THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis. 18th day of Dhul-Hijjah, 1444AH (Thursday, 6th July, 2023).
*_LESSONS FROM SUURAH An-NAS (QURAN 114) AND A BRIEF ADVISE_*. BismilLah.
Let's ask, who is the biggest victim of Satan (shaytan)? In the Qur’an, a lot of bad people are mentioned. Pharaoh comes in the second rank after Satan. What are the three names of ALLAH in the Surah?
1- Rabb An-Nas (Master of the people)
2- Malik An-Nas (King of the people)
3- Illah An-Nas (God of people).
The Almighty ALLAH (The Most High) has mentioned what (Fir`awn) Pharaoh said about himself in the Qur’an:
1- “I am your most exalted Lord.” (An-Naziat 79:24).
So, Pharaoh said: “I am a ‘rabb’.” He (Pharaoh) attributed to himself the biggest waswasah (whisperings) of shaytan which is supposed to be an attribute of ALLAH (The Most Perfect Power). What was the biggest problem of shaytan? What is the biggest thing that he can instill inside a human being? It is arrogance.
What is the worst manifestation of arrogance? It is Fir`awn (Pharaoh).
My reminder today is to remind us of how satan can easily aid us to commit shirk without even realising it and ALLAH (THE CREATOR) offered us this great suurah to aid us against such satanic plot. Nowadays, people do not say what Pharaoh said about himself that he is god over people. Instead, one declares “I am god over myself”, saying, “I am my own master.” In other words, their desires become their master. The Almighty ALLAH (The Most MERCIFUL) says:
Have you seen he who has taken as his god his own desire…? (Al-Jathiyah 45:23). This is serious isn't it? Pride and arrogance are two words that can cause us to follow this footsteps of Satan so let's be submissive in all we do. If you are the boss of any establishment, your apprentice are aware of that. Don't be too commanding reminding them you are the boss and you do what you like Astaqfirullah!!! No please, you can't do as you like, you must treat others as ALLAH commanded us to treat those under us and that's to know you yourself is a servant of ALLAH (ArRazzaaq, The Provider).
*_May ALLAH, the most Gracious keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences_*. Aameen.
