Am I A Belier of The Truth or Not

In the name of Allah

Am I A Belier of The Truth or Not?

As one of the lessons in our ‘Tadabbor’ course we worked on sura ‘Al-Mursalat’ (The Emissaries), and then we were supposed to write down our understanding as an assignment to post on the blog.

First of all here is some information about the subject of this sura for you dear readers. The main issue in sura ‘Al-Mursalat’ is warning the beliers and rejectors of The Truth about their horrible beliefs and wrongdoings. This important issue is divided into ten groups of verses, and at the end of every group there is a repeated verse which says, “On that Day woe to the beliers of The Truth!”  

In fact, in every group some prominent aspects are mentioned to draw our attention to The Truth lying beyond them.

The first thing coming to my mind after studying the sura was making some questions about any group of the verses, and then asking them from myself as the first available one around. I did so, and it was a very great reminder about what I believe in, where I am standing, the shortages I am facing now, and the challenge I demand to deal with for my own sake. Then, I thought it could be shared as my assignment on the blog with hope it would be a reminder for you as well.

So, here are some questions according to sura ‘Al-Mursalat’ to challenge beliefs and actions:

- Do I believe that by descending Revelation/ Quran, Allah has perfectly reminded all do’s and don’ts according to my needs? Do I believe that He has always been doing so without any hesitation or stop? How much do I refer to Quran to see what He wants me to do?

- How much do I believe in Resurrection Day in Hereafter which is the day of separation between Truth and Falsehood? And which side am I going to stand on that Day?

A brief of Sura Al_ Mursalat

In the Name of ALLAH

Sura Al_ Mursalat : The Divine Emissaries

Revealed at Mecca

This sura is revealed with respect to the Hereafter issues as well as threatening the disbelievers who deny the Truth by their lies. The belied people are threaten 10 times in this sura since their principle root of disbelief and paganism is hidden in attentively covering the Truth by their lies.

The beginning verses are pertaining to vowing to the Divine Angels which are swiftly being sent one after another to spread the Divine Truth( Haq) among messengers. These angels with their divine Truth cause to distinguish the Truth (Haq) from falsehood (Batel). By reaching revelation to the messengers, the proof and justification for the good_doers and warning for the wrong_doers is perfected. All in all these swears are to assure human that the fact of Hereafter, stated in the whole holy Book esp. this sura, surely and surely happens with no doubt.

However, on the Day of Separation, woe to the belied people who deviate the Truth trends by their lies. As they deny the Resurrection Day; that's why, they are punished severely with no chance to bring any excuses for their lies again. These disbelievers allow themselves to commit any crime and wrong_doings in their worldly life; besides, they obstacle human's progress and growth to access any divine blessings by their lies and denial of the Definite Truth of the Hereafter.
