Allah Almighty has showered His unfathomable blessings and virtues on man in
this world for his spiritual, physical mantel and intellectual growth and
betterment. He would continue this practice to the end as He is the Benevolent
and the compassionate.
Allah Almighty has blessed us with His thousands of blessings and bounties
but it is not His practice to mention them to make us realize his blessings .He
has crowned us raising to status of the best of His Creation and craft. He has
also crafted us in such a magnificent way that we become a fancy for the angels
and other spiritual creatures. He has tied us in beautiful relations like
father, mother, son and daughter, husband and wife. In a nutshell he has given
his thousands of blessings that are far valuable and magnificent even our
imagination cannot grasp their strength and value.
But he has not mentioned his blessings to express His benevolence because he
is charitable whether someone recognizes His majesty or not, He blessed everyone
with his compassion and mercy. He also does not mention his acts of benevolence
he extends to the people.
But there is one supreme blessing that He showered upon the mankind and he
sent His Beloved to the people of all the ages and times. When he blessed the
people with that virtue and compassion, he tells them with forceful emphasis.
He says in the Holy Quran,
لَقَدْ مَنَّ اللّهُ عَلَى الْمُؤمِنِينَ إِذْ
بَعَثَ فِيهِمْ رَسُولاً مِّنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ يَتْلُواْ عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتِهِ
وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَإِن كَانُواْ مِن قَبْلُ
لَفِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍO
(سورۃ آل عمران 3 : 164)
ترجمہ : ’’بے شک اللہ نے مسلمانوں پر بڑا احسان فرمایا کہ
ان میں انہیں میں سے عظمت والا رسول بھیجا جو ان پر اس کی آیتیں پڑھتا ہے اور انھیں
پاک کرتا ہے اور انھیں کتاب وحکمت کی تعلیم دیتا ہے اگرچہ وہ لوگ اس سے پہلے کھلی
گمراہی میں تھے‘‘۔
Verily Allah Almighty has done a supreme act of benevolence when He raised
His Beloved as a Prophet to them selecting him among them, the one who recites
His Verses Upon them, makes them free of all sort of corruption, teaches them
His Book and wisdom, though they had been wandering in pitch of darkness.”
Allah Says in the above mention verse,
It is my special act of benevolence, compassion and favour upon the people
that I have raised my Beloved to them, so that He would mould your destiny;
change the worse circumstances that have gripped the people badly, and raise
them to the highest esteem and honour.
O people Beware! That there is not any other greater blessing in my
possession than that I have blessed you with my Beloved for whom I have created
the whole world , beautified it with flashing stars, trembling lakes, cool
breeze.
It does not suit me to mention my blessings upon you but it is necessary
doing so lest you should become indifferent to it as you had been to the other
blessings and recognize its importance and worth.
Now it is obligatory upon the people to remain thankful to Allah Almighty
constantly by expressing their joy and happiness on the supreme act of
compassion and favour Allah Almighty has extended to them.
As Allah Almighty says in the Holy Quran,
قُلْ بِفَضْلِ اللّهِ
وَبِرَحْمَتِهِ فَبِذَلِكَ فَلْيَفْرَحُواْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُونَO
(یونس10 : 58)
ترجمہ : ’’آپ
فرما دیں کہ اللہ کے فضل سے اس کی رحمت سے (جو اُن پر نازل ہوئی) اس پر ان کو خوش
ہونا چاہئے یہ تو ان چیزوں سے جو وہ جمع کر رہے ہیں کہیں بڑھ کر ہے‘‘۔
(O
my Beloved) tell them that they should be happy upon the compassion and
benevolence of Allah Almighty which he extended to them and spend something from
their wealth they possess and own.
