God wants you to know

Explanation :

God wants you to know that the Day of Judgment will reveal the truth of everyone’s actions. This verse describes a scene where people’s faces will reflect their spiritual state. Those who lived with faith and righteousness will have bright, glowing faces, filled with joy and peace. In contrast, those who turned away from faith after receiving it will have darkened faces, marked by shame and regret. The brightness or darkness of the face symbolizes the inner reality of a person’s heart and their relationship with God.

The verse specifically addresses those who believed but later chose disbelief. God wants you to know that faith is a precious gift, and turning away from it has serious consequences. The question posed to those with darkened faces—“Did you disbelieve after having believed?”—shows that their rejection was a conscious choice. They were given guidance but chose to ignore it, prioritizing worldly desires or doubts over truth. This highlights the importance of staying steadfast in faith and not letting distractions or temptations lead one astray.

Actions have consequences. The punishment mentioned is not out of cruelty but a just result of rejecting truth after knowing it. This verse serves as a reminder to value faith, remain consistent in devotion, and avoid actions that could lead to spiritual loss. It encourages self-reflection and sincerity, urging believers to hold firm to their faith to avoid regret on the Day of Judgment, when truth will be undeniable.

Verse 107

Arabic (Transliteration):

Waamma allatheena ibyaddat wujoohuhum fafee rahmati Allahi hum feeha khalidoon

Meaning:

As for those whose faces shine bright, they will be in God’s mercy, living in it forever.

Explanation:

God wants you to know that righteousness leads to eternal happiness. This verse focuses on the fortunate ones whose faces will shine brightly on the Day of Judgment, reflecting their faith and good deeds. These are the people who stayed true to God, living lives of sincerity, kindness, and obedience. Their glowing faces symbolize inner purity and the joy of being close to God. Being “in God’s mercy” means they will enter paradise, a place of peace and endless blessings.

The promise of living in God’s mercy forever emphasizes the eternal reward for those who remain steadfast. God wants you to know that faith, when paired with good actions, secures a place in His boundless compassion. This mercy is not temporary but everlasting, offering comfort and security that never fades. The verse inspires hope, showing that God values and rewards those who strive to please Him, even through challenges. It’s a reminder to keep faith strong and actions pure to attain this beautiful outcome.

God reward is a gift of His grace. The bright faces are not just a sign of personal achievement but of God’s love and acceptance. This verse encourages believers to live with purpose, knowing their efforts to follow God’s guidance will lead to eternal joy. It also motivates them to seek forgiveness and stay humble, trusting in God’s promise of mercy that awaits the faithful in the hereafter.

Verse 108

Arabic (Transliteration):

Tilka ayatu Allahi natlooha AAalayka bilhaqqi wama Allahu yureedu thulman lilAAalameen

Meaning:

These are God’s verses, which We recite to you in truth, and God does not intend injustice to anyone.

Explanation :

God guidance is clear and truthful. This verse emphasizes that the messages in the Quran, including the descriptions of the Day of Judgment, are divine revelations shared with honesty. They are not human-made stories but God’s words, meant to guide and warn humanity. By calling these “God’s verses,” the Quran underscores their authority and purpose—to lead people toward truth and righteousness.

The statement that God does not intend injustice highlights His perfect fairness. God wants you to know that every outcome on the Day of Judgment, whether reward or punishment, is based on justice. No one will be wronged; everyone will face the consequences of their own choices. This reassures believers that God’s system is flawless, and He does not punish out of cruelty or favor anyone unfairly. It encourages trust in His wisdom and motivates people to take responsibility for their actions, knowing they will be judged fairly.

God wants you to know that His guidance is a mercy to all. The Quran’s teachings are universal, meant for everyone, regardless of time or place. By sharing these verses, God offers a path to avoid injustice and harm. This verse calls believers to reflect on their actions, follow divine guidance, and trust in God’s justice. It also comforts those who face hardship, assuring them that God’s plan is fair, and their efforts to follow His path will not go unnoticed or unrewarded.

Verse 109

Arabic (Transliteration):

Walillahi ma feeassamawati wama fee al-ardi wa-ila Allahi Tur jaau al-omooru

Meaning:

To God belongs everything in the heavens and the earth, and to Him all matters will return.

Explanation:

God wants you to know that He is the ultimate owner of everything. This verse reminds us that all creation—everything in the heavens and the earth—belongs to God alone. He is the Creator and Sustainer, with complete authority over the universe. This truth humbles us, showing that our lives, possessions, and actions are under His control, and we are accountable to Him.

The phrase “to Him all matters will return” emphasizes that God is the final judge. God wants you to know that every decision, action, and event will ultimately be brought back to Him on the Day of Judgment. This highlights the temporary nature of this world and the importance of living with purpose and accountability. Knowing that all matters return to God encourages believers to align their lives with His guidance, making choices that reflect faith and righteousness, as they will answer to Him.

God wants you to know that this reality offers both a warning and comfort. For those who strive to do good, it’s reassuring to know that God sees and will reward their efforts. For those who stray, it’s a reminder to seek forgiveness and correct their path. This verse calls for humility, trust in God’s plan, and a focus on preparing for the hereafter. By recognizing His ownership and authority, believers are motivated to live meaningfully, seeking His approval in all they do, knowing everything ultimately returns to Him.

Verse 110

Arabic (Transliteration):

Kuntum khayra ommatin okhrijat linnasi ta/muroona bilmaAAroofi watanhawna AAani almunkari watu/minoona billahi walaw amana ahlu alkitabi lakana khayran lahum minhumu almu/minoona waaktharuhum alfasiqoon

Meaning:

You are the best community brought forth for humanity, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in God. If the People of the Book had believed, it would have been better for them. Some of them are believers, but most are disobedient 

Explanation:

The Muslim community has a special role. This verse praises believers as the “best community” because they are tasked with guiding humanity. Their mission is to promote good (like kindness and justice) and prevent wrong (like oppression and sin) while staying firm in faith. This responsibility is a privilege, showing God’s trust in them to spread His message and improve the world through actions and belief.

The verse also mentions the People of the Book (Jews and Christians), noting that belief in God’s final message would benefit them. God wants you to know that faith is a universal call, open to all, but it requires sincerity. While some among the People of the Book are faithful, many are described as disobedient, choosing to reject or distort the truth. This serves as a reminder that faith must be paired with action—believing in God means living by His guidance, not just claiming belief. The Muslim community is urged to lead by example, showing the beauty of faith through their conduct.

God wants you to know that this role comes with responsibility. Being the “best community” means actively working for good, standing against wrong, and maintaining strong faith. It’s a call to be proactive, compassionate, and steadfast, inspiring others through actions. This verse encourages Muslims to embrace their purpose, stay united, and show the world the value of living for God’s pleasure, while inviting others to the path of truth and righteousness.
