THE COMMAND TO REFLECT UPON THE CREATION OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH

ALLĀH says,

قُلِ انظُرُواْ مَاذَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالَارْضِ
Say: "Behold all that is in the heavens and the earth."

ALLĀH, the Exalted, guides HIS servants to reflect upon His blessings.

ALLĀH, the Exalted, guides HIS servants to reflect upon HIS blessings. What ALLĀH has created in the heavens and the earth is part of the clear signs for those who possess correct understanding. From that which is in the heavens are the luminous stars, the firmaments, the moving planetary bodies, the sun and the moon. This also includes the night and day, their alternating, and their merging so that one is long and the other is short. Then they alternate (through the year) so that the long one becomes short and the short one becomes long. Likewise, from the signs in the heavens is the rising of the sun, its vastness, its beauty and its adornment.

Also, whatever rain that ALLĀH sends down from the heavens, thereby bringing the earth to life after its death, and causing various types of fruits, crops, flowers and plants to grow, is from its signs. Whatever ALLĀH creates in the earth from the various species of beasts, with their differing colors and benefits (for man), are signs. The mountains, plains, deserts, civilizations, structures and barren lands of the earth are signs.

Then there are the wonders of the sea and its waves. Yet, it still has been made subservient and submissive to those who travel upon its surface. It carries their ships, allowing them to traverse upon it with ease. This is all under the control of the Most Able; there is no GOD worthy of worship except HIM and there is no true Lord other than HIM.

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

“Since their creation, people have always been travelers,
‏
And they have no place to go,

Except in heaven or hell.”

Tawhīd Is The Foundation of Happiness

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

“The greatest way to achieve happiness is through Tawhīd. The happiness of a person’s heart depends upon its perfection, strength and increase.”

[The Keys to Happiness | Pg. 33]

Take note from our brethren in the depts of their genocide. Even through the soul shattering trials, they still praise Allah (and not mere lip service either). They truly feel grateful, they truly see the khayr in what He chooses for them and they wholeheartedly submit to His Decree. Despite everything, they still choose to LIVE, and still find JOY in living, in finding beauty in their surroundings!! Subhanallah may Allah love them and grant our Ummah victory.
May Allah make us among those who see beauty and khayr in whatever He wills for us.

Less than a 100 days for Ramadan bi-idhnillah 🌾 May you and I be of those whom He blesses:

“The one whom Allāh blesses is the one who knows the truth, acts in accordance with it, and purifies his soul with beneficial knowledge and righteous deeds. Such is the successful one:
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا

“Indeed, successful is he who purifies himself” [91:9].”

— Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله تعالى [Madārij As-Sālikīn]


قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا

This could mean that whoever purifies himself by obedience to Allah, then he will be successful.

This is as Qatadah said:

"He cleanses it from the lowly and despicable characteristics."

Similar to this has been reported from Mujahid, Ikrimah and Said bin Jubayr.

[Tafsir ibn Kathir 91:9]

Abu Musa reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, Stretches out His Hand during the night so that the people may repent for the fault committed from dawn till dusk and He stretches out His Hand during the day so that the people may repent for the fault committed from dusk to dawn. (He would accept repentance) before the sun rises in the west (before the Day of Resurrection)

[Sahih Muslim 2759]
