So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me.
This verse encapsulate the core being of Muslim character. Muslims are told to remember Allaah azza wa jal, and to be thankful for the blessings bestowed upon them. One can truly thank Allaah, by understanding the concept of tawheed and reinforce this continuously by praising Allaah. By denying the existence of the Creator is the ultimate downfall of humanity, it defies the divine laws and consequently leads to eternal damnation.
O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.
These beautiful words inspire the Believer to hold on to their faith despite the hardships they face. Endurance strengthens the soul, and it’s cure is patience and prayer. By turning to the Creator, it allows the soul to humbly admit its weakness, for one can only rely and trust Allaah azza wa jal, everything else is vain and fragile. Therefore, having constant reliance and faith in Allaah through times of calamity and hardship, not only purifies the heart, but also strengthens one’s emaan.
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ فَلَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ
