1/6/2024 0 Comments Surah al hashr last 3 ayat“I’m too busy concerned with my own self. You see, this is the excuse of those who neglect Allāh, that “I’m busy for myself.” They say it not in so many words but that is the gist of it. Now Allāh is saying, When you neglect Allāh, you don’t do it because you’re taking care of yourself. ![]() They might not say it so bluntly but that is what it is in the end of the day. My business, my work, my 9-5 job, my this, my that, means more to me than religiosity. I don’t have time for religion.” They might not say it so bluntly but, in the end, that is what it is… that I do not prioritize religion. Now how is this that when you neglect Allāh, you neglect yourself? What does this mean? Because if you think about it, when somebody neglects Allāh, let us take the example of those Muslims who are not praying, not practicing, you ask them, “What is your excuse?” The number one excuse is, “This dunya. When you forget Allāh, Allāh says, “I cause you to forget yourself.” When you neglect Allāh, Allāh says, “I cause you to neglect yourself.” So you don’t harm Allāh ‘azza wa jall, you end up harming yourself. This is one of the most profound verses in the whole Qurʾān. What happens when you forget about Allāh? Allāh causes them to forget about themselves. Don’t be like those who forgot about Allāh. And do not be like those who forgot about Allāh. Have consciousness of Allāh for indeed Allāh is aware of what you do. So Allāh says, ‘What is your preparation for what is going to happen…’ and that is, of course, death and that is the akhirah.Īnd then Allāh repeats, Wattaqullah. Every intelligent person has a preparation. ![]() ![]() Nobody works except that they have a long-term plan, unless they don’t really have any vision in life. So Allāh ‘azza wa jall is saying, ‘When you are doing this for your daily life, why don’t you do it for the inevitable tomorrow which is the akhirah?’ What have you stored for tomorrow? Just like every one of us, we have a savings account, we have the money that we’re going to retire on. Nobody goes to sleep without having a plan for tomorrow, if it is in their hands to have a plan, right, unless it is beyond their capability. Every one of us, when we go to sleep, we need to make sure there’s breakfast in the morning we need to make sure there’s going to be lunch for our children. We know where our food is, we know we have our clothes ironed, we have our schedule planned out for today. Now this is a beautiful verse because every one of us, when we go to sleep at night, we have a plan for tomorrow. And on this last page of it, Allāh ‘azza wa jall begins by saying that, Oh you who believe, be conscious of Allāh and let every person take into account what he or she has prepared for tomorrow, what every person has ready for tomorrow. Nowhere in the Qurʾān does Allāh mention more names on one page than on the final page of Sūrat’l-Ḥashr. It is the page that has the highest concentration of Allāh’s names in the entire Qurʾān. So we concluded Sūrat’l-Ḥashr today and, of course, everybody knows the last page of Sūrat’l-Ḥashr.
