47. Motivational Tip

48. In the sight of Allah, am I like…? Please don’t be offended. Click on the next slide to know what I mean.

49. Example of those who do not fulfill the rights of Allah’s Book. People before us were given a Book! About them, Allah says that their example is: ...كمثل الحمار يحمل أسفارًا. “that of a donkey which carries books” (62:5) i.e., they did not fulfill its rights (Believe, Recite, Understand, Implement, Propagate). That is why they are like donkeys.

50. Important Points. • Allah is not joking (astaghfirullah). • He is extremely angry with those who did not value the Book • Allah does not have any special relationship with us either. • If we do not fulfill the rights of Qur’an, we will not be better than donkeys in His sight. It is as simple as that.
