Surah Al-Baqarah Ayah 143

أُمَّةً وَسَطًا

The best of Nations

Reflections on ayah 143 surah Baqara

In our journey in life somewhere Allah gave us a little light, that is the reason we are here learning and reflecting,  Alhamdullilah. But as we strive to gain knowledge somewhere or the other we lose track of the focus or our enemy smartly works to deviate it so we become losers..

That's where this ayah plays a big role.. 

We cannot become the best ummah simply by gaining knowledge, yes it is the first step but the real challenge is bringing balance. 

How do we attain it? 

Who decides which is the middle way? 

How will we know if we are on the right track?

Every question answered in the same ayah.

Follow the Prophet ﷺ step by step.

يَتَّبِعُ الرَّسُولَ 

If we do this we can't go wrong.

As Allah is the One who created us and He knows what is best for us. Allah teaches us the middle way through the life of Prophet ﷺ. 

It might be a little difficult but as long as we make dua and keep trying Allah opens doors of ease. None of our efforts are going to waste, as Allah Ash Shakoor appreciates every single deed though no one notice it.

This Ramadan lets open our hearts to Allah's commands and decisions. Yes, may be you can't pray, may be you can't fast, may be some other responsibilities came up but do we not believe Allah is the best of planners? We are allowed to witness the month of Ramadan..isn't that the biggest blessing?

We have the capacity to do things withing the resources and situations we are placed in, lets make use of it and try to do our best to attain the best out of this month for the reward is based on intention.

Always remember your situation, the people and responsibilities are all part of the test..

The test of Imaan!!
