Reflections from the Quran

Fruit Of Reflection II

﷽‏

The meaning of the Quran is also based on belief in the angels of Allah, who are His messengers that execute His Orders and manage His affairs according to His will and permission. They are also concerned with clarifying the affairs of the upper and lower worlds that the angels are appointed to maintain and manage, as well as being concerned with clarifying which angels are assigned the tasks that pertain to humankind from the time a person is in his mother's womb until he meets Allah The Almighty.

The meaning of the Quran is also concerned with belief in the Hereafter: what Allah The Almighty has prepared for His righteous allies in Paradise where they feel no pain, misery or trouble, and what Allah The Almighty has prepared for His enemies in Hell, where they will find no happiness, prosperity or rest.

It clearly sets out all relevant matters in detail: commands and prohibitions, Sharee'ah and fate, the lawful and the unlawful, admonitions and lessons, stories and parables, causes and pearls of wisdom, and the principles and objectives behind creation and the orders of Allah The Almighty.

The meanings of the Quran stir a person to come to Allah The Almighty through its good promises, and warn and frighten him against His severe punishment. It encourages a person not to indulge in the luxuries of this life and to avoid things that would not be in his favor when he is questioned on the Day of Judgement.

It guides him amidst the darkness of opinions and methodologies to the straight path, bars him from breaking into ways of religious innovations and misguidance, and motivates him to be grateful to Allah so that his blessings may increase.

It makes him aware of the boundaries of the lawful and the unlawful and prevents him from transgressing, in order that he would not be exposed to a long suffering. It firmly keeps his heart away from wrongdoing and deviation from the truth. It makes difficult matters and hindrances easy for him.

Whenever determination weakens or a person lags behind, it addresses him saying:

"The caravan advanced and you missed the guide, thus join them and migrate."

Then it moves in front of him as a guide. Whenever he faces an ambush from an enemy or a highwayman, it calls him:

"Beware and take care! Seek support and protection in Allah and say, 'Sufficient for me is Allah, and He is the best Disposer of affairs.'"
Indeed, pondering, understanding and reflecting on the Quran brings about pearls of wisdom and benefits, even greater than what we have described above.
