“So which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?”
(Ar-Rahman: Chapter 55)
This verse of Surah Ar-Rahman is
mentioned 31 times in order to properly inform the believers that they should
never forget that all these blessings come from our Creator and from no one
else and that He has reserved such blessings also in the hereafter (Aakhirat).
Indeed, all the needs of a living being are made available to him (by
Allah). Allah (swt) says:
“We (Allah) have made the day for livelihood.” (78: 12)
See a living example starting with ourselves.
Once we wake up, we have to face many routines. First
we need to breathe in clean air. Do we immediately think that it is one of
favours we have been given? We are healthy – another favour of Allah, the
Most Glorious – we have no difficulty to do so because our respiratory system
works perfectly.
As soon as we open our eyes, we see near and far
images. Is this not a great favour of Allah? When we think, even for a minute,
that there are at this moment, thousands of people who are blind! Did you know
that the centre of the sight is found in the rear brain occupying few cubic
centimetres?
