O Muslims - 41

 

In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful


Extract from QUR’AANIC STUDIES – A Modern Tafsir PART I:

24. Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo istajeeboo lillahi walilrrasooli itha daAAakum lima yuhyeekum waiAAlamoo anna Allaha yahoolu bayna almar-i waqalbihi waannahu ilayhi tuhsharoona


8:24. O you who believe! Respond to Allah and His Messenger when he calls you to that for which Allah gives you life.15 And know that Allah intervenes between man and his mind16 and that to Him you shall be gathered.


15. The Islamic outlook is that human life on earth is not the be-all and end-all of existence. This is only a testing ground for a better and higher life. Allah and His Messenger call us to the code of conduct in this life necessary for passing the test. And that code of conduct is laid down in the Qur’aan.

16. In other words, Allah Almighty tells us that He knows all the secrets of our minds.
