knowledge that we accumulate and all the knowledge of Allah simmers down to whether we will put Allah first in our lives or others... be they teachers, parents, friends, culture and custom. Allah continues in the next verse:

Quran Chapter 55
Surah Ar - Rahman
"The sun and the moon are made punctual." [Verse 5]

This means that the sun and the moon follow perfect timings as ordained by Allah. Imagine if the sun becomes rebellious and refuses to come out, even once, at its appointed time! What will become of this world?

All The Creations Of Allah Obey Him 100%. Because If They Don't, It'll Be A Catastrophe!
And This Is What Allah Wants Us Humans To Understand!


Look at the sequence of knowledge Allah wants to share with us. The next verse says:

Quran Chapter 55
Surah Ar - Rahman

"And The Stars/Herbs And The Trees - Both (alike) Prostrate In Adoration."
[Verse 6]


In here, the word Najm has two meanings, a star or a plant that is spread over the earth. And both of them make sajdah [Prostration] to Allah; Sajdah in here encompasses obedience, surrender and submission to Allah. Allah is explaining to us that everything I created is in my obedience.


Quran Chapter 55
Surah Ar - Rahman



And The Firmament, The Sky Has He Raised High
And He Has Set Up The Balance (Of Justice) [Verse 7]


What is the scale or the balance in here? It is Justice; Justice to ourselves, those we interact with, our environment etc; Here too Allah tells us that if we follow Him, the scale will remain balanced and any disobedience to Allah or lack of vision can cause this scale to tip and make us a zalim (unjust)!


Zulm (Injustice) Also Has A Sequence;
Before We Do Zulm To Others, We Do Zulm To Ourselves!
And The Ultimate Zulm To One’s Self Is To Disobey Allah...
And Swerve From The Path He Has Set For Us!


Let me give you an example – take a small child at the playground who is being bullied by other children. He is smaller than others so even if he tries to defend himself and fight back, he will lose. But if he runs to his parent, he will be protected because the parent is bigger than the bullies in the playground and they will be afraid of him, even if the parent doesn’t do anything. Which one is the better option for the child? Be arrogant and try to fight... and in the process get serious injuries, or be wise and seek the support of his Parents? The same is our situation in this world...


We Cannot Take On Our Own...
All The Enemies; Seen Or Unseen!
We Need Help...
Help Of The Stronger And Wiser Being Allah
If We Decide To Deal All Our Affairs On Our Own
Without Seeking Support Of Allah...
Not Only Will We Be Exhausted And Lose
We Will Also Ignite The Anger Of Allah


This is just like any parent who will be upset that the child didn’t come to him at the time of need and got himself in unnecessary trouble. SubhanaAllah, do we really believe in Allah, do we trust Allah, and do we trust in the might of Allah? Allah challenges us in the Qur’an saying:


Quran Chapter 27
Surah An - Naml



Is He [not best] who responds to the desperate one when he calls upon Him, removes evil and makes you inheritors of the earth?
Is there a deity with Allah? Little do you remember!
[Verse 62]


When I go to Allah in a state of desperation and beg Him to help me, Allah promises that He will not let me down. But the secret is total and utter dependence on Allah alone.


I Cannot Go To Allah Asking Him For Assistance
While I Am Thinking About...
All Those People Who I Think Might Be Able To Help Me Too.


If I come to you and say, I respect you and I need your help, how will you respond? – You will willingly provide the assistance I need. But if I come to you and in the middle of telling you I respect you and need your help I start talking about others who might also be able to help me and you know that they really can’t, how will you feel?


Imagine How We Ask Allah With A Doubt In Him...
And No Respect For His Might And Power?


A person might be performing Salaah, and be in a state of sajdah, but in reality he could be a kafir and a mushrik because of his state of heart and mind; because though he is making dua to Allah yet 80% of his feelings and thoughts are about other things. (Full article noora1.com)
