Juz 24: Construct your real home

Series: 30 days 30 Juz 30 Ayahs
Date: 24 Ramadan 1443
Surah: Surah Mu'min 39

يَـٰقَوْمِ إِنَّمَا هَـٰذِهِ ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَا مَتَـٰعٌۭ وَإِنَّ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ هِىَ دَارُ ٱلْقَرَارِ 

O  my people! This worldly life is only ˹a fleeting˺ enjoyment, whereas the Hereafter is truly the home of settlement.

Lets take a minute to ponder upon our position in this world. Are going to stay here forever? Is this what our real home is? 

Like a person who knows that one day his travelling is going to end and he has to come back home. How will he live? He will live there take advantage of the resources and try to do his best but his focus will be on the his own home he has left and his own family who is staying behind. 

Same like this when we know our real home is the home of hereafter and the stay in this world is a temporary stay. Or 60 to 70 year in this world and infinite years in Hereafter. So, why all of our focus is to built this house and leave the home of hereafter unconstructed. 

Live in this world. Use all the skills and resources but our center point should be akhirah. Whatever you do, just remember what results this is going to bring in Akhira. 

Be akhirah focused.

Look! look up in the sky Have you found any crack? Don't stop! look up again Your eyes will come down again, failed to find any fault in its track Look! look up at a bird flying Spreading its wings and folding them back Who's holding it in the sky? Who's the One keeping it intact? Look! look into your eyes Wonder! wonder about your hearing Feel your heart Who has provided this? The One who is caring He is Al-Khaliq, who creates He is Al-Baari, who originates He is Ar-Rehman He is Ar-Raheem Maria_thelightseeker (INSPIRED by SURAH MULK)

The Morning

Night - as it goes away Dawn breaks in The quiet darkness is removed As the morning breathes in Darkness - what is it about? Light - what does it tell? Staring up on the sky Observing the morning bells As the light spreads gradually Difficult times fade away naturally But the light? It struck me! Light is the Quran Morning is the Furqan Maria_thelightseeker (Inspired by Surah Takweer)

Friends

Friends Food : Some friends work like food. They give you energy. Encourage you to do good. Motive you to move ahead.  Medicine : Some are like medicine. They console you during your difficult times. Help you out. Stand by you. You remember them at the time of hardship.  Disease : Some are disease. Filled with negative energy. Always backbite about other people. Talk negative. Do negative. Compel you to do negative. This is how Allah depicted the consequences of having a diseased friend in Qur'an: وَيَوْمَ يَعَضُّ ٱلظَّالِمُ عَلَىٰ يَدَيْهِ يَقُولُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى ٱتَّخَذْتُ مَعَ ٱلرَّسُولِ سَبِيلًۭا And beware of the Day the wrongdoer will bite his nails in regret and say, “Oh! I wish I had followed the Way along with the Messenger! يَـٰوَيْلَتَىٰ لَيْتَنِى لَمْ أَتَّخِذْ فُلَانًا خَلِيلًۭا  Woe to me! I wish I had never taken so-and-so as a close friend. (Surah Furqan: 27-28) That was the friend who strayed him from the right path.  Check your friends!  Analyse...
