Today's reflection [ Ayah 6-7, Surah Al-Baqarah]

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَأَنذَرْتَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تُنذِرْهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ.(٦)

As for those who have rejected (these truths), it is all the same whether or not you warn them, for they will not believe. (2:6)

خَتَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَعَلَىٰ سَمْعِهِمْ وَعَلَىٰٓ أَبْصَٰرِهِمْ غِشَٰوَةٌ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ.(٧)


Allah has sealed their hearts and their hearing, and a covering has fallen over their eyes. They deserve severe chastisement. (2:7)


The meaning of the word 'kafaroo' كَفَرُوا  is to cover . In shariah it means to not accept the facts brought by the true religion or to conceal them or to ignore them. And these kind of people are called Kafiroon.
Allah made the duty of his messengers to invite mankind to His deen whether they believe or not. Because only Allah knows who will believe and who will not. The virtues of it is so deep. In the present ayah meaning is, Allah said to his beloved prophet (SAWS) not to feel sorry for the people who do not take heed. It is their bad lack, that they don't take the deen seriously and they’re not seekers of guidance! 
When sin is committed once, there is black mark on the heart and If the one who commits sins regrets and repents the heart will shine again and if he repeats the sin, that stain will increase. Consequently, it comes to a certain degree that the stain covers the whole heart like a sheath.
     “Allah has set a seal upon their hearts and upon their hearing, and over their vision is a veil. And for them is a great punishment”.
SubhanAllah, how perfectly Allah has placed the words. Now we can understand guidance is also in our hearts, in our hearing and in our vision. These people have a heart without feelings, they have ears but they don’t listen to the truth. Allah says in their eyes there is a cover . Cover means they see, but they don’t see, like they see the messenger but they don’t see him in perfect character. As we know prophet Muhammad (SAWS) didn’t undertake any action out of his personal desire or will. “God has sent me to perfect good manners and to do good deeds.”
( Sahih Bukhari )
May Allah keep our hearts in full of imaan. Ameen 🤲
Ya Allah, forgive us  for all our sins, and help us always turn to seeking forgiveness and Mercy until we die ...Ameen🤲

If you are grateful, He will surely increase you in favor (14:7)

  لَئِن شَكَرتُم لَأَزيدَنَّكُم If you are grateful, He will surely increase you in favor (14:7)   SubhanAllah such a beautiful ayah. In our day to day life, usually what happens when we do some one a favor, we expect them to thank us and appreciate us but when it comes to the blessings that Allah has bestowed upon us we seldom thank Allah. Allah blesses us abundantly and when we thank him sincerely for even a few of his blessing , he increases it ( gives us barakah) in it. How amazing is that? If you want barakah in any thing at all, just thank Allah constantly. Expecting appreciation and gratefulness  from people will only lead us to depression and ill feeling towards others. This is one of the biggest test for us, Allah test every human being by blessing him as He mentions in this ayah(27: 40) “…This is by the grace of my Lord! – to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful! And if any is grateful, truly his gratitude is (a gain) for his own soul; but if any is ...

He, who wishes to enter paradise at the best gate, must please his father and mother.

  He, who wishes to enter paradise at the best gate, must please his father and mother. (Bukhari & Muslim) This, very simple Hadith, has so much weight. Pleasing our parents does not only bring happiness to us in this duniya but also gives us great rewards in the aakhira. Pleasing parents requires constant hard work just as our parents worked hard day and night to raise us. These days we love our personal space so much that we get upset when our parents demand some time of ours or some help from us and we get irritated if this happens often. Just imagine how much time we took from their life? And now when it is time to repay a little we move back. Such is our generation. Our parents were our way to this duniya and our way to jannah. Give them attention, time, respect them, be kind to them, make them happy ,do the things they like together (even if it is drinking morning tea with them ) it means a lot to them. Make a schedule and take out some time for them even if you are far a...

Part of the perfection of a person’s Islam is his leaving that which is of no concern to him

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “ Part of the perfection of a person’s Islam is his leaving that which is of no concern to him ” A hasan hadith. Recorded by at-Tirmidhi and others in that fashion. This hadith nurtures a person to have proper manners and etiquettes especially when it comes to other people's affairs. Personal and private matters of our muslim brothers and sisters is not our concern unless and until a person is found committing a sin upon which it becomes incumbent upon us as a muslim to correct that person in a gentle and polite way or if the opposite person asks us for advise then it becomes his right that we guide him according to the Quran and Sunnah. But otherwise we meddle in other people's affairs for no reason. We ask a couple about when they are going to have a baby. We interfere into private lives when they never asked us to. We advise when...
