DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawmul ahad, 17th day of Sha’abaan 1446AH, Sunday. 16th Feb. 2025). *_THE TRUE MEANING OF THE Word DEEN ...continues_*. BismilLah.
ALLAH (Azza Wa Jal, The MIGHTY and the MAJESTIC) has sent HIS Messenger with the true deen for the purpose of ending the sovereignty of all false gods and granting us immense freedom so that we live as servants of none but the LORD of the UNIVERSE, no matter how much the idolaters and polytheists may dislike or oppose such a course.
Thus, these three meanings of deen stand out:
To acknowledge ALLAH as the ONLY LORD, MASTER and RULER.
To obey and serve ONLY HIM.
To be accountable to HIM, to fear only HIS punishment and to covet only HIS reward.
Deen also includes obedience to ALLAH'S Messengers. The commandments of ALLAH Azzawajal have been given to human beings through HIS books and HIS Messengers. ALLAH Azzawajal says;
Children of Aadam! If there should come to you Messengers from among you, who convey MY revelations unto you, then whosoever refrains from evil and lives rightly no fear shall be on them, and neither shall they sorrow. (Al-A`raf 7:35).
No individual receives ALLAH’s commandments directly after the messenger of ALLAH sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
Hence, whoever acknowledges ALLAH Azzawajal as Ruler can be accepted as obedient to HIM only when he becomes obedient to HIS Messenger and lives by the guidance received through him, sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
*_May Allah Guide us to the straight path._*. Aameen.
