المقصد لحياتنا عرفان بالله

قَالَ اللهُ عَنْ سَبَبِ خَلْقِنَا

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ

الْعِبَادَةُ يَعْنِي أَنَّ تَعَرُّفَ – كَيْفَ نُعَبِّدُ مِنْ لَا نَعْرُفُ ؟ اللهﷻ هُوَ الْحَيُّ وَ الْقَيُّومُ وَ كِلَاَمُهُ هُوَ الْحَيُّ أَيْضًا لأن كلام الله ليس مخلوق

وَلَكِنَّ هِي مِنْ صفات لله

اللهﷻ مُخَاطِبٌ عَلَيْنَا بِكِلَاَمِهِ وهو يسأل علينا أسْئِلَةٌ مهمة

مِنَ الْمُهِمِّ جِدًّا بِالنِّسْبَةِ لَنَا التَّفْكِيرُ فِي هَذِهِ الْأسْئِلَةِ وَالْإِجَابَةِ عَلَيْهَا

 لُغَةَ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ مُهِمٌّ جِدًّا فِي هَذِهِ الْأَمْرِ لِتَفْهَمُ الْكَلَاَمَ اللهﷻ

الُ كَلَاَمُ اللهِ هِي وَسِيلَةُ الْأفْضَلِ وأَكْبَرَ مِنْ وَسَائِلِ لِلتَّقَرُّبَ مِنَ اللهِ

نَعْرُفَ اللهَ بِالتَّفَكُّرِ فِي جَلَاَلِهِ وَعَظْمَتِهِ وبِشُكْرِهِ عَلَى نِعَمِهِ - لَا يمكن تُفَكِّرُ بالله وبِالْقُرْآنِ بِدُونِ لُغَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ - مَثَلًا قَدَمَ اللهُ نَفْسَهُ – 
الرَّحْمَٰنُ ‎﴿١﴾‏ عَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ ‎﴿٢﴾‏ خَلَقَ الْإِنسَانَ ‎﴿٣﴾‏ عَلَّمَهُ الْبَيَانَ ‎﴿٤﴾‏ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ بِحُسْبَانٍ ‎﴿٥﴾‏ وَالنَّجْمُ وَالشَّجَرُ يَسْجُدَانِ ‎﴿٦﴾‏ وَالسَّمَاءَ رَفَعَهَا وَوَضَعَ الْمِيزَانَ ‎﴿٧﴾‏ أَلَّا تَطْغَوْا فِي الْمِيزَانِ ‎﴿٨﴾‏ وَأَقِيمُوا الْوَزْنَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَلَا تُخْسِرُوا الْمِيزَانَ ‎﴿٩﴾‏ وَالْأَرْضَ وَضَعَهَا لِلْأَنَامِ ‎﴿١٠﴾‏ فِيهَا فَاكِهَةٌ وَالنَّخْلُ ذَاتُ الْأَكْمَامِ ‎﴿١١﴾‏ وَالْحَبُّ ذُو الْعَصْفِ وَالرَّيْحَانُ ‎﴿١٢﴾‏ فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ ‎﴿١٣﴾
تخيلوا كيف ستكون حياتنا بدون تلاوة القرآن وبلا قانون قائم على الحق لا الرغبات البشرية. قانون صالح لجميع الأوقات ولا يتغير مع الحكومات - هذا أكابر من نعمات الله - واجب علينا نشكر الله 
عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُورَةَ "الرَّحْمَنِ" مِنْ أَوَّلِهَا إِلَى آخِرِهَا، فَسَكَتُوا فَقَالَ: "لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُهَا عَلَى الْجِنِّ لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ، فَكَانُوا أَحْسَنَ مَرْدُودًا مِنْكُمْ، كُنْتُ كُلَّمَا أَتَيْتُ عَلَى قَوْلِهِ: ﴿فَبِأَيِّ آلاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ﴾، قَالُوا: لَا بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ نِعَمِكَ رَبَّنَا-نُكَذِّبُ، فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ
القرآن هو الخطاب الحي من الإله الحي - نقرأ القرآنَ للثواب، ولكن نحتاج إلى قراءتِه للهداية، نحتاج أن نقرأَه لِنعرِفَ الله، نحتاج أن نقرأَه لِنَمْلَأَ قلوبَنا بنورِ الله، الأجرُ لازمٌ ولكنّه ليس هو المقصدُ الوحي أو الأهم من المقاصد نزول القرآن - غَيِّرِ النيّةَ تَتَغَيَّرِ النتيجةُ كما أخبرنا رسول اللهﷺ في الحديث مشهور

عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَبِي حَفْصٍ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ: إنَّمَا الْأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ، وَإِنَّمَا لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى، فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَهِجْرَتُهُ إلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ لِدُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوْ امْرَأَةٍ يَنْكِحُهَا فَهِجْرَتُهُ إلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إلَيْهِ

