Rumana Ayesha’s Reflection on Surah Al-Baqarah:35

'We cautioned, 'O Adam! Live with your wife in Paradise and eat as freely as you please, but do not approach this tree, or else you will be wrongdoers.''

My thoughts about this ayah are as follows:

With trust comes the responsibility to exercise the free will responsibly. It teaches us that each person is entrusted with choices and is responsible for them. The forbidden tree represents how people are often tempted by things that are prohibited. It's like being drawn to something even when we know it's not the right choice. This is a battle between our desires and our ability to control ourselves. But the story reminds us that while we might naturally feel tempted, we can learn to control these feelings by being aware and following what is permissible, by being mindful of Allah and persistently asking for His Guidance.

This story mentioned here, teaches about the balance between enjoyment and restraint, the importance of adhering to God's commands. Sometimes, even in the matters of Deen, it so happens that people don’t stick to the commands of Allah… Rather they tend to exaggerate things which may lead to bid’ah(innovation) or minor shirk which in turn leads to a major one. I have seen it happen in my own country and the people who do it are looked up as very religious and God-fearing. So, I think it is important for a person(Muslim) to know their religious boundaries.

'Allahumma al-himni rushdi, wa a’idhni min sharri nafsi' O Allah! Inspire in me guidance and deliver me from the evils within myself

* في إسكان آدمَ الجنَّةَ إشعارٌ له ولذرِّيته بداره بعد استخلافه، إنه التشويقُ الأعظم إلى الجزاء، قبل التكليف والابتلاء.

* لا بدَّ في الحياة الدنيا من محظورٍ ممنوع؛ لتنبُتَ في النفوس الإرادة، ويتفاضلَ الناس فيما بينهم، فشتَّان بين متَّبعٍ لهواه، وصابرٍ على مخالفته طلبًا لرضا مولاه! القرب من المحرَّمات يقتضي إلفَها، وإلفُها يستدعي محبَّتها، وحبُّ الشيء يُعمي ويُصِم، فاجتنب الحِمى فمَن حامَ حوله يوشك أن يرتعَ فيه!

اسْكُنْ... التذكير بنعمة الجنة، ورجوع المؤمنين إليها، والتنبيه على أهمية المأمور به، وبيان فضل الزوجة.

تَقْرَبَا... حجية سد الذرائع، وقلة الحرام وكثرة الطيبات، والنساء كالرجال في الأحكام إلا ما يناسب خصائصهن.

هَـذِهِ... حجية الإشارة، ولا ينبغي الاشتغال بما لا يفيد؛ فالقرآن لم يعين نوع الشجرة، والابتلاء بالنهي لمفاسده.

Quick reflection:

#joy

Waves of happiness and sadness pass through the heart everyday. But there are moments when the sadness threatens to settle in and make a home there. Isn't that the case with everyone? We start thinking "Oh but look at this problem and that problem, why shouldn't I remain sad?"

But in one moment like that today I was reminded of this ayah and the only way to describe it is being refilled from a giant fountain of pure joy.

Al-Baqarah 2:168

يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ كُلُواْ مِمَّا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ حَلَٰلࣰا طَيِّبࣰا وَلَا تَتَّبِعُواْ خُطُوَٰتِ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنِۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَكُمۡ عَدُوࣱّ مُّبِينٌ

The First and the Last woman in Quran The first woman of Quran has been mentioned in regard of her actions and so is the last woman. the first woman is not disclosed by her name, nor the last woman The first woman is described by the favors done to her by the most merciful The last woman has been disclosed with the severe punishment she will have to endure in the next life. The first woman was tempted then repented to her Lord The last woman was lost in the dark abyss of sins, and remained reluctant. In both cases, the preceding verses are reference to their husbands.

The first thing that Allah created was the Pen - Al Qalam. He commanded the pen to write. The pen asked him 'What shall I write?' He commanded it: 'Write Qadr : all that has already happened and that will happen until eternity.' This happened 50,000 years before the creation of the Heavens and the Earth. [Ahmad Tirmidhi]

At this time in our history when Allah is warning Adam AS to stay away from the tree, He is fully aware of what is yet to happen. When I read this verse I wonder if this is the first occurrence of a pattern that will be repeated throughout the history of humanity:

Allah grants favors to the humans knowing that they will inevitably disobey Allah. I see this as an indicati
