QUOTES OF THE DAY

 

Tafseer (Explanation):

This verse describes the qualities of the righteous (al-muttaqoon)—those who will benefit from the guidance of the Qur'an, as mentioned in the verse just before (Surah Al-Baqarah: 2).

1. "يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ" – Believe in the Unseen

  • Ghayb refers to everything beyond human perception—such as belief in Allah, the angels, the Day of Judgment, Paradise and Hell, divine destiny, and all that has not been witnessed.
  • True faith begins with trusting what Allah has revealed, even if it cannot be seen or empirically proven.

2. "وَيُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ" – Establish Prayer

  • Not just performing prayer, but establishing it, which implies:
    • Performing it regularly and properly,
    • With sincerity and humility,
    • Following all its rules and spiritual aspects.
  • Prayer is the first and most visible act of worship, and a sign of one's submission to Allah.

3. "وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ" – Spend from what We have provided

  • They spend from their sustenance (wealth, knowledge, time, etc.) in ways pleasing to Allah.
  • It includes:
    • Charity to the poor (sadaqah),
    • Obligatory almsgiving (zakat),
    • Supporting good causes.
  • This shows a balance between spiritual devotion (salah) and social responsibility (spending).

 

Reflection

This verse paints a picture of a believer: someone who believes with conviction, worships with consistency, and gives generously. These three qualities—faith, prayer, and charity—form the foundation of a righteous Muslim’s life.

Who is Allah?
