Today's Ayat for Tuesday, 2018-12-25 / 18 Rabi` al-thani 1440
And certainly We gave wisdom to Luqman, saying: Be grateful to Allah. And whoever is grateful, he is only grateful for his own soul; and whoever is ungrateful, then surely Allah is Self-sufficient, Praised.
-- Luqman 31:12 as rendered by Shakir
وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا لُقْمَانَ الْحِكْمَةَ أَنِ اشْكُرْ لِلَّهِ وَمَن يَشْكُرْ فَإِنَّمَا يَشْكُرُ لِنَفْسِهِ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ حَمِيدٌ

IslamAwakened has been asked to add commentary to our Today's Ayat
This is today's comment:
Gratitude has been mentioned on over 70 different occasions in the Qur’an
In Chapter 55 of the Quran, titled “The Lord of Mercy,”
God asks the same question thirty-one times,
“Which of the favors of your Lord will you deny?”
Patience, gratitude, and conscious awareness of the ever-presence of our Creator is our foundation.
This is an OPINION.
We must always read the verse(s) for ourselves!

VERILY, man is born with a restless disposition.
[As a rule,] whenever misfortune touches him, he is filled with self-pity;

إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا
إِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ جَزُوعًا

IslamAwakened has been asked to add commentary to our Today's Ayat
This is today's comment:
The Qur'an warns us about some of our bad habits
We are impatient, we are restless, we feel the pressures of time
These are among the tests we need to endure in order to fine-tune our selves
Patience, gratitude, and conscious awareness of the ever-presence of our Creator is the 'fix'
This is an OPINION.
We must always read the verse(s) for ourselves!

He answered: "It is only to God that I complain of my deep grief and my sorrow: for I know, from God, something that you do not know.

IslamAwakened has been asked to add commentary to our Today's Ayat
This is today's comment:
The Qur'an shares several stories of grief
One of the messages in these stories is to accept our own grief and sadness
After hardship there is ease - yet we sometimes forget the two go together
Even the prophets sometimes despaired, yet the answer was always near
This is an OPINION.

AND SO, partake of all the lawful, good things which God has provided for you as sustenance, and render thanks unto God for His blessings, if it is [truly] Him that you worship.

فَكُلُوا مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا وَاشْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ

IslamAwakened has been asked to add commentary to our Today's Ayat
This is today's comment:
The Qur'an tells us, over and over, to be grateful to our Creator
In much of the West today is a thanks-giving holiday.
Let us not fall into the trap of reserving our thanks to such a limited time.
Every morning say "thank You for another day".
This is an OPINION.
We must always read the verse(s) for ourselves!

IslamAwakened has been asked to add commentary to our Today's Ayat
This is today's comment:
We are reminded often to practice patience
(al-Inshirah 94:5-6, al-'Ankabut 29:2-3, al-Baqarah 2:45, just for starters)
Does this mean we have to stand in the face of all troubles?
No, it means that patience must be our first option,
then we ask Allah for guidance.
This is an OPINION.
