In "Life / Faith"
Saudi GazetteThose of us who were born Muslim often take for granted and fail to truly appreciate Islam. Of all the blessings Allah has given us, health, wealth, a sound mind, the greatest is to be blessed with guidance and belief in Allah.The chapter in the Qur’an, Surah An-Nahl lists all the gifts that Allah has given mankind, from the animals for our use, bees, rain, wind, the sun, stars, the seas, trees, fruits, plants, and sight, and hearing. However, the very first blessing Allah mentions is the gift of guidance, in the second verse at the beginning of the chapter: {He sends down the angels, with inspiration (revelation) of His command, upon whom He wills of His servants, (telling them), “Warn that there is no deity except Me; so fear Me”.} Yes, truly that is the greatest gift...
