In the Name of Allah, the
Gracious, the Merciful
Excerpts from Chapter 2
of QUR’AANIC STUDIES – A Modern
Tafsir, discussing divine advice given to Adam while being banished from
Paradise to this earth:
38.
We said, “Down you go all from this place! Then whenever Guidance comes to you
from Me, all those who follow My Guidance shall have no fear, nor shall they
grieve.”
39. “And those who suppress the Truth, and belie Our Verses/signs, those
will be dwellers of the Fire, therein to remain, forever! 37”
37. And this - the divine message contained in these two Verses 38
and 39 - is what is vitally important and necessary for us now to know and
always remember. This is the divine mantra for the ultimate salvation of any
individual among mankind. The individual ought to remember that it is only the purely
divine - and not any other - guidance that will get him/her the
salvation. The individual also ought to remember that if he/she suppresses or in
any way whatsoever belies the truth behind any piece of the divine
guidance, he/she would certainly be doomed!
Grant us the wisdom to take heed of Your Advice, Allah!
