Presents : Tafsir Of Surah Fussilat Verse 46
In the name of Allah, the most beneficent, The most Merciful.
Indeed the best of speech is the book of Allah and the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad, the most evil of things are those which are newly invented (in the religion) and every innovation is going astray.

May The peace and blessings of Allah be upon the noblest of
Mankind, Muhammad (Peace be upon him) his households, his companions, those that followed, those that are following and those that will follow him up till the day of Judgement.
Brothers and Sisters in Islam, it is very Important for us to think about the beautiful words of Allah and whenever we open the Qur'an to read we should ty as much as possible to ponder over it's meaning for it is in the remembrance of Allah that the heart finds peace.
Tonight In shaa Allah we are will take ourselves through a very powerful verse in the Suratu Fussilat where Allah says :
من عمل صلحا فلنفسه ومن اساء فعليها وما ربك بظلم للعبيد
Whoever works righteousness benefits his own soul; whoever works evil, it is against his own soul: nor is thy Lord ever unjust (in the least) to His Servants.
Whoever works righteousness benefits his own soul; whoever works evil, it is against his own soul: nor is thy Lord ever unjust (in the least) to His Servants.
In this verse, we are made to know that We are given freedom to do whichever and whatever we want, but it depends on how we want to live our lives and the outcome we want for our separate selves.
Allah says whoever performs righteousness will benefit no one but his own soul subhanallah!! There's no need listing a hundred of righteous things to do, we all know what is right amd what isn't.
Righteousness starts from the fulfilment of our duties towards Allah amd what is that duty? It's nothing other than worshipping him, observing our daily salah, fasting in the month of Ramadan, Giving Charity, and to make pilgrimage to The sacred house (Ka'bah) if we have the ability to do so.
This is the righteousness to Allah, but righteousness to our fellow Brothers and Sisters is simply through kindness amd respect for one another's nature. The Ummah today is such that a Brother or Sister doesn't make Tesleem to another Brother or Sister jist because they belong to different sect whereas Allah referred to us all as Muslims! Subhanallah!! Where as the Prophet told us that meeting a muslim brother with a smile is an act of Charity!!

Obedience to the parents, giving alms to the poor and all other act of righteousness we know are what comes in relation to this verse. When we engage in all acts of righteousness, we benefit no one but our own soul, this is what the first part of the verse is saying.
The second part actually tackles our evil selves, we know what Allah and His prophet has prohibited for us yet we deem it fit to engage in them at times, we all know Alcohol is forbidden, Zina is forbidden and all sorts of immoral vices, yet we still see muslims who engages in all these. Subhanallah!!!
Whenever we want to do something bad, we shoukd always remember how disappointed and how angry Allah will be with us for He is aware of all our deeds. Allah says :

قل كفي بالله شهيدا بيني وبينكم انهۥ كان بعباده خبيرا بصيرا
Say: "Enough is Allah for a witness between me and you: for He is well acquainted with His servants, and He sees (all things).
17-Isra : 96

17-Isra : 96
We should always have it in mind that Allah is ever watchful over us, for Allah says in yet another verse :
بلي ان ربهۥ كان به بصيرا
Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!
84-Inshiqaq : 15
Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!
84-Inshiqaq : 15
The last part of the verse is pointing to the fact that there's a reward for both righteousness and evil and Allah will never be unjust to anyone. If you engage in righteousness, your reward is righteousness but of you engage in evil there's nothing you'll be rewarded with than evil.
Allah says :
تلك ءايت الله نتلوها عليك بالحق وما الله يريد ظلما للعلمين
These are the Signs of Allah: We rehearse them to thee in Truth: And Allah means no injustice to any of His creatures.
3-Aal-e-Imran : 108

3-Aal-e-Imran : 108
For the righteous ones, Allah's good news to them is that:
ومن يعمل من الصلحت وهو مومن فلا يخاف ظلما ولا هضما
But he who works deeds of righteousness, and has faith, will have no fear of harm nor of any curtailment (of what is his due).
20-Taha : 112
ومن يعمل من الصلحت وهو مومن فلا يخاف ظلما ولا هضما
But he who works deeds of righteousness, and has faith, will have no fear of harm nor of any curtailment (of what is his due).
20-Taha : 112
But for the evil doers Allah says :
وجحدوا بها واستيقنتها انفسهم ظلما وعلوا فانظر كيف كان عقبة المفسدين
And they rejected those Signs in iniquity and arrogance, though their souls were convinced thereof: so see what was the end of those who acted corruptly!
27-Naml : 14
وجحدوا بها واستيقنتها انفسهم ظلما وعلوا فانظر كيف كان عقبة المفسدين
And they rejected those Signs in iniquity and arrogance, though their souls were convinced thereof: so see what was the end of those who acted corruptly!
27-Naml : 14
May Allah grant us all goodness, May He protect us against our evil self, grant us sweetness of Imãn and count us among the righteous one whose rewards will be Paradise wherein they'll live happily ever after and they shall never die. May He protect us, our families and the Muslim Ummah at large from the torments of Hell Fire.
Wassalamu alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu.
