Remember The God & Thanks For Him

 

 

Remembrance and gratefulness (L-178)

فَاذكُروني أَذكُركُم وَاشكُروا لي وَلا تَكفُرونِ152.

152.  Faz-kuruuNiii  ‘Az-kurkum  washkuruu Lii  wa laa takfu-ruun. (Section 18/2)

152.  So remember Me, and I will remember you. And thank Me, and do not be ungrateful.

The principles regarding improvement of the Muslim Ummah (Nation) have been described in the earlier verses, so now it is necessary that the people, who admit the invitation of Holy Qur’an, be guided to act in accordance with those principles and tell them to do with zeal, by keeping in view these matters. So they are being commanded first of all: Remember God every moment.

Meaning of the ‘remember’ to Lord Almighty, is that every individual should move on the path, guided by Him with full fondness and courage. He should keep the liking and assent of God on priority in every work, as during standing, sitting, walking, wandering, waking, and sleeping. Particularly, the way of worship has been selected too to remember Him. It is our duty to keep our footing on it. As its reward, God commands: I shall continue raining over you My particular favors and blessings in this world, as well as on the Judgment Day, and you will be bestowed with new and fresh kindness and mercies.

Secondly, the Muslim nation is being commanded: Give thanks to Me. The best form of giving Thanks to God is that; His favors and blessings be determined for His works according to His commandments and should work in the limitations, which have been ordered by our Lord to perform by the human beings. With it, His blessings and favors increase. This enlargement and increase is called blessings and fortune.

The third command, delivered by means of Holy Qur’an is, “Esteem highly the entire powers, blessings and strength; granted by God. Due to ungratefulness; not only the favor is snatched, but the severe punishment and strong agony is also awarded.

God has appointed the Muslims for teaching and guidance of the nations. It was necessary to perform this duty successfully that at first; morality, manners and courtesy of superior quality and needful excellence be produced into them. Of them, three excellences have been mentioned in the today’s lesson, which are foundation (base) of the entire excellences. That is to say, we must worship God and obey His orders, spend favors, blessings and powers; granted by Him, according to His commands and do not use strength, powers and causes, which He gifted to us during His disobedience. https://youtu.be/9UW5RQvME8k
