Al-Akram: The Most Generous

 

Verse from the Quran:

“Recite, and Your Lord is the Most Generous.” (Qur’an 96:3)

Explanation: 

• Allah is the Most Generous towards His servants in many ways, one of which is teaching human beings all the things that they did not know, including the names of everything, reading and writing, and the means of livelihood.
• Al-Akram is: the superlative form of ‘kareem‘ which means noble-hearted, magnanimous, and generous (i.e. ‘The Most Noble-hearted’). Some have said that it is specifically referring to the understanding, patience, and disregard – all traits of the noble-hearted – which Allah shows towards the ignorance of His servants.

Application:

• Knowing that Allah is the Most Generous instills love for Him in the hearts of Muslims. His generosity towards humankind, in the face of disobedience and disbelief, is so great that the heart becomes full of admiration, awe, and respect. Love increases for the Most Generous One.
• This can also be a means of inspiration to be generous towards others, as it is indeed an excellent trait to possess. Although we cannot reach the level of greatness of Allah’s generosity, we can exhibit as much generosity as is within our ability.

Hijab: Learn Benefit or Obey Allah?

Sometimes we should learn that if Allah has ordered something for us, then it is only for our own good.

 

I was listening to a da’ee who narrated that when he was giving Da’wah to a woman, she asked whether she would have to wear the hijab if she reverted to Islam.

The Da’ee simply replied that if a person loved another, he would do what the o

ther ordered him (meaning if one loved Allah, then he would follow Allah’s commands). The woman happily accepted.

SubhanAllah!! No need for explanation… no need to talk about its benefits… She readily accepted what Allah had ordained for… how many of us are like that?
