ابحث عن نفسك في القرآن

قال الله تعالى أنه ذكرنا في القرآن – فهؤ قال: 
لَقَدْ أَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكُمْ كِتَـٰبًا فِيهِ ذِكْرُكُمْ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ  

أين تلك الإشارة ؟ لم يذكر الله أسمائنا بل ذكر أنواع الناس وصفاتهم وأخبرنا عن نهايتهم –   مهم جدا بالنسبة لنا أن نسأل حل يمكن هل نحن فيما بينهم ؟ فقال الله تعالى عن نوع واحد من الناس:  

وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ وَبِٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ وَمَا هُم بِمُؤْمِنِينَ  

يُخَـٰدِعُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَمَا يَخْدَعُونَ إِلَّآ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ  

فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ فَزَادَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مَرَضًا وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْذِبُونَ  

لازم علينا سنتفكر هل يمكن نحن معهم ؟   

أسأل نفسي هل أقول إني أؤمن باللهﷻ ويوم القيامة، ولكن في قلبي مختلف؟ حل يمكن انا أقول إني أحب الله أكثر من أي شخص أو أي شيء آخر ولكن في قلبي حب الدنيا ؤ حب المال وكل أنواع الرغبات التي هي أكثر من حبي لله. 

أَرَءَيْتَ مَنِ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَـٰهَهُۥ هَوَىٰهُ أَفَأَنتَ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ وَكِيلًا  

ما معنى  إِلَـٰهَهُۥ هَوَىٰهُ 

يعاني الناس يطيعون شهواتهم بدلاً من طاعة الله – دعاها الله عبادة إله غير الله – أخبرنا الله سبب وأخبرنا عن نهاية هؤلاء الناس –  

يُخَـٰدِعُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَمَا يَخْدَعُونَ إِلَّآ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ  

فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ فَزَادَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مَرَضًا وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْذِبُونَ  

عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم – لَا يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى يَكُونَ هَوَاهُ تَبَعًا لِمَا جِئْتُ بِهِ 

وهذا تذكير لنفسي لاختبار كل عمل إذا كان يرضي الله أو يرضي 

عن الجماعة أخرى حدثنا الله عنها:  

إِنَّمَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱللَّهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَإِذَا تُلِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتُهُۥ زَادَتْهُمْ إِيمَـٰنًا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ  

ٱلَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَـٰهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ  

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ حَقًّا لَّهُمْ دَرَجَـٰتٌ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ وَرِزْقٌ كَرِيمٌ  

ذكر الله خمسة صفات هؤلاء الناس – ثلاثة بالداخل ولا يعلمها إلا الله واثنان ظاهرن – من المهم جدًا مراقبة قلوبنا وأفعالنا للتأكد من أن لدينا هذه الصفات –  

ثلاثة بالداخل –  ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱللَّهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَإِذَا تُلِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتُهُۥ زَادَتْهُمْ إِيمَـٰنًا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ 

سؤال لنا ما هي حالة قلوبنا. نحن متخوف من الحالة الجسدية للقلب ولكن ماذا عن الحالة الروحية للقلب؟ القلب مُستقبل تجليات الله هل يقدر على استقبالها أم مغلفاً بالذنوب أنه يموت روحياً أو ميتاً؟  والتوكل أجر القلب الذي يستجيب لله  – والخوف من الدنيا عذاب قلب ميت على كلام الله – أفعالنا تدل على حالة قلوبنا ، وهذان الفعلان اللذان ذكرهما الله 

ٱلَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَـٰهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ  

عن هؤلاء الناس قال الله تعالى 

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ حَقًّا لَّهُمْ دَرَجَـٰتٌ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ وَرِزْقٌ كَرِيمٌ  

هذه نهايتهم والله شهادتهم يجب أن نقرر بأنفسنا 

Search for yourself in the Qur’an

Allahﷻ said that He mentioned us in the Qur’an – Heﷻ said
We have revealed to you a book in which you are mentioned, will you not understand? Where is that mention? Allahﷻ did not mention our names, but Heﷻ mentioned the types and attributes of people and told us about their end –   it is very important for us to see if we are among them. Allah  said about one type of people: “And among the people who say that we believe in Allahﷻ and in the last day, and they are not believers. They try to deceive Allahﷻ and those who believe, but they only deceive themselves and even of that they are not aware. There is a disease in their hearts, and Allahﷻ will increase that disease, and they will have a painful torment because they were lying.”

We must ask, “Is it possible that we are with them?” 

I ask myself, “Do I say that I believe in Allah and the Day of Resurrection, but is my heart different?” I can say that I love Allahﷻ more than anyone or anything else, but in my heart is the love of the world, the love of money, and all kinds of desires that are more than my love for Allahﷻ.

Allah said: Have you seen (O Muhammad) the one who takes as his god his own desire? Then would you be responsible for him?

What is the meaning of taking his desire as his god? These are people who obey their desires instead of obeying  Allahﷻ – Allahﷻ called it worship of a God other than Allahﷻ. Allahﷻ told us the reason for this and told us about the end of these people  –  They try to deceive Allahﷻ and those who believe, but they only deceive themselves and of that also they are not aware. There is a disease in their hearts, and Allahﷻ will increase their diseease, and they will have a painful torment because they were lying.

It was narrated from Abu Muhammad ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr ibn al-‘Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “None of you will believe until he subordinates his desires to that which I have brought (i.e., Al-Islam).”

This is a reminder to myself to test every action to see if it pleases Allahﷻ or someone else.

About another group Allahﷻ told us:

Anfaal 2-3: Truly the believers are those who, when Allahﷻ is mentioned, hearts shiver (with His awe and Majesty), and when His verses are recited unto them, their faith increases, and upon their Lord they place their trust. (They are) those who establish the prayer, and from what they have been given, they spend (in charity). Truly they are real believers, and they have stations of honor with their Rabb and for them is honorable provision (Jannah).

Allahﷻ mentioned five attributes of these people – three inside and only Allahﷻ knows them and two apparent – it is very important to monitor our hearts and actions to make sure we have these qualities.  Three that are inside are — when Allahﷻ is mentioned, hearts shiver (with His awe and Majesty), and when His verses are recited unto them, their faith increases, and upon their Lord they place their trust.

The question for us is what is the state of our hearts? We are worried about the physical condition (health) of our heart but what about the spiritual state of the heart? The heart is the receiver of Allahﷻ’s messages. Can it receive them, or is it wrapped in sins that spiritually it is sick or dead?   Tawakkul (complete trust in Allah) is the reward of the heart that responds to Allahﷻ – and the fear of this world is the torment for a heart that is dead to the words of Allahﷻ .  Our actions indicate the state of our hearts, and these two actions that Allahﷻ mentioned:  (They are) those who establish the prayer, and from what they have been given, they spend (in charity). About these people Allahﷻ Almighty said: Truly they are real believers, and they have stations of honor with their Rabb and for them is honorable provision (Jannah).

This is their end and Allah is their witness. We must decide for ourselves where we stand and what we need to do to change.
