Loving Allah is the best kind of love.
Loving Allah is the best kind of love. It’s better than any love we have for the creation whether that’s our husband, children, mother. It’s a love that causes you no pain or worry. You can have no friends around you, bad treatment from your family or husband, or troubled children. Yet you find yourself never feeling alone or unloved because you know you have Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala. And any pain you feel it’s short lived when you remember Allah ta’ala. We need to strengthen our love for Allah ta’ala and build and maintain a strong connection with Him every day because to lose this is the greatest lost ever and may Allah protect us from that as none of us are safe from this.السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته.

My reflections on the last few verses until the end.
SubhanAllah, I cannot begin to describe how happy I am to have made it to the end of the recordings of the tafsir of surah Luqman. I have learned soo much from this Surah that I wouldn’t have ever been able to understand otherwise.
One thing that struck me most is how the verses that I used to always read and pass over quickly because they seemed very clear or obvious were actually much much deeper when I really open my heart to true reflection. For example the verse about Allah making the night merge into the day and the day into the night, and how the sun and moon are subjected. SubhanAllah when I really paused and thought about this as ustadha spoke about it, I was so awe struck that every single day the sun rises and sets at its appointed time, down to the exact minute. Look at how large and far away it is, yet how calculated its path is. The precision of Allah in His creation and even in His words, is astounding.
I found the final ayah to be a powerful ending to a powerful Surah. Allah’s knowledge of our time of death, the Hour, when clouds will release rain, and what is in the wombs.. SubhanAllah. How vast Allah’s knowledge is, and how little we understand, yet how arrogant mankind is with the little knowledge Allah gave us.
From this Surah, the biggest lesson I took is the deep appreciation for my Lord.. His Wisdom, His knowledge, His decree, His bounties, His power, His Mercy. I want to know Allah more and more, so that my heart can feel love for Him more and more deeply. Before I had thought that my sense of tawheed was acceptable but now I feel that it is severely lacking. I learned that every single thing can and should be tied back to Allah. And that there really isn’t any reason to be upset or saddened or even amazed by humans and our circumstances. Instead of thinking “SubhanAllah that humans were able to invent an airplane that takes us to the sky”, I should think “praise be to Allah who made this possible and without Him we would not be able to do this”… Instead of thinking “oh, the weatherman made the wrong prediction, it is raining today, he knows nothing!” I should think “indeed only Allah has the knowledge of when the clouds will rain”… Instead of thinking “tomorrow this will be my plan and my schedule” and getting upset when it doesn’t go as planned, I should think “no person knows what he will earn tomorrow” and be content in the decree of Allah if things don’t go as planned.
Alhamdulillah I cannot count all the gems in this Surah. I ask Allah to guide me and my sisters to implement what we have learned so that we may be from صبار شكور (the patient and grateful) and to reward ustaadha for sharing with us so that we too may benefit
