Whispers… in words
To the wounded hearts, broken minds, and despairing souls, know that you are in this world and that everything in it will perish, including your sorrows. So turn your sorrows and misfortunes into gains.
(Whispers.. in Words) in its (37) edition, thanks to God and His help: ➊ To the wounded hearts , broken minds, and despairing souls, know that you are in this world and that everything in it will pass away, including your sorrows, so transform your sorrows and misfortunes into gains. “(How wonderful is the affair of the believer! Indeed, his affair is entirely good. And that is not the case for anyone except the believer. If something good happens to him, he is grateful, and that is good for him; and if something bad happens to him, he is patient, and that is good for him.)” And know that God has not sent down any disease without a cure for it, and your effective cure and healing balm that heals wounds, mends brokenness, and revives souls is within your reach and is free of charge, with guaranteed results and safe consequences. Do you know that it is in the Book of God ? {(O mankind! There has come to you instruction from your Lord and healing for what is in the hearts and guidance and mercy for the believers. Yes, it is in the remembrance of Allah ( Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured.) And among the remembrances of Allah is sending blessings upon His Messenger and Chosen One, and do not neglect prayer, for (whenever the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was distressed by a matter, he would resort to prayer), meaning that we should turn to the Creator before the creation. ..******** ➋ A disturbing obsession for many young people before and after marriage , and even after having children, is owning a home. This is the dream of every family, and it is not achieved for many families. Perhaps the head of the family dies before he lives in a home that he owns. If one of us were told to recite a certain Surah a thousand times, or pray a thousand rak’ahs in a day and obtain a plot of vacant land that is not built on and is suitable for building a house, if we were told that, most of us would not fail to do so, hoping to obtain a few meters of land in our mortal world. However, if we contemplate the Sunnah of our Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, in which God, who does not break His promise, promises that there are simple deeds that guarantee a believer a home, but in Paradise and not in this world, a house made of bricks of gold and bricks of silver, so (Whoever prays twelve rak’ahs in a day and night, voluntarily, other than the obligatory prayers, God will build for him a house in Paradise ). There are other deeds that build houses in Paradise, but we – except for those upon whom your Lord has mercy – have been overcome by heedlessness and weakness. Our certainty and our condition in this world are described by God in His Book, when He says : {life of this world, while the Hereafter is better and more lasting.} And God Almighty warned us against being attached to this world in many places in His Book, such as His saying: {Say: The enjoyment of this world is little, and the Hereafter is better for him who fears God.} .******** ➌ Man is social by nature, and the people he has the most fun with are his friends, especially in the prime of life. You see a young man feel at ease around his friend or friends, and he speaks and behaves with them and among them with complete ease, and he says things that he would not say to his father at home or to the teacher at school or the mosque. Here, the influence and being influenced by the environment of friends occurs. This leads us to two important matters. The first is that the greatest influence on your son and daughter are their friends. If they are good, they will be good like them, and if they are corrupt, they will drag them to corruption and destruction. A child – especially a teenager – cannot be without friends, and the most appropriate solution is to keep him away from bad friends and provide a good alternative. The other matter is for the parents to be like a friend to their child. Here, they gain their son, and if he has a problem, he confides in them and no one else. A son may face a problem, but he does not resort to his family as a result of harshness in dealing with his father, especially problems of a moral nature. Many human wolves deceive the young boy or girl and then blackmail him, so he finds himself between Two fires, the fire of the family and the punishment and scandal expected from it, and the fire of the human wolf, who may then submit to this criminal and something bad happens with bad consequences. If we want a shortcut to good friends for our children, it is the Holy Quran circles . If you have chosen a blessed Quranic nursery for your son or daughter, then it is fitting that his or her friends be from the people of the Quran, while paying attention to the fact that regular schools usually have a mixture of bad friends, so we should pay attention to them. ******** ➍ Illness breaks the human soul and reveals its weakness, and therefore people crowd at the doors of famous doctors, with people spending a lot of their own money; so that they can taste the flavor of health that they or one of their loved ones lost, especially children who are the apple of their eyes. There is a type of disease that is exhausting for the patient, and tiring for those with him of family and relatives, which is the disease resulting from the evil eye or magic. This type of patient pant after exorcists and may have turned to sorcerers and charlatans out of ignorance or weak religion. Therefore, you find the exorcist can hardly find time to meet people’s need for exorcism, and some of them have taken it as a profession. Due to the scarcity of exorcists and the large number of bewitched and afflicted with the evil eye, and before that, sorcerers in most Muslim countries roam freely without censure; Because the limit in most Muslim societies is suspended, and in fact many countries do not recognize in their laws that magic is a crime at all, and perhaps magic is considered one of the fine arts, let alone implementing the limit of magic on it, and Allah is the source of help. The truth is that the magician is an oppressor who deserves to be killed, due to his extreme danger and the corruption he causes to people’s beliefs and bodies. If this is the situation, then we must learn how to treat ourselves and our families, and before that, how to protect ourselves from the evil of envious magicians. Prevention is better than cure. Let us strive as much as we can to persuade those in authority to purify the country, rid the servants of the evil of magicians and sorcerers, and implement Allah’s rule over them, as “the limit of a magician is to strike him with the sword.” ..******** ➎ What warms the heart, pleases the soul, and pleases the eye is the large number of people who have converted to Islam. Islam is the fastest-spreading religion, and this is a fact acknowledged by enemies before allies. However, those who contemplate the stories of many new converts will find the clear impact of the Quran on them. You will find someone who says, “The Quran amazed me, I felt like God was speaking to me.” Another says, “The Quran answered all my questions.” A third says, “Every time I read it, I cry and cry.” You may find someone who says, “The Quran was the light that illuminated my path.” Someone who says, “My life, after reading the Quran, had meaning.” The amazing thing is that these people, and many others, only read a translation of the meanings of the Quran in their mother tongue. They were so affected without reading it in the language in which it was revealed to Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace. Glory be to God, how great He is, and how great His words are. This calls us to thank God for making Arabic our mother tongue and facilitating our understanding of His Book directly without the mediation of translation. All we have to do is contemplate the Book of our Lord and make it a beacon that illuminates and organizes our lives. Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.
