5 Aal I Imran 10 The ayat speaks about the means of security one may seek on the Last Day: Wealth, Kids Was thinking these are the two basic sources of security we seek in our lives. We work for all tangible means, money, house, and what not to give that sense of safety. All these contribute to protecting our bodies basically. And there's اولادکم we seek our emotional security from the people around. Kids are people we heavily invest in to reap in future. So perhaps it includes all relationships that we invest in expecting them to be by our side in times of need. Yes tangible things n relations are necessary but we often forget that both of them are so fragile. They can be lost at any moment. This brings me to الحی القیوم at the beginning of the surah. Only Allah is forever there, so long as He's there, I m secure. Why shouldn't I rely on the ever living, ever sustaining. Why shouldn't I rely on the One who's the source of these means? Why should I even fear of losing them when the Ever Sustainer is with me?

Takeaway: Tangible things and relationships are important but they are just temporary means and they are not the ends. My beginning n end of support is with the Ever living Ever Sustaining. I m getting myself free from fear of loss!

Jazakallah khair for this beautiful reflection. This made me ponder on how we should make everything in our life an act of ibaadah including attaining wealth and raising children. These things are part of life but you fail when these worldly things are your sole focus on with a worldly gain. If you peruse a career with good intentions to please Allah, and raise children righteously, the things of this dunya will benefit you in the akira. We will become less attached to them aslo since they become a means to get close to Allah.

المُرادُ بِهِمْ وفْدُ نَجْرانَ، وذَلِكَ لِأنّا رُوِّينا في بَعْضِ قِصَّتِهِمْ أنَّ أبا حارِثَةَ بْنَ عَلْقَمَةَ قالَ لِأخِيهِ: إنِّي لَأعْلَمُ أنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَقًّا ولَكِنَّنِي إنْ أظْهَرْتُ ذَلِكَ أخَذَ مُلُوكُ الرُّومِ مِنِّي ما أعْطَوْنِي مِنَ المالِ والجاهِ، فاللَّهُ تَعالى بَيَّنَ أنَّ أمْوالَهم وأوْلادَهم لا تَدْفَعُ عَنْهم عَذابَ اللَّهِ في الدُّنْيا والآخِرَةِ. والقَوْلُ الثّانِي: أنَّ اللَّفْظَ عامٌّ، وخُصُوصُ السَّبَبِ لا يَمْنَعُ عُمُومَ اللَّفْظِ.

كَفَرُواْ ... ليس بين الله تعالى وبين عباده نسب، إنما بينه وبينهم عمل، فمؤمنون ناجون أو كافرون هالكون.

أَمۡوَٰلُهُمۡ ... قد يفتح الله على الكفار من الدنيا ما يجعلهم أغنياء؛ لأن الغنى والفقر ليسا مقياسًا للرضى والسخط.

وَلَآ أَوۡلَٰدُهُم... لحوق نسب أولاد الكفار لآبائهم بنكاح صحيح عندهم، أما إن كان بسفاح فليسوا أولادًا لهم.

وَقُودُ ٱلنَّارِ ... لا تشتد النار إلا بوقود، ونار الدنيا غير نار الآخرة؛ فنار الآخرة وقودها الناس والحجارة.

We will be close to the things that we value and prioritize the most in this life. It's like an attractive force that we ourselves create with every action and intention that we take. If we value and love Allah more than anything else, then He will be close to us. But if we value our wealth and the luxuries and technologies of this worldly life more than Allah (even though we don't worship them), then those things will be brought closer to us. But then people will realize that these other things will not bring them any peace or safety in the next life. The peace and safety that they felt by having them were only a temporary illusion. I am reminded of the burial practices of the anc

В День Суда не спасут ни богатство, ни родство — единственной опорой будет иман, а всё, что подменяло Аллаха, обернётся гибелью.

Omar Suleiman

For those who reject faith, their wealth and children will not do any form of good for them on the day of judgement. They will not be able to avail them in any way whatsoever when they arrive on the day of judgement.

Ilm For Success

8mo agoAli 'Imran (3:10)

We will be questioned about every blessing Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ has given us in this world – all our amanaat, our children, our bodies, our wealth. Among the greatest of these blessings is Hidayah, the Word of Allah itself. And with greater blessings come greater responsibilities.

The minimum responsibility toward the Qur’an is to believe in it and not deny it. Beyond that comes understanding it, studying it, applying it in our lives, and then spreading its message. Yet what often happens is that, even though we are connected to the Qur’an in some way - through recitation, translations, tafsir, or other means - we limit this connection to a superficial level. We use it merely to fu
