(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)
وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَٰهِۦمُ رَبِّ أَرِنِى كَيْفَتُحْىِ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ قَالَ أَوَلَمْ تُؤْمِن قَالَ بَلَىٰ وَلَٰكِن لِّيَطْمَئِنَّ قَلْبِى قَالَ فَخُذْ أَرْبَعَةً مِّنَ ٱلطَّيْرِ فَصُرْهُنَّ إِلَيْكَ ثُمَّ ٱجْعَلْ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ جَبَلٍ مِّنْهُنَّ جُزْءًا ثُمَّٱدْعُهُنَّ يَأْتِينَكَ سَعْيًا وَٱعْلَمْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ 260
Oneness of God and
Belief in the Hereafter are such two realities, upon which; the Foundation of
Islam has been established. The individual who believes in the Oneness of God
Almighty can never go astray and the believer of life after death keeps an
strict eye on his deeds always, and tries to care and abstain from the sins and
evil entirely. In fact, every Believer has perfect faith in the life after
death and the Day of Resurrection, like this, Abraham (peace be upon him) had
full faith. However, He (peace be upon him) questioned from Allah Almighty for
the purpose of observing that how He gives life after death. Allah Almighty
asked, “Do you not believe in it? Abraham (peace be upon him) requested, “I
have Faith; even up to the level of Belief till now, of course; I wish only
that my heart may get more satisfaction after witnessing”.
Lord Almighty told the
Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him), “Take four of the birds and cause them to
incline with you, so that their acquaintance with you may be well. Then mix
their minced meat after slaughtering, then place the pieces of that mixed
minced meat of all those four birds on every hilltop, then call them by name
staying in the centre, they will come to you in haste”. Abraham (peace be upon
him) did so. When he called one of the birds, the pieces of the body of that
bird assembled altogether themselves from the hilltops and becoming in the form
of living bird, they reached close to Abraham (peace be upon him). Like this,
all the four birds came back to life and came running near him (peace be upon him).
Some full of
philosophy advice have been declared from this lesson, which are appended
below:
· With the observations,
which the chosen servants of God Almighty see, their belief and faith
increases.
· Type of question which
was asked by Abraham (peace be upon him), these types of questions don’t grow
due to disbelief, but in their depth; the passion of goodness and research is
driven.
· Satisfaction of the
heart is produced due to increasing of belief.
· Coming back to life of
the birds and their running unto Abraham (peace be upon him) on his call should
not be taken as impossible. Here; we discuss about a little example. Suppose!
If thin pieces of iron, copper, brass and gold are kept duly mutually mixed as
four different piles separately, and then magnet is put in their centre, you
will see that the pieces of iron will be drawn towards the magnet; being
separate from all four piles. Like this, the magnet power did exist in the
voice of Abraham (peace be upon him). Which bird was called by him, that bird
came running toward him. Our aim from this example is that the Miracles like
this are not impossible from the power of Allah Almighty.
· Allah Almighty is Able
to do all things. Nothing is impossible for Him.
· His every Commandment,
Revelation and work depends on any philosophy.
That topic ends on
this verse which had begun from ‘Aayat-ul-Kursii (Verse – 255).
