- Allah says
- And Allah calls to the Abode of Peace
When Allah mentioned the swiftness of this world and its termination, He invited people to Paradise and encouraged them to seek it. He called it the Abode of Peace. It is the Abode of Peace because it is free from defects and miseries. Allah says before this:
- A parable of the world
إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا كَمَاءٍ أَنْزَلْنَاهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَاخْتَلَطَ بِهِ نَبَاتُ الْأَرْضِ مِمَّا يَأْكُلُ النَّاسُ وَالْأَنْعَامُ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا أَخَذَتِ الْأَرْضُ زُخْرُفَهَا وَازَّيَّنَتْ وَظَنَّ أَهْلُهَا أَنَّهُمْ قَادِرُونَ عَلَيْهَا أَتَاهَا أَمْرُنَا لَيْلًا أَوْ نَهَارًا فَجَعَلْنَاهَا حَصِيدًا كَأَنْ لَمْ تَغْنَ بِالْأَمْسِ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
سبحان الله
Not only does Allah remind us of Jannah and its existence, But He calls us to it!
Allah calls us to it!
Imagine the King or Ruler calls us for a banquet!
We would run, we wouldn't stop waving that fact in peoples faces!!
But when it comes to the invitation of the Creator and King of kings, they are as Allah says
صُمٌّ بُكْمٌ عُمْيٌ
Deaf, Dumb and BlindAnd Allah is inviting us...
To where?
Jannah!
Dar As Salam!
One step into it, is enough to make any person forget his hardship in Dunya... even if it was the most severe of hardships!
Such is Allah , Ar Rahman, that He blessed us with Hidayah so that we may respond to his call,
Such is Allah , Al Hakeem, Al 'Aleem, that Jannah is hidden from us, only to make us yearn for it, so that we may respond to his call!
Such is Allah!
