Before beginning every action, one must commit herself to Allah, and acknowledge that every deed should be done with the end in mind of seeking Allah's mercy and happiness. As I stand at the bring of this Surah, about to unfold the mose marvelous conversation, advise, and opening between My Lord and His slave -I acknowledge that the dedication in learning these verses are for His sake, and pleasure, so that one day I will be able to see my Creator, knowing His Endless mercy upon me.
When I observed the skies, I noticed what most people do: the silver lining over the horizon, the seaming colours of deep blue mixed with pigment white, the tree under it, the hillside and the lake nearby. It is not a new site until i look again and struggle to star until i can lay a finger on the details. Then there is new definition and we become astonished, awed, inspired, and throw away. We begin to notice things we never thought existed before. At this point in observations, my mind drifts away from teh perfect live images and move to the Artist Himself. The clouds, the rocks, the sea beds, seem to chant His Name. The Name of a Planner who provided an protected them, their Rule of life and Death and the Designer of the Worlds. All praise and gratitude, with appreciation, love, respect and thanks naturally drift to Allah and a feeling of humbleness overwhelms my mind. There is no other Artist like Him.,and He is the only one deserving of this praise, His qualities is the symbolic world around us confirm not only Hi existence, but they inspire me to reflect on them and only return love for the peace in my heart, family and religion.
There are judges in courts, high ranking bosses in business, and princes of palaces. Yet, the Most Significant amongst all the Rulers is Allah, Who as the Sovereign of the whole universe, is more lenient than all the people's love and kindness combined. His mercy transcends all borders, surpasses all races and languages. He is the Benevolent, Benefactor of all living things. It is His mercy that He forgives us and allow us to grow and choose our destination freely.
People live their lives as if they will live forever, not knowing that they might die tomorrow. What happens then? The ones who struggled to strive, are their efforts lost? Do teh god and the bad have the same end? The truth comes down to one day. A Day where there will be no masks, pretending or hiding. It is the Day of Retribution, when you and I will receive what we have deserved and our deeds shall be weighed. I will not be able to run away from my mistakes or hide them and give excuses instead. Allah will not leave a single, even a small deed until He has judged it and recompensed me for it.
