🌟 Juz 8: وَلَوْأَنَّنَا
Believe with Certainty!
There are two kinds of guidance:
The first type is of Irshād, and Irshād is Ta’līm; meaning that a person gets to know what Allahﷻ wants. The second type is of Tawfīq; the ability to act on what one knows.
🤍When a person has an expanded heart (يَشْرَحْ صَدْرَهُۥ) they’re able to embrace Islam – happily, wholeheartedly, only then are they able to act upon it. So, the person whom Allah ﷻ wishes good for, He gives him the understanding of Dīn.
🖤When a person has tight and constricted heart (صَدْرَهُۥ ضَيِّقًا حَرَجًا) the thought of Islam for such people makes them feel like they cannot breathe. They find Allah ﷻ’s commands suffocating. They find the rules of Islam extremely difficult to follow, consequently they become dispirited from performing Ṣalāh, reading Qur’ān, fasting, and are even deprived from the blessings of Ramaḍān.
We should ask Allah ﷻ to expand our chest for Islam. The person whose chest is open to Islam, he/she will be content, at peace and will happily accept and follow the commands of Allah ﷻ.
