(36:12)


In The Name of Allah-SWT the Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
SECRETS OF REVELATION:

By the Wise Quran, the Book full of Wisdom. The Quran is a Book, which contains a complete code of life. It tells us of the ways for leading human life in the most beautiful manner. It contains knowledge about medicine, human wisdom, science and inventions, chemistry and compounds, historical facts and prophecies concerning the future. All wonders in a single Book, of which every word is based on truth. This Quran indeed is the greatest witness that the Holy Prophet-SW is Allah-SWT’s Messenger-SW. Whatever he-SW says about any aspect of life is the most appropriate and indeed a guidance to the straight path. This authenticity of the Quran also endorses the fact that it has been revealed by Allah-SWT , the Absolute and the Most Merciful, in order to guide wayward humanity to the right path. No Prophet-AS had been raised amongst mankind for many generations after Prophet ‘Isa-AS (Jesus-AS) because of which people had become negligent. But even after the great favour of the Holy Prophet-SW’s raising, some people will never be guided. This is because the sins and crimes increase the darkness in hearts.

 

Sins After A Point Becomes A Source Of Eternal Misguidance


This darkness reaches a point where not only the capacity to repent is seized, but also a crookedness sets in the thoughts and understanding, leading to blindness of the Qalb. This is like having shackles around necks that press against the chin pushing the head up, making them unable to see the path. Or as if a wall is erected around them, beyond which there is no observation, which if roofed, one is further submerged into darkness, seeing nothing.

 

When the evil deeds of the people continuously increase, their power to visualize is completely impeded. Allah-SWT attributes the acts of erecting the Walls to Himself, as He-SWT Alone requites them because of their conduct. It makes no difference, whether or not the Holy Prophet-SW informs them of the evil consequences of their conduct, for they have lost the capacity to embrace Islam and can never become believers.

 

Capacity Is The Pre Requisite To Accept Ahadith


The sayings of the Holy Prophet-SW will only be accepted by those having the capacity to accept good advice. Only then they will submit to Allah-SWT’s Magnificence without seeing it and a spirit of devotion to the Most Merciful shall generate in their hearts. They may be conveyed the good news of forgiveness. Even if they err by virtue of being human, Allah-SWT will forgive them out of His-SWT infinite Mercy and shall amply reward them.

 

It is by His-SWT Omnipotence that the dead will be quickened. It is He-SWT , Whose creation spreads across the universe as evidence to His-SWT Creativity, and Who-SWT quickens the dead. He-SWT shall also take them to account, as He-SWT is not dependent on anyone.

 

Actions And Their Effects Will Also Be Subjected To Accountability


His-SWT Knowledge is so vast that He-SWT has precisely documented the actions of the people and their effects before they enter their graves and are gathered on the Day of Judgment. It is very clear that the effects of every action will also be reckoned with. For instance, if someone had constructed a Masjid, dug a well, made a pavement, established any project for social welfare, or founded an Islamic State, as long as the effects thereof are benefited from, the reward will continue to be added to his ledger. Similarly those who pioneer acts of immorality will bear the brunt of the effects so generated. The greatest oppression is to ensnare the Muslims into an un-Islamic form of Government and as long as they remain fettered into it, sin will constantly be added to the ledgers of such planners. May Allah-SWT protect us and grant us the capacity to implement Islam replacing the existing ungodly system in our country!
