guidance

and I'll keep this in mind..

'This is a plain exposition for mankind, as well as a guidance and an admonition for the God fearing' (3:138)

Al-Quran elevates people to a height which they could NEVER attain without its guidance.

But the God fearing (muttaqin) are the only ones who APPRECIATE its guidance and admonition.

A word of truth is not appreciated EXCEPT by a believing heart which is particularly RECEPTIVE to guidance.

A word of plain admonition can only BENEFIT a heart which fears God.

The ability to distinguish between truth and falsehood, or between following guidance and going astray is RARELY LACKING among people.

By nature, the TRUTH IS SELF EVIDENT.

What people lack is the DESIRE to follow the truth and the ability to prefer its implementation, because these are only nitiated by FAITH and cannot be preserved EXCEPT with the fear of God.

It is these qualities (believing and remaining God fearing - IMAN & TAQWA), which ENABLE man to make use of this guidance and benefit by its light, REGARDLESS of the difficulties one may face.

This is indeed the heart of the matter.

There are many people who KNOW the truth but who, nevertheless, remain immersed in falsehood either because they yield to temptation and desire or because they FEAR TO SHARE in the hardship which these followers of truth may have to endure.

12: 108 (Ana wa manittaba'ani..)
