What DEEN and DAYN Tell Us

DEBT is something we to owe to someone.

Dignified humans repay what they owe to others, and good Muslims wish to die without having any debt left behind them.

Not Being Judgmental: Lessons from Surah al Kahf

بسم الله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله

In today’s world judging people, giving unnecessary and unsolicited advice has become the norm of the day. When you post a certain post in the social media, for example, you find immediate reaction from some members of the group. They are ready to give their judgement about you and your post. And then, you know, the arguments and counter-arguments start, which at times lead to unhealthy developments among the members of the group.

I was thinking about this last Friday while reading the beautiful story of Prophet Musa and al Khidr. The lessons we learn from this story is very much relevant in contemporary times:

Qur’an is never meant to cause distress of any kind!

بسم الله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله

Qur’an is the Book of Allah. It is the Maker’s Instruction Manual.

He sent this beautiful Book for man’s guidance on earth. As a source of Mercy, as a source of  Light, as a Source of Blessings.

It is meant for human welfare. And never meant, in the least, to put people in distress!

Qur’an is Bayaan and Tibyaan as well!

بسم الله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله

Qur’an calls itself Bayaan. Qur’an calls itself Tibyaan.

What is their meaning and what is the difference?