يجب علينا تغييرُ طريقةِ تدريسِ القرآن، اليوم نحن نُرَكِّزُ فقط على القواعدِ والتجويدِ وأصولِ القراءات حسَبَ حفصِ و ورش وغير ذلك، يجب أن نُرَكِّزُ على أثرِ القرآن على القلب، كما أمرنا الله في سورة الأنفال، فقال: إِنَّمَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱللَّهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَإِذَا تُلِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتُهُۥ زَادَتْهُمْ إِيمَـٰنًا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ

أولئك الذين يقرؤون القرآن أولاً يعني أصحاب رسول اللهﷺ يفكرون في تأثير كلام الله على قلوبهم غيَّر الله حياتهم وعالمهم. عندما فتحت أبواب قلوبهم لنور الله، فتح الله لهم أبواب العالم. اليوم نحن نقرأ القرآن، ولكن أبواب قلبنا مغلق. فقلوبنا مملوءة بظلمة وخوف من غير الله ورجاء من غير الله. وهذا شرك لأن الاعتماد على الأسباب هو أنواع الشرك بالله

اللهم احفظنا من الشرك ومن كل ما لا يرضيك 
دعانا الله فهل قبلنا الدعوة؟ أمرنا الله أن نتكلم معه. ولكن هل نتكلم مع الله؟ أمرنا الله أن نسأله وحده استغني عنه وحده فماذا نفعل؟ أخبرنا الله سبب مشاكلنا وفتان ومصيبانة

ظَهَرَ ٱلْفَسَادُ فِى ٱلْبَرِّ وَٱلْبَحْرِ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِى ٱلنَّاسِ لِيُذِيقَهُم بَعْضَ ٱلَّذِى عَمِلُوا۟ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ

ولكن هل نعود إلى الله أم نركض إلى غير الله
هل نبحث عن حلول في كتاب الله وسنة رسول الله أم في الفلسفة والسياسة والأنسورية والعصيبية؟ ثم نشكو من أن مشاكلنا لا تنتهي أبدا - قال الله لنا الحل لمشاكلنا. هو قال
وَمَن يَتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُۥ مَخْرَجًا

وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُۥٓ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بَـٰلِغُ أَمْرِهِۦ قَدْ جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدْرًا

برأيك، هل التقوى حل لمشاكلنا الدنيوية؟ كان أصحاب رسول الله يستغفرون ويتوبون والصدق في مواجهة المشاكل لأن الله تعالى قال

فَقُلْتُ ٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ غَفَّارًا

يُرْسِلِ ٱلسَّمَآءَ عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًا

وَيُمْدِدْكُم بِأَمْوَٰلٍ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ جَنَّـٰتٍ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ أَنْهَـٰرًا

أذكر نفسي أن معرفة الحل لن يساعد إذا لم نطبقه

فقال الله تعالى – وَأَن لَّيْسَ لِلْإِنسَـٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ  

ليس ما يعرف عنه – علم بدون عمل هو مصيبة كبيرة يوم القيامة

أوصيكم ونفسي عن أهمية العمل على أوامر الله بطريقة رسوله

فهو قال عن الامتحان الأكبر يعني هذه الحياة ومعيار النجاح و الفوز والحقيقة عن الحياة الدنيا –

كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَآئِقَةُ ٱلْمَوْتِ وَإِنَّمَا تُوَفَّوْنَ أُجُورَكُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ فَمَن زُحْزِحَ عَنِ ٱلنَّارِ وَأُدْخِلَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ فَقَدْ فَازَ وَمَا ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَآ إِلَّا مَتَـٰعُ ٱلْغُرُورِ

هذا مقام تفكير على حياتنا    

وَٱللَّهُ يَقُولُ ٱلْحَقَّ وَهُوَ يَهْدِى ٱلسَّبِيلَ


Allahﷻ said about the reason we were created 

And the jinn and mankind were not created except to worship (Allah).  

Worship means to know – how can we worship One we do not know? Allahﷻ, is the living and the mighty, and His words are also alive, because the Word of Allahﷻ is not created, but it is one of the attributes of Allahﷻ  

Allahﷻ is addressing us with His words, and he is asking us important questions 

It is very important for us to think about these questions and answer them. 

The Arabic language is critical in this matter of understanding the Word of Allahﷻ Almighty  

The Word of Allahﷻ is the best and biggest means of getting closer to Allahﷻ. 

