Surrah al Masad (Fiber)
Assalamualaikum wbt. How are you all?
Bismillah. Today, we're gonna talk about al Masad Surrah. Compare to Surrah al Nasr (positivity about Islam) to al masad (negativity to Islam). MasyaAllah, how beautiful it is-related to each other. No one can create an amazingly Kitab, Quran, like Allah did. This surah rank, 111 with 5 ayyah-place received in Makkah. Are you ready? InsyaAllah.
Alright, when Prophet when to valley of Al-Batha, Quraysh gathered. He said, if I told you the enemy come to attack-do you all believe me? They all said yes. And Prophet then said, say all of you LaillahaillaAllah (No God but Allah). And then Abu Lahab against this and he stood up dusting of his hands and said, "Perish you for the rest of this day! Have you gathered us for this'' Then Allah revealed, this surrah.
Bismillahirrahmannirrahim.
1-The cursed to ''yad''-hand Abu Lahab with slowly and bad destroyed to entire in the end.
This ayyah refer to Abu Lahab both hand that attack or make harm to Muslims. That he tragically start with a skin disease with blister to his hand then to his entire body. This is like a cursed to his beauty and pride that later be contagious until he die.
Lesson to learn: Anger management-The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "If any of you becomes angry and he is standing, let him sit down, so his anger will go away; if it does not go away, let him lie down."
In hadith: “The strong man is not the one who can wrestle, but it is the one who can control himself when he is angry.”(Bukhari)
2- His wealth, power and and children are no uses, no benefit.
In Abu Lahab previous life, he said that the wealth, power and his children will help them in future. But the truth is all of that not give any hands or help. This is picture through after his die, nobody dare to touch his body or organized his funeral, they use stick to push his body to the grave. MasyaAllah.
Lesson to learn: On the authority of Abu Hurairah (ra) that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, ‘When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: Sadaqah Jariyah (a continuous charity), or knowledge from which benefit is gained, or a righteous child who prays for him’. (Muslim)
3-He then will surely enter the lowest hell with explosion of fire.
His name ''Lahab''-blush or bright of his face vs ''lahab Allah''-hell of fire, what he proud of equal to his own punishment. And in this ayyah, Allah promises that later in hereafter; Abu Lahab place's are fix in Jahannam and no turn back.
Lesson to learn: So, make it right... Anything related to Abu Lahab and what he do must be stay away and take a lesson. Extreme ego creates a disease in the heart of believing oneself to blind to the truth, one self-sufficient until not dependent on Allah. '' Your God is One God. As for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, their hearts are defiant and they are arrogant. (22) Invariably, God knows what they conceal and what they reveal. Surely, He does not love the arrogant.” [Quran 16:23]
4-His wife, is firewood carrier.
Her full name Arwah bint Harb, known as Ummu Jamil a honored person next become a continuous slave (downgrade her value in lowest rank social status) that bring a firewood-lit up fire to her husband. Initiate how she bring sharp stick from a jungle to in front Prophet house in intention to harm him.
Lesson to learn: Avoid bring continuous lies, and bring hate or hate between people. In group chat of social media nowadays, we can see this is happening. The unsure news is dangerous then pull up a fitnah. MasyaAllah.
5-At her neck got a rope from a fiber.
In her previous life, she sold the necklace and use that money to against Islam. And the rope is symbolize how she tighten the firewood from the jungle. Allah change the necklace to rope-that usually used only for animals. It also made from fiber that easily to lit up the fire and tight around her neck.
Lesson to learn: Toxic partner-An unhealthy relationship bring out the worst from you that drag you down. If can't remove them, stay away from them. “Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves” (Ar-Rad, 13:11).
Assalamualaikum and see you again.
