Today's Ayat for Friday, 2018-03-16 / 28 Jumada al-thani 1439
and by the soul and that (Power) which designed it
and inspired it with knowledge of evil and piety,
those who purify their souls will certainly have everlasting happiness
and those who corrupt their souls will certainly be deprived (of happiness).
-- ash-Shams 91:7-10 as rendered by Muhammad Sarwar
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَا
فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّاهَا
وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّاهَا

IslamAwakened has been asked to add commentary to our Today's Ayat
This is today's comment:
Caring about the condition of our own souls is a task that we have been given.
Our Creator HAS GIVEN US THE TOOLS to know who we are, and to work to improve
... but the EFFORT to grow is on us.
Use the tools, and He will give us the results.
Ignore the problem and we will only get worse.
This is an OPINION.
We must always read the verse(s) for ourselves!

Today's Ayat for Monday, 2018-03-12 / 24 Jumada al-thani 1439
ALLURING unto man is the enjoyment of worldly desires through women, and children, and heaped-up treasures of gold and silver, and horses of high mark, and cattle, and lands. All this may be enjoyed in the life of this world - but the most beauteous of all goals is with God.
--
Wealth and children are an adornment of this, world's life: but good deeds, the fruit whereof endures forever, are of far greater merit in thy Sustainer's sight, and a far better source of hope.
-- al-Imran 3:14 and al-Kahf 18:46 as rendered by Muhammad Asad
زُيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ حُبُّ الشَّهَوَاتِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ وَالْبَنِينَ وَالْقَنَاطِيرِ الْمُقَنطَرَةِ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَالْخَيْلِ الْمُسَوَّمَةِ وَالْأَنْعَامِ وَالْحَرْثِ ذَٰلِكَ مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَاللَّهُ عِندَهُ حُسْنُ الْمَآبِ
--
الْمَالُ وَالْبَنُونَ زِينَةُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْبَاقِيَاتُ الصَّالِحَاتُ خَيْرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ أَمَلًا

Today's Ayat for Monday, 2018-03-05 / 17 Jumada al-thani 1439
If you have suffered injuries ˹at Uḥud˺, they suffered similarly ˹at Badr˺. We alternate these days ˹of victory and defeat˺ among people so that Allah may reveal the ˹true˺ believers, choose martyrs from among you—and Allah does not like the wrongdoers—
-- al-Imran 3:140 as rendered in The Clear Quran, by Dr. Mustafa Khattab
إِن يَمْسَسْكُمْ قَرْحٌ فَقَدْ مَسَّ الْقَوْمَ قَرْحٌ مِّثْلُهُ وَتِلْكَ الْأَيَّامُ نُدَاوِلُهَا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ وَلِيَعْلَمَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَيَتَّخِذَ مِنكُمْ شُهَدَاءَ وَاللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الظَّالِمِينَ

IslamAwakened has been asked to add commentary to our Today's Ayat
This is today's comment:
We are reminded often in the Qur'an that we are here to be tested.
This verse, while referring to historical events, also applies to all of us today. As individuals, or as groups and teams, we will have progress and setbacks. We should not see such setbacks as punishments but as both tests and as lessons. Serious self-examination will show us much of the foundations of our "defeats". We also need to remember that even a success can be a test!
Takeaway: "Good days" and "bad days" are guaranteed; it is on us to learn from them.
This is an OPINION.
We must always read the verse(s) for ourselves!

Today's Ayat for Sunday, 2018-03-04 / 16 Jumada al-thani 1439
Say to them: "Act. God will see your conduct, and so will His Apostle and the faithful; for you will in the end go back to Him, who knows the unknown and the known, who will tell you of what you were doing."
--
Who created death and life in order to try you to see who of you are best of deed. He is all-mighty and forgiving,
-- at-Taubah 9:105 and al-Mulk 67:2 as rendered by Ahmed Ali
وَقُلِ اعْمَلُوا فَسَيَرَى اللَّهُ عَمَلَكُمْ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَسَتُرَدُّونَ إِلَىٰ عَالِمِ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
--
الَّذِي خَلَقَ الْمَوْتَ وَالْحَيَاةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْغَفُورُ

IslamAwakened has been asked to add commentary to our Today's Ayat
This is today's comment:
Many, many passages in the Qur'an warn us that we will be judged on our intentions (see al-Baqarah 2:173, al-Baqarah 2:225, al-Ma`idah 5:89, al-An`am 6:152, etc.); but this does NOT mean that "sending thoughts and prayers" are all that we will be judged on when we come to the Last Day.
Even in the time of the Prophet(sallallahu alaihi wa salaam) - at-Taubah 9:105 -
and now, and for the rest of worldly time - al-Mulk 67:2 -
it is the DEEDS we do that measure us.
Good intentions must generate good actions.
This is an OPINION.
We must always read the verse(s) for ourselves!

Today's Ayat for Saturday, 2018-03-03 / 15 Jumada al-thani 1439
Believers, be mindful of God. And let every soul consider what it has put forth for tomorrow, and be mindful of God, for God is well aware of what you do.
--
And it will be said, "Read your book. Today you are a witness against yourself."
-- al-Hashr 59:18 and al-Isra` 17:14 as rendered by Safi Kaskas
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَلْتَنظُرْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ لِغَدٍ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

IslamAwakened has been asked to add commentary to our Today's Ayat
This is today's comment:
These two ayat serve as "before" and "after" perspectives on the same important theme.
While we live - "before" - 59:18 reminds us to invest in our future fate, living and beyond.
When the Last Day comes - "after" - 17:14 tells us that our investments will be our record.
The theme: We must not waste our days.
This is an OPINION.
We must always read the verse(s) for ourselves!
