Deaf, dumb and blind - so they will not return [to the right path].
Or
[it is] like a rainstorm from the sky within which is darkness, thunder
and lightning. They put their fingers in their ears against the
thunderclaps in dread of death. But Allah is encompassing of the
disbelievers.
The
lightning almost snatches away their sight. Every time it lights [the
way] for them, they walk therein; but when darkness comes over them,
they stand [still]. And if Allah had willed, He could have taken away
their hearing and their sight. Indeed, Allah is over all things
competent.
Through this beautiful example, Allah explains the attitude of hypocrites (Munafiqoon). When Prophet saw brought the light of islam/guidance to Madinah, initially, hypocrites became Muslims to receive material benefits associated with being Muslims. But then later, when Muslims were encountered with difficulties/challenges, hypocrites refused to sacrifice and backed out. As a result of their hypocrisy, deceptive attitude and weak Iman, Allah took away the light of guidance from them.
In the light of these verses, we should check ourselves: what's our attitude at the the time of difficulties and hardships? Do we continue to thank Allah and accept His decree without complaining? Also, we should check our willingness to accept and act upon the difficult commandments of Islam? How much are we willing to change? How much are we willing to accept and implement? Are our desires or arrogance or ego or earning pleasure of people preventing us from changing ourselves?
Subhanallah, the Quran courses are like heavy down pour of guidance for us. Therefore, we should try to seek as much hidayah from them as possible. We should strive to accept all the commands of Allah with an open and accepting heart. Because if if we fail to utilize these opportunities of learning to internalize guidance and strengthen our Iman, then Allah swt will deprive us from guidance forever. Seeking guidance from Quran totally depends upon our attitude towards it. Therefore, it is very important to continuously renew our Iman and intentions throughout the life by seeking righteous company and maintaining a strong connection with Quran.
Its now time to get rid of the attitude of pleasing people and adopt the attitude of pleasing Allah only, inshallah!
May Allah help us to fully internalize the guidance obtained through His Book and keep us connected through His Book for the rest of our lives, Ameen!