We know Allahﷻ by contemplating on His majesty and greatness and by thanking Him for His grace. For example, Allahﷻ presented Himself 

The Most Beneficent (Allah)! (1) Has taught (you mankind) the Quran (by His Mercy). (2) He created man. (3) He taught him eloquent speech. (4) The sun and the moon run on their fixed courses (exactly) calculated with measured out stages for each (for reckoning, etc.). (5) And the herbs (or stars) and the trees both prostrate. (6) And the heaven He has raised high, and He has set up the Balance. (7) In order that you may not transgress (due) balance. (8) And observe the weight with equity and do not make the balance deficient. (9) And the earth He has put for the creatures. (10) Therein are fruits, date-palms producing sheathed fruit-stalks (enclosing dates). (11) And also corn, with (its) leaves and stalk for fodder, and sweet-scented plants. (12) Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinns and men) deny? (13) Surah Rahman (55)

Imagine what our life would be like without the recitation of Qur’an and without a law based on truth and not human desires. A law that is valid for all times and does not change with governments. This is the greatest of Allahﷻ’s blessings.  It is our duty to thank Allahﷻ for His blessings. 

It was narrated that Jabir (RA) said: Rasoolullah came out to his Companions and read Sura “Ar-Rahman” from the beginning to the end, and they were silent. He said: “I read it to the jinn on the night of the jinn, and they answered better than you. Whenever I came to the Ayah: “Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinns and men) deny?”, they said: “None of your blessings do we deny, our Lord, praise be to you.” 

The Qur’an is the living Word of the living Allahﷻ. We read the Qur’an for reward, but we need to read it for guidance, we need to read it to know Allahﷻ, we need to read it to fill our hearts with the light of guidance from Allah. The reward is definite, but it is not the intention of revelation or the most important of the purposes of the revelation of the Qur’an. Alter than the intention and the result changes. As Rasoolullah told us in the famous hadith narrated by the Commander of the Faithful, Abu Hafs ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA) who said: I heard Rasoolullah say: Actions are based on intentions, and every person will have what he intended, so whoever migrates to Allah and His Messenger migrates to Allah and His Messenger  and whoever migrates for worldly gain or to marry a woman, then he migrates to what he migrates for.” 

We must change the way the Qur’an is taught, today we focus only on grammar, intonation, rules of pronunciation (Tajweed), and the style of recitation, e.g., Hafs, Warsh and so on. However, we must focus first on the impact of the Qur’an on the heart. As Allahﷻ commanded us in Surat Al-Anfal, and said: The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts and when His Ayaat (the Qur’an) are recited unto them, they (i.e., the Ayaat) increase their Faith; and they put their trust in their Lord (Alone).

Those who read the Qur’an first, that is, the Companions of Rasoolullah reflected on the influence of Allahﷻ’s words on their hearts and Allah altered their lives and their world. When the doors of their hearts were opened to the light of Allahﷻ, Allahﷻ opened the gates of the world to them. Today we read the Qur’an, but the doors of our heart are shut. Our hearts are filled with darkness, fear of other than Allahﷻ, and hope from other than Allahﷻ. This is Shirk because relying on the means instead of on Allah alone, is a type of polytheism.

Oh Allah, protect us from polytheism and from everything that doesn’t please you.  

Allahﷻ called us, but did we accept the invitation? Allahﷻ commanded us to speak to Him, but do we speak to Allahﷻ? Allahﷻ ordered us to ask Him alone, but what do we do?

Allahﷻ told us about the reason for our problems, strife, and calamities. 

Corruption appeared on land and in the sea, with what the hands of men have gained. So that they may taste a part of what they have done and that they may return (to Allah 

But do we go back to Allahﷻ or run to other than Allahﷻ? 

Are we looking for solutions in the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of Rasoolullah or in philosophy, politics, nationalism, tribalism, and racism? Then we complain that our problems never end. Allahﷻ told us the solution to our problems. He said, 

And whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). (2) And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, then He will suffice him. Verily, Allah will accomplish his purpose. Indeed Allah has set a measure for all things. (3).  

In your opinion, is piety a solution to our worldly problems? The Companions of Rasoolullah used to ask forgiveness and repent and be honest in the face of problems because Allah Almighty said:

“I said (to them): ‘Ask forgiveness from your Lord; Verily, He is Oft-Forgiving; (10) ‘He will send rain to you in abundance; (11) ‘And give you increase in wealth and children, and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers.” (12)  

I remind myself that knowing the solution will not help if we do not apply it. 

Allah Almighty said, “And that man can have nothing but what he does (good or bad). (39)”   

I recommend you and myself about the importance of living by Allahﷻ’s commands  in the manner of His Messenger. 

Allah told us about the biggest test which means this  life and the criterion of success and victory:

Everyone shall taste death. And only on the Day of Resurrection shall you be paid your wages in full. And whoever is removed away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise, he indeed is successful. The life of this world is only the enjoyment of deception (a deceiving thing). (185)  

This is something to reflect on in our lives.

And Allah spoke the truth, and He guides to the Right way.
